VfL Bochum vs Union Berlin: Home advantage to be decisive again

Round 17 of the German Bundesliga will feature a match between Bochum and Union Berlin. Despite the home advantage and Bochum's good home statistics, the bookmakers are on the side of the capital team in this confrontation. 

Bochum form

Not a bad cycle for Bochum, 7 points in five games, and as a consequence, 12th place in the German Bundesliga standings. It’s also important that Bochum earned the lion's share of points, namely 14 out of 20, in home games. Overall, Bochum is 8th in the division in terms of home stats, and should they beat Union, Bochum could move up to sixth place by this indicator. Apart from that, the danger zone is only three points behind, which is a great impetus for the home team.

Union form

Union did not show their best at the group stage of the Conference League. On the other hand, no one expected much from the Berliners. After all, Fischer's team had by no means an easy group. In the Bundesliga, the Berliners are again fighting for a place in the top 6 and before round 17 starts, Union sits 8th and has the same number of points as Mainz located in the Conference League zone. That's surprisingly consistent for a club with a small budget. On the road, the Union has the 10th stats in the Bundesliga and only one win in seven games.

Injuries and suspensions

• Bochum: Asano, Blum, Weilandt, Decarli, Löwen, Zoller;
• Union: Busk, Dehl, Friedrich.
