Union Berlin vs Hoffenheim Live Stats & Betting Odds
Union Berlin Prediction – Can Union Berlin win five on trot at home?
Mid-table Union Berlin have carved out some decent results in recent weeks as the hosts have gained wins over Hertha Berlin, Mainz, Borussia Moenchengladbach and Cologne as well as grabbing a point in Saturday’s draw away from home at Paderborn.
Union Berlin have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 6 matches overall in the Bundesliga which was a 2-1 defeat away at 4th placed Schalke but the recent aforementioned wins have helped lift Union Berlin away from immediate relegation danger and up into 10th place in the German top flight.
The hosts have also improved upon what was previously a poor home record as they’ve captured four wins on the trot on home turf at their Stadion An der Alten Försterei with wins against Freiburg, Hertha Berlin, ‘Gladbach and Cologne amidst a record which now stands at 5-0-3 12/9.
Union Berlin have scored in 7 of their 8 home matches to date and with the likes of forwards Andersson (8 goals) and Ingvartsen (3 goals) up front, they’ll be confident of scoring again tonight.
Hoffenheim Prediction – Can Hoffenheim put a stop to poor sequence?
Despite sitting one league position and 1 point above their Tuesday night’s hosts, Union Berlin, Hoffenheim head into this clash at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei on the back of some ordinary and poor results in the Bundesliga.
Hoffenheim have lost 3 of their last 4 matches overall in the German top flight having suffered defeats to Mainz 5-1, RB Leipzig 3-1 and a 4-2 loss to Augsburg while being held to a disappointing 1-1 draw at home by lowly Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Prior to this alarming slump in form, Hoffenheim had recorded 5 wins on the trot in the Bundesliga, so their current string of poor results is a little puzzling, but at least goals have featured on a regular basis.
Hoffenheim’s last 5 matches overall have seen both teams score while away from home, the visitors possess an average looking away record of 3-2-2 9/9 but does consist of goals scored by both teams with 5 of Hoffenheim’s 7 away matches seeing both teams score.
