Bochum vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting tips
Over 5,000 fans want to accompany Union Berlin on Sunday for the last away match of the season to Bochum. No wonder, after all, it could be so far after the game and the big dream of Köpenicker come true. The first promotion to the Bundesliga is possible, but is no longer in the hands of the Iron – at least not on Sunday. The Berlin relegation against VfB Stuttgart since last weekend (at least practically) sure, for second place and the associated direct rise would be a separate victory and a slip-up of SC Paderborn in Dresden needed. It’s all possible on the final day of the match, when all nine matches are played simultaneously at 15:30. In the match between Bochum and Union Berlin, the odds are very clearly distributed in favor of the guests. This seems logical, because the VfL only plays for the golden pineapple and the motivation and excitement of the Iron is likely to be higher.
However, the troop should be warned by Urs Fischer. The last team was Magdeburg in Bochum to guest and for the guests it was also in the relegation battle for everything. Bochum, however, showed fighting spirit and won 4-2, which was ultimately the beginning of the end for the promoted. Magdeburg rose last matchday final. However, Union has the much higher playful class. The referee of the game Bochum vs. Union Berlin, which is difficult to predict, is called Harem Osmers and comes from Hanover.
Bochum:
The 33rd league game in Liga 2 was scorching. But one of the nine games remained without a goal – the match between FC St. Pauli and VfL Bochum at Millerntor. The slight drop in tension in the duel of two clubs that have done a lot and achieved little, was clearly felt. Bochum already in the back and the Hamburg in the second half have lost their promotion dreams. When VfL tried the club management with the obligation of Simon Zoller in the winter break to give an impulse again, but he came too late. Robin Dutt’s team is in tenth place and will end the season in the gray midfield.
Especially at home, the performances have recently but hope that in the next season is more in it. Three of the past four home games have won the blue-white. Last there were against Fürth (3: 2) and Magdeburg (4: 2) even two real shooting festivals. In front of their own fans, the Dutt team still seems to be able to motivate, and so the home side will fight hard Union Berlin on Sunday. Personnel Robin Dutt defensive has to rebuild a little compared to the last few weeks. In central defense will probably once again play the only 17-year-old Armel Bella-Kotchap, who has used his parole opportunities so far. An offensive option is Tom Weilandt, who together with the Austrian Lukas Hinterseer could form the storm duo.
Union Berlin:
How does Urs Fischer handle the away game in Bochum? Of the last four appearances in foreign lands jumped for the Iron only meager two counters. This is a threesome on Sunday but actually mandatory. The coach from Switzerland was not so dissatisfied with the performances of his protégés. Like the last guest appearance at the Böllenfalltor in Darmstadt, the Berliners were often dominant and visually superior – but lacking in determination and cold-bloodedness in front of the goal. Back the league’s best defense allowed for minor goals, which led to a weak record. To correct the offensive problems, the storm duo Sebastian Polter and Sebastian Andersson might be an option that has worked well against Magdeburg lately. Abdullahi would also be ready for action from the beginning.
Also open is the role of Felix Kross, the midfield strategist. He could act as a defensive Abräumer as well as on the left wing as a source of ideas. However, he would also be valuable as a joker from the bank. Urs Fischer does not want to look at the cards before the most important game of the season. It is clear that the guests have to keep their nerves under control. The Berliners do not want to know the result from Dresden for as long as possible and concentrate on their own task. Nevertheless, it is true that between Bochum and Union Berlin a prognosis is partly influenced by the result of parallel play. For example, if Paderborn leads 3-0 in Dresden at halftime, the players of the Iron will surely notice that their promotion dream is at least postponed for now. Whether and what influence this can have on the game against the Ruhr will be shown.
