Espanyol and Union Berlin Set to Clash in First-Ever Meeting
On Saturday, August 2, 2025, Spanish football club Espanyol and German side Union Berlin will face off in a pre-season friendly at The Stadion An der Alten Försterei. This will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
Espanyol's manager, Manolo Gonzalez, will lead his team into the match, as they continue their preparations for the upcoming La Liga season. The Spanish club finished 14th in the previous season but are currently in a fine run during pre-season, winning three of their last four matches, including a 1-0 victory over Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.
In contrast, Union Berlin have been Bundesliga regulars, competing in Germany's top tier for the seventh successive season. They returned to the Bundesliga for the 2019-20 season and have finished 5th and 4th in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, respectively. However, they have had a less positive momentum recently, suffering back-to-back losses for the first time since March, including a 1-0 defeat to third-tier side FC Schweinfurt.
The predicted outcome for this friendly is that Espanyol hold an advantage based on their recent form. This match provides an opportunity for both teams to establish early dominance, but given Espanyol's better results in pre-season friendlies and competitive matches, they seem more likely to have the edge in this encounter.
After their match against Union Berlin, Espanyol will play against Newcastle United on August 8, and host Atletico Madrid in their La Liga opener on August 18. Union Berlin will visit Gutersloh for a DFB Pokal tie five days later, and host Olympiakos Piraeus in their final warm-up game on August 9.
The match between Union Berlin and Espanyol will kick off at 7:00pm IST. For those interested in watching the game, it will be live streamed on Bet365. In Spain, the match can be watched on Movistar+, 3Cat, and Esport3.
This pre-season friendly promises to be an exciting encounter between two well-established clubs, as they look to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the new season. Fans of both teams will be eagerly anticipating the first-ever meeting between Union Berlin and Espanyol.
