Union Berlin vs Bochum prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-12-13 14:30.
[p]Caught in mid-table obscurity, almost as close to the drop zone as the top-six, Union Berlin’s season could go either way. If recent form is anything to go by, then Union should be more concerned by looking over their shoulder, as the capital club are winless in six league outings (D2, L4) having lost their last three games, although all three defeats came by a one-goal margin. [/p]
[p]Starting their road to redemption against basement dwelling Bochum may not be the blessing it may seem, as Union have won none of the last four top-flight H2Hs (D1, L3). Despite that negative recent H2H record, playing at Stadion An der Alten Försterei could help them turn things around, as the only team to beat them in home league action this season were champions Bayer Leverkusen (W3, D2).[/p]
[p]Union’s problems pale into insignificance compared to those of Bochum, who are rooted to the foot of the table and without a win this season (D2, L11). Including the end of last season, they’re now winless in a joint-club record 15 Bundesliga games (D2, L13), but one huge omen is perhaps working in their favour here, and that’s in the fact that their last league win came on this ground in May (4-3). [/p]
[p]Incredibly, that’s Bochum’s only away win across their last 18 Bundesliga away games (D2, L15), with all seven of their road trips this season ending in defeat. Unsurprisingly, the 20 goals they conceded across those games is a league-high, and with ten of those goals coming after the hour mark, it’s evident that Bochum get worse as the game goes on. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Union’s Jeong Woo-yeong has scored both of his goals this season at home, with both serving as the second goal in the first half. Koji Miyoshi was the last player to score a Bundesliga goal for Bochum, but none of his last three club goals came in winning causes (D2, L1). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Union have scored a league-low one second-half home league goal this season.[/p]
