Werder Bremen vs Union Berlin prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-12-20 14:30.
[p]Werder Bremen are closing out 2024 in style, with a 2-0 win away at St Pauli last time out their third successive victory âto nilâ across all competitions, lifting them into the top-half of the Bundesliga table. Ole Wernerâs men are now chasing a hat-trick of consecutive league wins without conceding for the first time since 2009 as they welcome Union Berlin.[/p]
[p]To underline the River Islandersâ progress, their 22 points is not only eight more than they held at the same stage last season, but also represents their best haul after 14 matches in the top-flight since 2011/12. Encouragingly then, thereâs still plenty of room for improvement as Bremen have emerged victorious from just one of their last six Bundesliga games on home soil (D3, L2).[/p]
[p]That indifferent record is something for Union Berlin to cling to at least, as their positive start to the campaign has been undone by a seven-match winless run in the league (D3, L4). Itâs their worst such run since their nightmare streak of ten without a win in the Autumn of 2023, yet fears of a repeat are increasing by the week as their cushion to the relegation zone continues to shrink.[/p]
[p]Seven points is their current buffer, although a four-match losing run on the road suggests that it wonât be that healthy over the Christmas break. They failed to score three times in that sequence, but in Bremen they are at least facing one of their favourite opponents, as Die Eisernen have won six of the eight top-flight H2Hs (L2) – only beating Cologne more often in the Bundesliga (seven).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Despite winning just one of his seven personal H2Hs against Union (D1, L5), Bremen striker Marvin Ducksch has directly contributed to four goals in as many top-flight meetings (G1, A3), having a hand in all three goals Werder scored against Union last season. Robert Skov has been involved in goals in back-to-back Union matches (G1, A1), while he also assisted on this ground last season while representing Hoffenheim.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Union have netted a joint-league low four goals after half-time in the Bundesliga this season.[/p]
