Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
After failing to win the previous five league matches, Union Berlin will look to give fans something to cheer about when they face Bochum on Sunday afternoon. Following three consecutive defeats, the capital club shared the spoils with Borussia M’gladbach at the weekend and, as a result, their Bundesliga status is in great danger. Hungary midfielder Andras Schafer is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Kevin Vogt, Jakob Busk and Jerome Roussillon remain in the treatment room.
Heiko Butscher’s troops, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Hoffenheim and they managed to get one in style (3-0), but beating Union Berlin at Stadion An der Alten Försterei is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to play out a draw in Sunday’s clash. Christopher Antwi-Adjei is back from suspension, whilst Anthony Losilla serves a one-game ban.
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.
