Union Berlin vs Werder Bremen Prediction: A low scoring game on the agenda

Day 26 of 2023/2024 Bundesliga action sees Union Berlin welcome Werder Bremen to the Stadion An der Alten Försterei in the capital (Berlin) on 16th March 2024 at 17:30 (GMT+3). When Werder Bremen visits Union Berlin on Saturday, they'll be hoping to keep their Bundesliga standings from becoming any worse as there are three team all on 25 points. It should be an entertaining Bundesliga match for the neutral fans. 

Werder Bremen seek to salvage something from their 2-1 loss to Hoffenheim, and a victory versus Union Berlin will keep them in the running for the Europa League. The team from the capital has had difficulty scoring goals this season, only managing 23 goals. This is the third-worst attacking record in the Bundesliga.

Union Berlin's four-game undefeated streak in the Bundesliga came to an end at home against Borussia Dortmund, a depressing but understandable 2-0 loss that has left them hovering just above the relegation zone.

While wins over teams like Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim helped the visitors pick up points in their 1-1 and 2-2 draws with Mainz and Heidenheim, respectively, the visitors' overall record has been rather uneven, even though they have only lost four of their previous 13 league games in the top flight of the country.

Union Berlin had a great start to the season with back-to-back 4-1 victories over Mainz and Darmstadt, which at the time seemed to hold a lot of promise. However, after that, Sebastian Hoeness' team suffered nine straight defeats, including a crushing 3-0 loss at home to Stuttgart in the earlier corresponding fixture towards the end of October.

To make matters worse, Union Berlin is still having trouble winning away from home. In their 12 road games thus far, the visitors have only scored two victories while suffering an equal number of defeats.

With thirty points, Werder Bremen is seven points outside the top six. This goal has been impeded by just picking up one point from their past two games, so Werder Bremen will be hoping to get things straightened up immediately. They fell 2-1 to Hoffenheim in their last game, even though they faced a team with 10 men for the last 17 minutes. After trailing 2-0 at the break, Skelly Alvero's goal in stoppage time proved to be little more than a consolation prize in that match. Werder Bremen has now only won one of their past. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in six of Werder Bremen's past ten league games.

Due to the accumulation of yellow cards, Olivier Deman is suspended for one game, and Marco Friedl, Niklas Stark, Amos Pieper, and Milos Veljkovic are still sidelined with injury.

Union Berlin is in great form and si the likely team to win this game. However, the game is expected to be low scoring. 

A scoreline of 1-0 or 2-0 is anticipated as we believe Union Berlin will win but the game will e low scoring.
