THE LOWDOWN
UNION BERLIN
Union Berlin will be without head coach Nenad Bjelica on the touchline for the visit of Darmstadt after he was sent off this past Wednesday night in their defeat away to Bayern Munich. Although they put up a good fight, they were eventually beaten 1-0, their first loss since December 16th of last year.
You have to go all the way back to early November for the last time that Union tasted defeat at home in the Bundesliga, that being against Eintracht Frankfurt, However, since that loss they have picked seven points from a possible nine on their own patch, which bodes well moving forward.
DARMSTADT
Although Darmstadt do sit bottom of the Bundesliga on 11 points as it stands, that is only on goal difference leading into this next round of Bundesliga fixtures and a win here, combined with other results going their way may well see them move out of the automatic relegation places.
But that will mean them needing to win a league fixture at the 12th time of asking. Since their victory over Augsburg in October, Darmstadt have lost seven and drawn four of their next 11 fixtures. It’s been a tough reality check for the newly promoted side, who will be in the relegation battle right up to the end of the season.

THE PREDICTION
Although they boast a stronger squad on paper, not to mention home advantage. The key for Union Berlin will be their fitness levels following a gruelling encounter in midweek which saw them endure plenty of chasing after ball against Bayern Munich. This may play into Darmstadt’s favour the longer this game goes on and Union begin to tire. With that in mind, utilise the safety of the draw no bet market to back a Union victory.
BETTING TIP: UNION BERLIN DRAW NO BET
