Billy Goats for honours on the road
Union Berlin has found the going tough in recent weeks as they have fallen by the wayside. They are winless in their last three competitive fixtures and could only muster a 4-4 draw with Regionalliga Nordost outfit Luckenwalde. Meanwhile, Cologne continues to put up a brave fight for the UEFA competition qualifying slots. The Billy Goats earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund before the international break. They should have enough in the tank to get over the line against Union and add to their woes on the road.
The low scoring trend to continue
The reverse fixture finished all square with four goals on the night. However, much has changed since then. Neither Union nor Cologne can be relied upon to score with certainty. Both sides have scored four goals apiece in their last five outings and this trend will continue in this crunch encounter. With fine margins separating their bid for UEFA competitions placement, expect them to adopt a cautious approach. Moreover, Cologne's last five fixtures have concluded with Under 2.5 total goals and we expect for of the same from this encounter.
