Bochum vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting tips
Bochum – Union, both clubs have spent the ascent before the season as a goal. While the VfL Bochum but long had to say goodbye to it and is now in a relegation battle, mixes the 1st FC Union Berlin already above, is due to lack of consistency but recently fell back to fourth place.
17 clubs have met each other so far. With nine victories, the 1. FC Union has the slightly better record in two draws and six Bochum successes. In Bochum, four home wins in two draws and two failures speak for the VfL.
Bochum :
Under the coach Ismail Atalan, who came only two weeks before the first matchday, VfL Bochum made a mixed start with seven points from the first five games. After only three more counters have been added to the following four matches in three defeats, Atalan had to go again. Although Jens Rasiejewski, who had been an interim coach until winter, managed a 2-0 win against SV Sandhausen, he has not won yet. At Eintracht Braunschweig (0: 1) and in the DFB Cup at SC Paderborn (0: 2), this success was followed by two defeats and since then there have been four draws in a row. After scoreless draw against Fortuna Dusseldorf and 1 FC Kaiserslautern it was enough at home against SpVgg Greuther Fürth just as to a 1: 1 as last weekend at Erzgebirge Aue.
While Thomas Eisfeld and Timo Perthel continue to fail, Luke Hemmerich and Maxim Leitsch could return to the squad. A question mark stands behind Anthony Losilla, who was beaten at Aue. Keeper Manuel Riemann is missing due to a broken hamstring.
Probable lineup: Dornebusch – Gyamerah, Hoogland, Bastians – Celozzi, Stoeger, Janelt, Danilo – Sam, Kruse – Hinterseer
Union Berlin:
The 1 FC Union Berlin has made a good start, after six points from the first two games and a 2-1 victory in the DFB Cup at 1 FC Saarbrücken but not five times in succession won. Only three draws come in this phase, but this is a winning streak with four wins against 1. FC Kaiserslautern (5-0), Erzgebirge Aue (2-0), SSV Jahn Regensburg (2-0) and against SpVgg Greuther Fürth (3: 1) joined. With a 1: 4 in the DFB Cup at Bayer Leverkusen this series came to an end, but initially gave Union with four points from the two games at MSV Duisburg (1-1) and against FC St. Pauli (1-0) yet a good answer. Most recently, however, Union weakened, primarily because of a huge vulnerability on the defensive. After a 3: 4 defeat at 1 FC Heidenheim last weekend had to be happy about having saved in the last second, a 3: 3 against SV Darmstadt 98.
In the absence of missing Michael Parensen, Kenny Redondo and Fabian Schönheim coach Jens Keller should not change too much. The surprisingly substitute captain Felix Kroos against Darmstadt could start again.
Probable lineup: Busk – Trimmel, Leistner, Torrejon, Pedersen – Prömel, Kroos – Gogia, Hartel, Hedlund – Polter
