Tipster’s Angle

This is expected to be an even contest as it has been seen in the previous head-to-head matches. Both the teams are in decent form and this match could go either way. But it is slightly tending towards Hoffenheim considering their form.

Tip: Hoffenheim Draw No Bet @ 1.80

Hoffenheim has won two head-to-head matches, while Union Berlin has just won one out of the last five head-to-head matches, and the other two ended in a draw. Hoffenheim managed to win one of the last two head-to-head matches hosted by Berlin. Hoffenheim has just lost one of the last ten matches that they have played across competitions, winning seven of those. Union Berlin on the other hand has won four matches, drawing two and losing four matches. Hoffenheim is coming into this fixture with an unbeaten streak of seven matches and is likely to keep their momentum. So, a Hoffenheim win with a draw no bet could be a safe bet at 1.80 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 1.56

In the last five head-to-head meetings between these two teams, a total of 16 goals have been scored. Three of the five games had both teams scoring. Apart from that, the last head-to-head match hosted by Union Berlin had both teams scoring. Berlin has seen both teams score in five of their previous ten encounters, while Hoffenheim has seen the same feat in seven of their last ten matchups. Both teams scored in the reverse fixture last season, and both teams scored in both fixtures this season. As a result, both teams are expected to score at the Dafabet sportsbook’s 1.56 odds.

Conclusion

Hoffenheim has crawled their way back into the competition and is in third place. They are more likely to finish in the top four given their current form. Union Berlin on the other hand will be looking to finish at least in the top six.
