Union Berlin will have questions to answer this weekend, as they return to Bundesliga action looking to end a two-game losing run. Hoffenheim will be the visitors, as they chase a third straight victory.
Bundesliga Preview
It hasn’t been the best start to the season for Union Berlin, as they look to achieve a second straight finish in the Champions League spots. They come into this weekend after losing each of their previous two in the Bundesliga, and a response will be needed when they welcome Hoffenheim to the German capital.
Union suffered a second straight defeat in the league on Saturday, as they were beaten 2-1 on the road by Wolfsburg. The visitors were unfortunate in that fixture, as they dominated long periods of the game. However, they couldn’t find the back of the net despite being on top, evident from the fact that they ended the match having recorded 19 shots.
Hoffenheim should come into this fixture in good confidence, as they have recorded three wins from their opening four matches in the Bundesliga. A victory this weekend could take them to the top of the German standings for at least a few hours.
They come into this fixture after recording victories in each of their last three matches, with their most recent success coming on the road against FC Köln last Saturday. Andrej Kramaric opened the scoring after a minute, before further goals in the success were added either side of the half time break by Florian Grillitsch and Maximillan Beier.
Union Berlin vs Hoffenheim Head to Head
Hoffenheim picked up a 4-2 win in their previous match against Union Berlin. However, each of the previous three have been won by the side with home field advantage. That includes a run of two straight victories in this exact fixture for Union. Their most recent home win was a 3-1 success in January.
Union Berlin vs Hoffenheim Prediction
Union have an excellent home record in this fixture, and that could be challenging to overlook before making a wager this weekend. Therefore, we will be siding with the hosts landing maximum points. However, we could see both teams finding the net, just as they have in each of the last six clashes between these sides.
