Team News

Union Berlin
Bochum
  • Barring late injuries Head Coach Nenad Bjelica has a full-strength squad at his disposal.
  • Patrick Osterhage and Christopher Antwi-Adjei are both available after suspension, but skipper Anthony Losilla is on the naughty step after picking up his 10th booking. Moritz-Broni Kwarteng has suffered a knee injury so will not play again this season.
  • Back up goalkeeper Michael Esser has a knee issue, while Mohammed Tolba has suffered an ACL injury. Niclas Thiede has a broken finger.

Prediction

  • A genuine six-pointer with just a single goal separating the two sides who sit just two points from the relegation play-off spot occupied by Mainz.
  • Bochum moved away from that relegation play-off place with a precious three points last Friday, while Union have had the most players sent off this season.
  • Union started the season in Champions League action, but have only gained three points after falling behind this season, the fewest in the Bundesliga.
  • Bochum have conceded ten penalties this season with 12 draws stunting any upward progress.
  • Bochum won the reverse fixture 3-0, but the capital-city side can claim revenge by the narrowest of margins.
