Bochum vs Union Berlin prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-04-26 13:30.
[p]Sunday’s Bundesliga action gets underway at the Ruhrstadion as relegation-threatened Bochum seek to escape the bottom two in the final four rounds. Climbing out of the bottom three appears an insurmountable task after Bochum’s worst-ever top-flight campaign at this stage with just 20 points, although they can aim for a relegation play-off if they can end the league’s longest ongoing losing streak (L5). [/p]
[p]Never before have Bochum lost ten home games in a single Bundesliga campaign, yet that’s a fate that will befall them should they be beaten by Union Berlin here. They may just prove the perfect opposition for the hosts in that case, as against no other top-flight side can Bochum boast a longer unbeaten streak (W4, D1), including their controversial 2-0 win which was awarded retrospectively in the reverse. [/p]
[p]That was one of many hammer blows that Union have suffered this term, but they still look likely to improve on last season’s 15th-placed finish. With a 13-point gap to the bottom three ahead of the final four rounds, Union are assured of a seventh Bundesliga season and they should arrive with confidence as they possess the division’s longest ongoing unbeaten run pre-round.[/p]
[p]Playing against lowly opponents doesn’t necessarily equate to an easy time for Union, who’ve lost four of their eight matches against sides beginning the round below themselves (W4), with seven of those games seeing either side win without reply. Currently enjoying their longest unbeaten run of away league games since February 2023 (W2, D1), Union can secure their longest such streak in a single season since 2020/21 should they avoid defeat here. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Bochum full-back Felix Passlack has directly contributed to two goals in his last four appearances (G1, A1) while he’s also registered three assists in as many Bundesliga meetings with Union. Benedict Hollerbach has scored twice in three previous matches against Bochum (L3), and all seven of his scoring appearances this term saw him net Union’s opener. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Union boss Steffen Baumgart has failed to win any of his last four managerial H2Hs against Bochum (D3, L1). [/p]
