We said: SV Darmstadt 98 0-2 Union Berlin

While Darmstadt competed well to limit Frankfurt to a one-goal victory on the opening weekend, scoring goals for the newly-promoted side could be a major issue at this level. As such, we expect Union Berlin to have too much nous and quality for them on Saturday, with Fischer's side hoping to fly out of the traps just as they did last season. Read more.
