THE PREDICTION

As we head into the Bundesliga winter break, this is a genuinely crucial encounter down at the bottom end of the table. Union Berlin begin the match day sitting just above the bottom three on goal difference with the team they sit level on points with being their upcoming opponents, Cologne, who currently occupy the relegation playoff place. Union’s performances had apparently improved but then they were hammered 3-0 by Bochum at the weekend. Cologne, again, had begun to improve until they were comfortably defeated by Freiburg by two goals to nil at the weekend. The two teams have combined for 25 goals this season and in a tense six-pointed, a low-scoring affair seems very likely.

TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
