Game Prediction
In the 31st round of the German Bundesliga 1, a match between Bochum and Union Berlin will take place on April 27, 2025. The former are practically relegated, while the latter have secured their spot for the next season but will aim to please their fans with a positive result.
Our Prediction for the Bochum vs Union Berlin Match
Last season, the teams competed head-to-head until the end. Both amassed 33 points, but the club from the capital had better tiebreakers, which allowed them to claim a safe fifteenth place. Still, their less fortunate opponent also managed to remain in the top division. In the play-offs, there were 0-3 and 3-0 results against Fortuna, with a successful penalty shootout in Düsseldorf deciding everything.
However, as it turned out, relegation to Bundesliga 2 was merely postponed for a year. Bochum are now clear outsiders, with dismal statistics. Nevertheless, the presence of Heidenheim and Holstein keeps their situation from being entirely hopeless. Even so, in the last round against Werder, they again failed to secure at least a draw. With such "competition," Union Berlin can feel completely at ease. They've already collected more points than over the whole of last season. It is also noteworthy that they are on a pleasant unbeaten streak, during which they took points from Bayern and Bayer! And in the previous round, they had a 4-4 draw with Stuttgart.
Boadu and his teammates have scored only 0.93 goals per match in the Bundesliga this season. This isn’t the worst record, but a porous defense, conceding 2.1 per game, negates any progress. The capital club, with even better away statistics (1.03), clearly performs better defensively at home (1.43).
