Union Berlin vs Bochum Prediction & Betting Tips (5 May)

Far from the level displayed in recent years when it was fighting for Europe, Union Berlin must on the contrary roll up its sleeves at the end of the season in order not to be relegated to the lower level. The players from the capital are in fact only in 14th place in the ranking with only 2 small points ahead of the play-off before the last 3 days which they are not approaching with full confidence. It must be said that the Iron Men lost 3 games in a row against Bayer Leverkusen 0-1, Augsburg 2-0 and Bayern Munich 1-5 before finally stopping this bad series by taking a point against Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-0 last week. Conversely, Bochum is well accustomed to the fight for maintenance and this 2023-2024 season is no exception to the rule for the visitors who are in 15th position in this Bundesliga, tied on points with their opponent of the day.

In tough conditions since mid-February, the VfL players had gone 8 matches without a single victory including 6 defeats before finally returning to success against Hoffenheim last week 3-2. A very important success which therefore allows them to keep 2 points ahead of the barrage, Mainz.

The Berliners still deplore a few absences at the end of the season. Indeed, replacement goalkeeper Busk and former Montpellier full-back Roussillon are still unable to hold their place this Sunday, joined on the flank by starting midfielder Vogt. On the other hand, left back Gosens, who has scored 6 goals this season, is available.

The German international is the top scorer for the 17th Bundesliga attack which has only scored 26 goals this year in the league.
