Hoffenheim - Union Berlin predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.08, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

Union Berlin will have little to hope for in this match. 3.64 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

Hoffenheim were stunned in the last Bundesliga round when they failed to justify the betting odds which painted them as clear favourites to earn three points (1.80). Instead, the hosts were kept at bay in both halves and were forces to settle for a draw.

Union Berlin confirmed the HT/FT market in the previous round with a narrow 1:0 victory. The pre-match betting odds for them winning were set at 3.34, which means it wasn’t the easiest of matchups either.

Hoffenheim have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

Union Berlin’s record shows zero concessions over their previous three home games. As such, Away winning to Nill seems like a solid option to consider.

Hoffenheim played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Saturday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.85. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
