Union Berlin vs Bochum Predictions

• Union Berlin have kept clean sheets in three of their last four home games.
• Bochum have scored just once from open play in over ten hours of football.
• Bochum are winless in 12 of their 14 away league games this season.

The Iron Ones are on the comeback trail

After losing back-to-back games in the DFB-Pokal and the league, Union Berlin are desperate to get back to winning ways as they look to hold on to their coveted top-four spot. A first ever qualification for the Champions League remains within their grasp and continuing their solid run of home form will likely be key to their success.

Urs Fischer’s men have won their last two home games by a combined scoreline of 5-0 and have conceded just once across their last four games here. In fact, they’re one of just two Bundesliga sides yet to taste defeat in home league action along with the ten-time consecutive champions Bayern Munich, so that’s certainly some good company.

On the other hand, Bochum have done well to escape the relegation zone following their own resurgent run of form (W2, D1, L1), yet they will face a tough task here in the capital if they want to end this round in a position of relative safety.

Stick with the Iron Ones to shut Bochum out

Bochum have picked up more points in their last two away trips than they did in the opening 12 away rounds this season, yet they still cannot be trusted on their travels with just two road league wins across the entire campaign.

As such, we’re backing Union to win this game without reply, with a smaller stakes selection going the way of a rather comfortable 3-0 home win in the correct score market for the hosts to complete our selections for this encounter.
