THE PREDICTION

Bochum lie four points behind Union Berlin in the Bundesliga table, but will fancy their chances of significantly closing that gap when taking into account their recent away record of their opponents, whom they welcome to Vonovia Ruhrstadion. Union Berlin have gained just two points from their last four league matches away from home, with their worst result of the season coming last weekend, when they became the first Bundesliga side to be beaten by rock bottom Greuther Furth this campaign. In contrast, Bochum have won three of their last four home league matches, with the fourth ending in a respectable 1-1 draw against high flying Borussia Dortmund. When taking this into account, backing Bochum to come out on top has to be considered the smart play in this one.
