Bochum vs Union Berlin Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 27th April 2025

Mid-placed Union Berlin travel to Vonovia Ruhrstadion to face struggling Bochum in a round 31 game, which kicks-off on Sunday. The home side could do with a win to ease their trouble at the wrong end of the table.

The season has so far failed to deliver anything near what Bochum initially had their sights on. They will be hoping their upcoming clash against Union Berlin can ignite an upward trend.

Bochum only average a modest 1.1 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 11 goals. They also conceded 19 for an average of 1.9 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring one times.

Union Berlin scored 15 goals, conceded 16 and managed three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

It finished all square on when Bochum last faced Union Berlin. With both denying to back down, the scoreboard said 1-1 in the end. The best betting odds on a draw at full-time with the bookies are at 9/4.

Bochum vs Union Berlin Prediction

Bochum Form

Bochum have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 0-4 by VfB Stuttgart, before Augsburg ran out 1-2 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Werder Bremen, who came out 1-0 winners. Bochum just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Bundesliga matches at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion. They also drew zero and lost five of these six encounters, in which they scored four and conceded 11 goals.

Bochum are closer to the relegation zone than they would have wished for at this late stage of the season. They are still capable of pulling clear though and securing another season in the top flight.

Union Berlin Form

Union Berlin currently look solid after going three matches unbeaten. They laid the groundworks by beating Wolfsburg with a 1-0 scoreline, before settling for a draw in a 0-0 game against Bayer Leverkusen. Their latest match once again had them draw, this time 4-4 against VfB Stuttgart. Union Berlin won three of a possible six away matches in the Bundesliga, as well as playing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored eight while also conceding 11 times.

Though favourites for the win, we are uncertain the current form of Bochum backs this claim. We believe there is good value in Union Berlin, perhaps with the backing of the draw.

Bochum won nine points from their last seven encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won two, scored nine and let in nine goals. Union Berlin earned 13 points from their last eight games against teams placed in the bottom six of the Bundesliga table. They scored ten goals in those matches, but also allowed eight goals against on their way to four wins. Bochum claimed five wins, five draws as well as 20 defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Union Berlin have a record of nine wins, eight draws and 13 defeats in the Bundesliga.
