Hamburg vs Union Berlin Predictions

Hosts to edge mid-table meeting

Hamburg look the best bet when they host Union Berlin at Volksparkstadion on Saturday.

This is a mid-table clash, with Union Berlin ninth and Hamburg 11th. Both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season, with the visitors having won six of their 21 games and the hosts five.

The hosts have kept things tight at the back, with three clean sheets in Hamburg’s last four Bundesliga games.

Hamburg have gone six home games unbeaten in the Bundesliga, losing just one of their last nine on home soil. They have only lost one of their last six matches in the league.

Union Berlin have been struggling for results lately, failing to win any of their last three Bundesliga away games as they go six league games without recording a victory.

Their poor defence is a concern. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six Bundesliga games and have gone without a shutout in 13 of their last 16 league matches. Their last clean sheet was against Cologne in December.

There have been under 2.5 goals in ten of Hamburg’s 20 Bundesliga outings this season, and a narrow 1-0 win for the hosts looks the best correct-score option.
