A Sports Betting Preview by Niko

Koln v Union Berlin
Football; Germany: Bundesliga
Rhein Energie Stadion – Koln
Saturday, 20th December 2025 - kickoff 15:30 CET

Koln

After a promising Bundesliga start to the season, Koln are now five games winless in the Bundesliga, picking up only two points from that run.

Last week’s 2-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen extended their winless streak, and their attack has struggled to break through, with under 2.5 goals in three consecutive games.

Despite these struggles, a home win would be a perfect way to end the year, and the Billy Goats are motivated to send fans into the winter break on a high, jumping over Union Berlin in the upper half of the table.

Union Berlin

Union Berlin have been impressive against strong opposition, taking more than half of their points this season from the top seven Bundesliga sides.

Last weekend’s 3-1 win over RB Leipzig continued their fine form, following victories against VfB Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt. They were also the first side to hold Bayern Munich to a draw this season after their opponents won 16 in a row.

Union Berlin have also scored in every recent match, with over 2.5 goals in their last three games, showing their attacking strength.

The Betting Verdict

Koln have home advantage and are highly motivated to finish the year positively, which could help them contain Union Berlin’s attacking threat.

I lean slightly toward Koln to win, and the odds for the home win look pretty decent.

The Pick :

Koln 1-0 Union Berlin
