Union Berlin - Hoffenheim predictions

Though Union Berlin are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Union Berlin on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Having successfully kept their guard up both at the halftime mark and the end of the match, Union Berlin will be pretty satisfied with their last round’s result (0:0). An away draw as this one will be sure to motivate them this Saturday.

With a price of 1.46 on them winning at home, Hoffenheim’s previous game was a completely one-sided affair. They were already behind at halftime and ultimately lost 1:4 – a rather predictable outcome if Bundesliga betting tips and odds are to be believed.

Union Berlin’s past two matches only feature a goal or less each. As such, you may want to consider an Under 2.5 bet – or even Under 1.5, if you’re feeling confident.

Hoffenheim’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 9 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

Before committing to any betting predictions, we’ll have to mention the harsh defeat Union Berlin suffered last season. Hoffenheim walked away with an impressive victory on that occasion which directly defies the $ODDS home win odds offered by top online bookmakers.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Josip Juranović, Kevin Volland, Yannic Stein, Ivan Prtajin will have to sit this one out, while Hoffenheim will have to make do without Ihlas Bebou, Finn Ole Becker, Grischa Prömel, David Jurásek, Adam Hložek, Christopher Lenz.

An Over 3.5 Goals is the best option for this fixture, though it’s not perfect by any means. That said, the notable risk of failure is worth it due to the considerable betting value that can be found in the 2.25 odds.
