THE LOWDOWN
UNION BERLIN
Although Union Berlin managed to arrest their three-match losing run last time out, their winless streak remains after they drew 0-0 away at Borussia Monchengladbach. However, Bochum can leapfrog them should the hosts lose out in this contest, so the pressure is firmly on Union, who have found themselves firmly dragged back into the relegation dogfight.
BOCHUM
Bochum are coming off the back of an utterly priceless 3-2 triumph over Hoffenheim which moved them above Mainz and out of the bottom three for now. An excellent first-half showing saw them take a 2-0 lead, which they increased to 3-0 in the second-half. Despite a Hoffenheim rally, Heiko Butscher’s men hung on for a seismic victory and could launch a platform to eventual Bundesliga survival.

THE PREDICTION
With both these teams currently level on points and knowing that failing to win here could see them taken over by Mainz later in the day, the stakes are extremely high in this game. But it may be the case that neither possess the quality to gain that crucial result here, with a turgid encounter potentially on the cards. With that in mind, backing the draw should be seriously considered.
TIP: DRAW
