Overview

• Rani Khedira emphasizes that Union Berlin is more stable this season compared to last year's near-relegation struggles, with the team remaining unified during setbacks.
• Despite a strong start under new coach Bo Svensson, Union has gone five games without a win and four without scoring, exposing offensive inefficiencies.
• Khedira identifies a lack of precision and determination in the final third as key reasons for the team's scoring drought, though he praises their defensive strength.
• Midfielder Aljoscha Kemlein, initially a doubt due to muscle concerns, returned to training and may still feature in Saturday's game against Bayer Leverkusen.
• Union faces a challenging schedule with matches against top Bundesliga teams Leverkusen and Stuttgart, but Khedira remains optimistic about their home-field advantage.
