With the race for European qualification spots getting tougher, Hoffenheim would be eager to get full points in this tricky game against Union Berlin. This Bundesliga matchday 22 will be played at the Rhine-Neckar Arena on Saturday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 8th in the standings with 27 points while the visitors are 15th with 21 points. Hoffenheim are five points behind sixth-placed Eintracht and need to improve their recent record to stay in that hunt. The hosts have drawn their last three league games, all scoring draws, against Heidenheim, Wolfsburg and Koln. That has extended their winless run to seven league games where they drew four and lost three. At home though, they are unbeaten in five matches winning once and drawing four.

Union Berlin start this round five points adrift of the bottom-three. Their relatively better position regarding the relegation trouble is largely due to their recent form. They have won 15 of their 21 points this season from their last ten league games. That included a 1-1 draw with Mainz and a 1-0 win over Wolfsburg recently. Despite all these improvements, away form remains a puzzle for the Berliners. They are without a win across their last ten away league games, drawing two and losing eight. In fact, scoring has been a problem for them, having failed to score in six of their last seven away league games although their history against Hoffenheim gives hope of beating those scoring woes.
