Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Freiburg, Union Berlin will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Hoffenheim in the German capital. Union Berlin are enjoying a very successful season, with the team sitting in seventh position in the standings, only three points behind the Europa League berth. However, the game against Hoffenheim, who impressed in their last league match, will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
Die Kraichgauer rolled over Werder Bremen 4-0 at the weekend, with the team putting an end to their three-game winless run in the national championship. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Experienced defender Kevin Vogt returns from suspension for the visitors.
