Union Berlin to Win

Reason for tip

Union Berlin have won five of their last nine at home, while 20 of their 30 points this season have been picked up at Stadion An der Alten Försterei. Bochum are on a run of nine without a victory on the road, losing seven times.

Union Berlin 2-1

Reason for tip

Union Berlin have not kept a clean sheet in five at home, so are expected to concede, but have at least twice in four of their six home wins, including a 2-1 defeat of Werder Bremen. Bochum recently lost 2-1 on the road to Cologne, while they have conceded at least twice in six of their last eight away matches.

Union Berlin vs Bochum Predictions

  • Union Berlin have won five of their last nine games at home
  • Bochum have netted just 11 times in 15 away league fixtures
  • The visitors are also winless in nine on the road, losing seven

Can Union bounce back?

Union Berlin fans are beginning to panic. After their shock title challenge last season, the current campaign sees them enter the weekend only two points outside the bottom three and at risk of relegation.

If they are going to stay up, they need to get back to winning ways and sharpish, and Stadion An der Alten Försterei looks the place where they are most likely to do so.

The Iron Ones have won five of their last nine at home (with three defeats during that time to Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund), where they have also accumulated 20 of their 30 points.

Bochum up against it

That does not bode well for opponents Bochum, who have been hopeless on the road of late, losing seven of their last nine away league outings.

Indeed, only one Bundesliga team has scored fewer goals on their travels than the Blues’ measly 11, with that poor form contributing to them sitting below Union in the table on goal difference.

They do travel with some confidence, having beaten Hoffenheim at home last weekend, but the visitors have still only won one of their last nine in the league, losing six times.

I predict that Union Berlin will win this fixture, with 2-1 my correct score prediction.
