Union Berlin

Current form
Union had been on a winless streak since October last year. However, in the last round, the Iron Man managed to break the losing streak, beating Mainz on their home field (2:1). True, this victory cannot be called confident, the opponent had a huge advantage in ball possession (67%), but the Berliners' defense was at its best this time. With 20 points, Union is currently in 13th place in the table and is three points ahead of its current opponent. It should be noted that the team plays poorly away from home, has managed to win only once since the beginning of the season, and has only five points scored in other arenas.

Stein and Pretain are injured and will not play today. The appearance of Rennow and Vogt is in doubt.

The opponents are located on neighboring lines in the tournament table and, in general, they do not have a special advantage over each other. St. Pauli plays poorly at home - only one victory since the beginning of the season. Union does not perform well away from home, where they managed to win only once. We think that the probability of a peaceful outcome is high; in general, a draw will suit the opponents in many ways.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.10
Bet on total
Both teams rely on reliable defense in their game. In the first round head-to-head match, Union won at home with a minimum score of 1:0. We expect that today there will not be more than two goals scored, given the opponents' style of play and their tactical schemes.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.64
Bet on corners
It should be noted that Union has had at least four corners in 11 of its last 12 away games. It is unlikely that the visitors will have a lower figure today, given that the hosts do not like to play first.
