On Saturday afternoon, two teams in need of a change of luck, Union Berlin and Wolfsburg, go head-to-head at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in the Bundesliga.
Union sucked back towards the bottom threeThe team from the German capital have been sucked back towards the Bundesliga bottom three after a poor recent run of league results.
A 1-1 draw at fellow strugglers Mainz last time out means that the boys from Berlin have won just once in their previous five games in the German top flight.
Nenad Bjelica’s team is now just three points above 16th place Koln, who occupy the relegation play-off spot in the German top-flight.
Their recent league outings have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last six matches in the Bundesliga.
One positive for Union has been their recent home form in the Bundesliga, as they are unbeaten in the previous four league matches on home soil in the German top-flight, recording three straight league wins in front of their own fans.
Wolves on the hunt for a rare victoryThe visitors are currently on a five-game winless run in the Bundesliga but have drawn their previous four matches in the German top flight.
A 2-2 home draw with Hoffenheim last time out ended a run of low-scoring games for Wolfsburg, as their previous three Bundesliga matches had all produced under 2.5 goals.
The underwhelming recent run of form has seen Wolfsburg slip eight points adrift of the European spots in the Bundesliga.
Niko Kovac’s team is unbeaten in their last three away games in the German top flight, having drawn the previous two matches on their travels. One win in their last nine outings on the road in the Bundesliga is a disappointing record.
What am I backing?I am expecting this to be a relatively even, low-scoring game. With that in mind, the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
