Team News

Bochum
Union Berlin
  • Keven Schlotterbeck is available after suspension, while Ivan Ordets has been ruled out "indefinitely" following a thigh injury. Danilo Soares is struggling with a knee injury.
  • Rani Khedira is available after suspension, while Danilho Doekhi is struggling with an injury and remains a doubt.

Prediction

  • From one extreme to the other. From the dizzy heights of facing mighty Real Madrid in the Champions League, Union take on minnows Bochum.
  • Bochum have all week to prepare but have won only twice this season with the most draws in the league, seven, preventing any genuine momentum.
  • Union snapped a 16-game run without a win in all comps with a 3-1 win over Gladbach last weekend and gave a good account of themselves against Real in midweek.
  • Goals can be expected at both ends and go for a Union win at good odds.

  • Bochum won't be an easy opponent at home.
