Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
After failing to spoil Bayer Leverkusen’s party at BayArena, Heidenheim will look to return to winning ways in the Bundesliga when they take on Union Berlin on Saturday afternoon. The newcomers outplayed Werder Bremen 4-2 in their last home game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Union Berlin. Both Marnon Busch and Elidon Qenaj remain in the recovery room, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Hoffenheim. Considering that the visitors will go for a win in Saturday’s clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Kevin Volland is banned for the visiting team, while all Robin Knoche, Laurenz Dehl, Andras Schafer, and Rani Khedira are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Union Berlin):
Union Berlin are a German football club originally founded back in 1906. Die Eisernen play home games at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei which can hold up to 22,012 spectators. Union Berlin’s home kit is red, with the team wearing white shirts and white shorts on the travels.
Union Berlin finished the 1923 domestic campaign as runners-up, with the team suffering a 3-0 loss to Hamburger SV in the title game. Speaking of the club’s biggest success in the German Cup, die Eisernen made it to the final of the competition in the 2000/2001 season. Schalke, though, proved to be a big catch for Union Berlin in the decider, with Jorg Bohme scoring a brace for die Knappen (2-0).
Union Berlin will face their local rivals Hertha in the 2019/2020 Bundesliga season as they secured promotion to the German top flight, but Hansa Rostock are considered the club’s main rivals.
