Union Berlin

Union Berlin is playing more offensively this season, and all four of their games have involved many goals. They won twice and lost twice in four Bundesliga matches, most recently beating Eintracht Frankfurt 3-4 away last weekend.

An incredible fact is that all of Union Berlin’s last seven Bundesliga matches ended with three or more goals scored, and they also conceded 3+ goals in each of their last three games.

Striker Oliver Burke became the first-ever Scottish player to score a hat-trick in the Bundesliga last weekend. He was impressive and will surely be in the attack in this match, although he trained individually in some sessions over the week.

Coach Steffen Baumgart will not be on the bench as he received a red card for making an obscene gesture and kicking balls at the sidelines last week.

Hamburger SV

Hamburger SV got the monkey off their back last week, with their first Bundesliga victory, 2-1 against Heidenheim. Before that, they lost twice and drew once, so now they are relieved.

However, Hamburger SV are still one of the weakest sides. Putting aside last week’s victory, they failed to score a single goal in their first three winless matches. They still have some important players out injured, and some suspended for internal indiscipline.

The last time Hamburger SV faced Union Berlin was in 2.Bundesliga season 2018/19, drawing in Hamburger and losing in Berlin.

The Betting Verdict

Union Berlin impressed more so far, plus their last week’s high-scoring win over Eintracht Frankfurt and Burke’s hat-trick should further boost their confidence.

Hamburger SV is still searching for their form and are without some players, so I believe Union Berlin can win this home game at good odds.

Union Berlin 2-1 Hamburger SV
