After a string of matches that included matches against Bayern Munich, Freiburg, Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen, and Stuttgart, Union Berlin is finally looking forward to a match that is less difficult to play. The team from the nation's capital has only managed to secure one point throughout this thread. They were defeated by Stuttgart by a score of 2-3 away from their home field last Friday, despite having a two-goal lead going into the game.
Following an encouraging beginning to the season, Union Berlin fell to the 12th spot in the Bundesliga standings due to their poor performance. They are now scheduled to play Bochum, who is in a terrible position, in front of the crowd at their home stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Last weekend, they were defeated by Werder Bremen at home by a score of 0-1; this was their eleventh loss of the season.In the first thirteen rounds of the campaign, the visitors are still the only team that has not yet won a single game.

Union Berlin will be quite dissatisfied with their latest defeat at the hands of Stuttgart, particularly after building a commanding 2-0 lead by the 48th minute, only to allow three goals in a devastating 18-minute span between the 51st and 69th minutes of the match.
The club has also struggled offensively, as seen by the fact that they have only scored three goals in their last six matches. As a result of their terrible run, they have not won over that time, and they have suffered five defeats.
Union Berlin's performance at home has been erratic and unpredictable. The previous three matches that they have played at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei have resulted in two draws and one loss for them. However, they have won all three of their first three matches played at home before that.
VfL Bochum
The disappointing defeat that Bochum suffered at the hands of Werder Bremen brings them into the match against Union Berlin. The defensive slip that they committed at a corner kick in the 56th minute proved to be costly, despite the fact that they had a higher open play xG, more shots, and more attempts on target than their opponent.
In their 14 matches in the Bundesliga this season, the visitors have not yet managed to secure a victory. They have suffered 12 losses and have managed to get only two draws. Both their offensive and defensive records are the poorest in the league, with only 10 goals scored and 34 goals allowed via their defence.
Expert Betting Tips
After playing in 13 games throughout this Bundesliga season, Bochum only managed to earn two points. They have the worst offensive and defensive record in the league, and their goal differential is 10-34. They also have the worst goal differential.
Union Berlin has only managed to accumulate one point over the course of the most recent five league rounds, but they have faced a significantly more challenging schedule along the road.
Hence, I think that Union Berlin will win this game but under 2.5 goals anticipated.
