Union Berlin vs Cologne Predictions

• Cologne’s last six Bundesliga games have all finished with under 2.5 goals
• Union Berlin have lost failed to score in five of their last seven league games
• No team have scored fewer goals than Cologne in the Bundesliga this season

The Iron Ones need to turn season around

Union Berlin secured Champions League football for the first time in their history last season but this term has been disastrous for them, losing ten of their 14 league games to sit just outside of the relegation zone.

They face the team one place below them, Cologne, on Wednesday in a match that looks set to be crucial in the battle to avoid the drop.

The visitors are struggling themselves, taking just ten points from their first 15 games of the campaign, and need to build on their recent 1-0 win over Darmstadt.

Cagey affair likely

With both of these teams struggling, particularly going forward, it’s hard to see a high-scoring clash when these two meet. The pair have netted just 25 goals between them in 29 Bundesliga games this season and they look likely to put on another low-scoring matchup.

The visitors’ last six matches have gone under 2.5 goals and a repeat of that looks likely in this one.

Given the struggles of both teams this season it’s hard to back either with any degree of confidence so correct score backers should side with a 1-1 draw.
