Union Berlin vs Darmstadt Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 28th January 2024

Union Berlin will be hosting a Alte Foersterei encounter on Sunday when Darmstadt arrive for a test of their credentials.

Union Berlin are number 15 in the table on 14 points after 17 matches. Darmstadt rank as number 18 with 11 points after 18 matches played.

At their last meeting, Union Berlin earned three points against Darmstadt. No doubt, they expect to repeat this performance when they meet again this coming Sunday.

Union Berlin scored six goals, conceded 18 and fought their way to two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Darmstadt scored nine goals, conceded 24 and kept their opponents from scoring once in ten matches.

Their latest encounter in the Bundesliga was a belter of a game, which finished with a 1-4 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest this coming Sunday.

Union Berlin vs Darmstadt Prediction

Union Berlin Form

Union Berlin collected four points from their last three matches, starting with a 2-0 win against FC Koln. It was followed by a 0-0 draw with Freiburg and a 1-0 defeat against Bayern Munich. In their last six Bundesliga home matches, Union Berlin have two wins, while they've drawn one and lost three. They scored six and conceded ten goals.

Darmstadt Form

Darmstadt have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against Hoffenheim, they gained a point in a 3-3 draw, before coming up short against Borussia Dortmund, who ran out 0-3 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 2-2 with Eintracht Frankfurt. In their last six Bundesliga away matches, Darmstadt failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost three, scoring nine while also conceding 19 times.

Going forward, Union Berlin and Darmstadt are both in decent form, while at the same time being generous in defence. We are confident, both teams will find the back of the net this coming Sunday.

Union Berlin won nine points from their last five encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won three, scored ten and let in seven goals. Darmstadt earned four points from their last five games against teams placed in the bottom six of the Bundesliga table. They scored six goals in those matches, but also allowed nine goals against on their way to one wins. Union Berlin so far pulled off a record of four wins, two draws and 11 defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Darmstadt show off two wins, five draws and 11 defeats in the Bundesliga.
