Today's Predictions for Hoffenheim vs Union Berlin

Hoffenheim and Union Berlin need points for different reasons as they prepare to lock horns in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Read our top Hoffenheim vs Union Berlin predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Union Berlin Double Chance

Union Berlin took a giant leap toward securing a top four finish when they beat and leapfrog Freiburg last weekend (4-2) and the Iron Ones can consolidate their position in fourth win another positive result at Hoffenheim on Saturday. The hosts have lost three of their last four games, and they were turned over in each of their last two encounters with Union. Hoffenheim need points to aid their pursuit of survival, though chasing a result could play into Berlin’s hands and the first of our football predictions today recommends siding with the visitors in the generously-priced double chance market.

Both Teams to Score

Meetings between Hoffenheim and Union Berlin over the past few seasons have routinely been entertaining affairs and BTTS has landed in 100% of their last five skirmishes. It’s also worth noting that three of Hoffenheim’s last four Bundesliga games at the PreZero Arena have also featured goals at both ends, while Union’s record of just two clean sheets in 11 away league games, suggests they should concede again on Saturday. With more than enough to chew on here, backing BTTS is a fitting way to complete our Hoffenheim vs Union Berlin predictions.

Hoffenheim vs Union Berlin Team News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates, Hoffenheim vs Union Berlin lineups and team news for Saturday’s Bundesliga contest below.

Hoffenheim

Stanley Nsoki is suspended this weekend and cannot play, while Justin Che, Kevin Vogt, Dennis Geiger and Pavel Kaderabek are all out injured. Hoffenheim lost 2-1 at Wolfsburg in their last assignment and they are now just two points clear of the relegation playoff position.

Predicted Lineup for Hoffenheim: Baumann – Kabak, Brooks, Akpoguma – Bebou, Kramaric, Rudy, Promel, Angelino – Baumgartner, Dabbur

Union Berlin

Union Berlin have close to a clean bill of health in terms of injuries at present, though defender Diogo Leite is a doubt with a head injury. Union were three goals to the good by half time in their excellent 4-2 victory over Freiburg last weekend and they should have plenty of confidence to draw from following that performance.

Predicted Lineup for Union Berlin: Trapp – Tuta, Hasebe, Lenz – Buta, Rode, Sow, Knauff – Gotze, Kamada, Borre

Player to Watch – Sheraldo Becker

Sheraldo Becker had an afternoon to remember last Saturday when he played an integral role in Union Berlin’s thumping 4-2 win over Freiburg. The 28-year-old Dutchman made two goals and netted a brace himself to win the game for the Iron Ones, and Becker should be brimming with self-belief following his match-defining display.
