Full-time: Dortmund 4-2 Union

Dortmund are now unbeaten in 15 consecutive Bundesliga matches thanks to this victory! Niclas Füllkrug opened the scoring early on, but goals from Robin Gosens and Leonardo Bonucci - the second from the penalty spot - put die Eisernen in front. However, a stunning Nico Schlotterbeck effort shortly after interval restored parity, before Julian Brandt and Julian Ryerson efforts gave Die Schwarzgelben all three points.

The Norwegian's second goal in two games may well have secured all three points for his side.

Union are still plugging away here, and Kobel needs to be alert to stop Fofana's powerful effort.

Dortmund two to the good

This one is a bit fortunate, as Ryerson's effort from outside the area takes a heavy deflection off Gosens on its way into the net. Dortmund won't care, though, and they are now in a comfortable position.

What a goal!

That is outrageous! The centre-back is at least 30 yards from goal as he lets fly, but his effort is headed straight for the top corner. Two Rønnows wouldn't have saved that!

Despite going one behind, Union are in front of the break. After Füllkrug's opener, Gosens equalised from a corner before Bonucci scored his first goal in Germany from the penalty spot. Let's see what the second half has in store!

Becker goes close

The forward is released down the right flank and, although he is forced wide, he tests Kobel from a tight angle. The goalkeeper gets a strong hand to it, though, and pushes it to safety.

Union complete the comeback!

Again, VAR is involved as a foul on Becker from Hummels is spotted. From the resulting spot-kick, Bonucci fires into the corner to become the oldest Italian to score for the club. That is also his first goal for the club!

Union almost go ahead!

Union are so dangerous from set-pieces, and they strike once again! This time, Král gets his head to a Trimmel free-kick, directing the ball into the corner for his first goal for the club. However, the midfielder is in offside position when doing so, and is immediately substituted following the decision.

After scoring versus Hoffenheim last week, Füllkrug has his second goal for Die Schwarzgelben. Rønnow does well to save the Germany international's header from Reus' corner, but the striker buries the rebound to put his side ahead.

Dortmund team news

Terzić, meanwhile, brings in three fresh faces to the side that drew against Milan. One of the changes is forced, with Bensebaini unavailable following his red card versus Hoffenheim, so Marius Wolf replaces him. Elsewhere, Özcan and Brandt make way for Nmecha and Bynoe-Gittens.

Dortmund's impressive 2023

BVB's 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim last weekend means they are now unbeaten in their last 14 Bundesliga matches - that longest active streak in Germany's top three divisions. The 4-2 loss versus Bayern in April is their only league defeat of the calendar year, and they sit atop of the 2023 table, nine points above the Bavarians.

Terzic taking nothing for granted

Dortmund are in the mood for a home win after being held 0-0 by Milan in midweek. Coach Edin Terzic is refusing to read too much into Union's current form, saying: "They had some unfortunate defeats, with some very close matches and a lot of back luck in tight matches. We know how strong they are though, and how unpleasant they can be to play. We are setting ourselves up for Union Berlin in their best guise - which we have seen in recent years."

Fischer staying positive

Union Berlin head to Dortmund on a run of six losses in a row in all competitions. Coach Urs Fischer says: "We have to approach the task with a positive attitude and have the conviction to get something in Dortmund. We have to stay compact for ninety minutes and have good organisation."

Watch: Dortmund 2-1 Union - previous meeting

Youssoufa Moukoko came off the bench to score the winner in a 2-1 victory for Dortmund when these sides last met. It was a victory that had Dortmund dreaming of the title.

Head-to-head

Union have lost five of their eight Bundesliga meetings with Dortmund and they have only lost as often in the top flight against Bayern Munich. BVB only have a better win rate against Freiburg (66.0%) among the current Bundesliga clubs than against Union (62.5%).

Füllkrug up and running

It was a good outing for Dortmund in Hoffenheim, with Niclas Füllkrug's first goal for the club getting the ball rolling. Union don't represent the best opposition for the Germany striker, however, with Füllkrug going without a goal in four successive Bundesliga losses to Die Eisernen. He did score the winner in his other top-flight meeting with Union back in 2019/20.
