Union Berlin averages 1.4 goals per home game, with set-pieces forming a key part of their attacking arsenal. Their organized defense makes them tough to break down, but they concede when pressed high. Their physical approach frequently results in yellow cards, making over 4 cards a strong probability. They rely heavily on aerial duels and second balls, often forcing opponents into errors. This direct style creates numerous corners, particularly in tight matches. While Union Berlin is difficult to break down, they can struggle against teams that play at a high tempo, especially in wide areas. Their resilience at home makes them favorites, but they must guard against complacency.
Holstein Kiel
Holstein Kiel’s attacking approach yields 1.3 goals per away game, but their open style leaves them vulnerable at the back. Their quick, technical play often leads to multiple corners and bookings. They thrive on possession-based football, stretching opponents with width and quick interchanges. However, their defensive organization can be suspect, particularly when caught on the counter. This imbalance makes them prone to conceding, increasing the likelihood of BTTS. Kiel’s high-risk style makes them an entertaining side, but one that is vulnerable against physical, well-organized opponents.
