Union Berlin vs TSG Hoffenheim Predictions

Go for goals in Berlin

Back over 3.5 goals in Saturday’s clash between Union Berlin and Hoffenheim at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei. Eighteen of Hoffenheim’s 34 Bundesliga matches last season produced four goals or more, and there could be goals again here.

Union Berlin’s record of ten wins, ten draws and 14 losses last season saw them finish two places above Hoffenheim, who ended the campaign with seven wins, 11 draws and 16 defeats.

Union Berlin have won the last three Bundesliga head-to-heads and were 2-1 winners over Stuttgart in their last home game. Hoffenheim are struggling to get wins, failing to win six of their last seven games, although they did beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 in their most recent away match.

Both teams have been struggling defensively. Union Berlin have failed to keep a clean sheet in 13 of their last 15 Bundesliga games, while Hoffenheim have gone nine games without a clean sheet in this fixture.

Seven of Hoffenheim’s last nine Bundesliga games have seen four goals or more, and nine of their 17 away matches last season ended with four goals or more.

There should be goals at both ends in this one, with 2-2 appealing as a correct-score pick. Both teams have scored in eight of Hoffenheim’s last ten Bundesliga matches.
