Union Berlin - Heidenheim predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Heidenheim are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Union Berlin should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Union Berlin, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Union Berlin went into their previous Bundesliga match as clear underdogs playing as visitors against Hoffenheim . The draw during half-time was surprising enough – but no-one saw their narrow 0:1 victory coming.

Heidenheim are coming on the back of an HT/FT defeat on home ground, which was not unexpected. Even at home, top online bookies priced their victory at impossibly long odds of 1.40. The final score came out as 1:2, which is admittedly not as bad as it could have been in such a one-sided ordeal.

With two consecutive matches with 1 goal or fewer, games in which Union Berlin play are not the best for Over markets.

These two squads already clashed this season, and Union Berlin narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 2.08 odds offer a decent return.
