Tip and bets

1.81both to score

Bochum are successful at home matches in the current season - not too long ago even Borussia barely managed to snatch one point at Vonovia Ruhrstadion. Hosts probably won't be too aggressive in the offense, so we don't think that the opponent will keep a clean sheet. Union are in a desperate need of points, so they will try to pick up three points today. We are expecting a goal exchange in this match.

Our prediction - both teams to score

1.8Handicap (0) on Union

In the previous round Bochum lost 0:2 to Arminia, so team's defense is far from perfect. Union dropped out of the European competitions zone and today they will try to get back there - The Iron Ones are looking better than the opponent, so they should be able to pick up three points.

Our second bet - Asian handicap (0) on Union
