Union Berlin – Bochum : Preview & Prediction
In the last day of the Bundesliga, Union Berlin hosts Bochum. For the Iron Men, the end of the season is exciting. Indeed, they occupy the 6th place with 2 points ahead of Cologne 7th. In the Bundesliga, the dynamics are flamboyant for this team which has not lost in 7 games. After their elimination in the semi-final of the German Cup against Leipzig (2-1), the Berliners went on to beat the same team (2-1) a fortnight ago. After a frustrating draw against Greuther Fürth (1-1), the Berlin players beat Freiburg (1-4) last weekend.
For Bochum, this last game is not a big deal because they are currently in 12th place with a total of 42 points. The Bochum players are maintained in the Bundesliga after a rather positive and regular performance throughout the season. After two consecutive defeats, Bochum have come back to the forefront by beating Dortmund (3-4) and then Arminia Bielefeld (2-1) on the last day.
In the first leg, Union Berlin won 1-0.
Union Berlin have not lost a single game in their last 13 matches.
Bochum have won just two of their last eight away games.
Union Berlin have won all 5 of Bochum’s last five home games.
In this important match for Union Berlin we should see a one-sided game. Indeed, the home team has not yet validated everything because Cologne can still finish in 6th place. Union Berlin must win to qualify for the Europa League. If they lose and Cologne win, they will play in the Conference League. Therefore, we see the players of Berlin being very motivated from the beginning of the game to try to make the difference quickly against a team of Bochum which has nothing to play for in order to control the game and to support its superiority in the second half. That’s why we start on the Union Berlin score in both halves.
