Union Berlin v Schalke 04 (19:30 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesUnion Berlin have had a hard start to the new Bundesliga season, hosting Eintracht Frankfurt in their first match which ended in a 3-3 thriller with Union coming back from 3-1 down to earn a point. The capital city side then had to travel to Bayer Leverkusen where they were on the receiving end of a 4-0 defeat.
Union have a new manager at the helm this season, having appointed Mauro Lustrinelli after Marie-Louise Eta helped them avoid relegation last season. Lustrinelli will be one to watch this season, after leaving Swiss Super League side Trun where he got them promoted from the second division in the 2024/25 season, and did the unthinkable last season winning them the league for the first time in their history. Union fans will be hoping for more than just survival this season.
Image source, Getty ImagesSchalke 04 have had a similar start to their opponents this week. They started their life back in the Bundesliga with a 3-0 defeat at Augsburg, but kept German champions Bayern Munich at bay with a 0-0 draw at home last week. The stalemate was the first time Bayern have failed to score in 59 competitive matches.
Schalke will be keen to get their first win of the season early on to keep them in the Bundesliga. The former German champions spent the last three seasons in the second division of German football before winning the league and securing football in the top flight once again. However, in recent history their returns to the Bundesliga have been short-lived, with them being relegated the season after promotion. A win on Friday night may see them on the right step to rewrite that history.

How did that not go in!
Aouchiche in plenty of space in the box but didn't have the power to simply tap it in.
They could easily be 0-2 up here.

Karaman again! He cuts in the inside with the ball and strikes it beautifully.
But it's just wide, Schalke are opening up the defence so easily here.
