Bochum - Union Berlin betting tips and odds

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Union Berlin.

Most bookies see Union Berlin as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 2.00, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

When it comes to Bochum’s previous Bundesliga clash, things went the wrong way from the off. They were never the favourites to claim an away win (5.00) but it’s fair to say their fans did not expect to see them lose Stuttgart. They fell behind in the first half and the game was already settled.

Union Berlin’s previous outing was quite exciting. They snagged a 2:0 victory In a home game against Borussia Dortmund, who were considered somewhat stronger going in. The fact that they were in the lead already during half-time makes the triumph even more surprising.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

One way or another, Union Berlin’s recent outings can’t really be considered spectacular. The latest 5 of them ended with 2 or fewer goals on the final tally.

Bochum’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Michael Esser, Paul Grave, Takuma Asano, Konstantinos Stafylidis have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

If you want to get some value out of this match, you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. The best betting offers are found in the HT/FT market, specifically for a Draw/Away bet.
