Union Berlin Team News: Full-back issues

Bochum vs Union Berlin Prediction

When taking into account the form book, Bochum have their work cut out for them, having lost their last five games after having stunned Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. Union Berlin meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last six Bundesliga fixtures and are coming off the back of a thrilling 4-4 draw against Stuttgart.

Bochum’s penchant to concede goals should see Union afforded more attacking joy here, which may well lay the foundations to success from their point of view. However, a smart play would be backing both teams to score alongside an away win with Bochum expected to push bodies forward from very early on in their desperation to gain three points.
