Union Berlin have started another bad form in the Bundesliga. I must admit that I'm not surprised at all because we have seen it before in this season also.
I don't see it awkward of course because they weren't a team from which people had big expectations before the beginning of the season. They are already performing much better than the expected level. But as of now I assume the expectation level would be at top 4. The supporters must be wishing to see their team in the Champions League next time. They are still a part of the Europa League on one hand and eliminated a challenging competitor like Ajax. I don't know how much they can do more there but one thing is certain that Union Berlin are having a wonderful season anyway.
I feel that this assessment of Union Berlin is too fast and too exaggerated to assume it is a bad team. That is, when Union Berlin gets a defeat and/or draw, then many people judge Union Berlin to have a bad performance and/or something like that. In fact, with Union Berlin being able to survive and compete in the top four throughout the season is also basically a good result.
So, we shouldn't be able to expect anything big with Union Berlin because even so, Union Berlin is not a team that has the ability to keep on winning in every match.
