Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner here, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Union Berlin and VfL Bochum will score 2 or more goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Nenad Bjelica or Thomas Letsch has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.33 equating to about a 76% probability.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Union Berlin are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 52% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.95.
