Union Berlin vs Hoffenheim Prediction

Union Berlin Form

In their last three matches, Union Berlin beat FC Guetersloh by 0-5 and VfB Stuttgart by 2-1, before losing against Borussia Dortmund by 3-0. Union Berlin claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Bundesliga. They also drew three and lost one, scored ten goals and conceded 11.

Hoffenheim Form

Hoffenheim won twice in their last three matches as Hansa Rostock were defeated by 0-4, before they beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-2. Eintracht Frankfurt proved too strong, though, and a 1-3 defeat followed. Hoffenheim only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by 14 goals to 11.
