Still holding on their unbeaten status, Union Berlin have a reason to fight when they host Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday. There are two points between these sides with Union starting the weekend ninth and Hoffenheim 14th. Read on for our prediction of this match.

Union Berlin won the last meeting between these two, and will be holding out for a second straight win. Playing at home and with an undefeated start, the hosts will approach this game high in confidence.

That will be heightened after holding Leipzig to a 0-0 draw. They’ve also upped their game defensively and arrive here having conceded just a goal in their four matches this season.

Three of those were in the Bundesliga, where they have just two goals. Such low-scoring returns have seen All of Union Berlin’s matches return under 2.5 goals.

Matches between these two sides don’t favor the visiting team but last season went against the grain. Hoffenheim won the corresponding fixture 2-0 but then lost 1-0 at home.

Those matches were also different in the sense that this game rarely produces less than three goals. Hoffenheim’s matches this season have yielded more of what this fixture is known for. The visitors haven't had it smooth and are looking to rise from two straight defeats.

After returning from the international break, Hoffenheim lost 4-1 at home to champions Bayer Leverkusen. Earlier they had suffered a 3-1 loss at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Hoffenheim have conceded at least twice in each of their four matches this season. They do not command a great away run, with just two wins in 13 away league games.
