Union Berlin, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Borussia Dortmund will not have sat easily with the Union Berlin squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 36%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Borussia Dortmund, who had 15 shots on goal with 6 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Urs Fischer will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. When playing at home this season, Union Berlin has notched up a tally of 6 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 19 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Kevin Behrens has scored in each of Union Berlin's last 3 league games.
Bochum, Recent FormThe Bochum squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 home defeat against Stuttgart, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Stuttgart, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Thomas Letsch will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 23 of their 27 league games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 7 away games out of 14 this season, Letsch will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. The've not managed to settle at all away from home this season, losing 11 of their 14 league games on the road.
Erhan Mašović will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Union Berlin in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Bochum.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Bochum sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 2-1.
Union will be confident of finding the net in this one against Die Unabsteigbaren, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 19 encounters between the two sides.
Bochum will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 6 times they've visited Union in the league and not won this away fixture at The Stadion An der Alten Försterei for 6 games in a row.
Union manager Urs Fischer has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Timo Baumgartl (COVID-19), Jérôme Roussillon (Muscle) and András Schäfer (Foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thomas Letsch has a number of injury concerns in his Bochum squad to contend with: Cristian Gamboa (Lack of fitness), Marko Johansson (Muscle) and Manuel Riemann (Knock)
