As part of the ninth round of the German Bundesliga, Union will host Cologne on November 1. The hosts cannot win three matches in a row, and the guests do not lose in two meetings in a row. Who can prolong their successful performances? You will find the answer in the betting tip. Which event should I choose for the bet?
Command Analysis
Union Berlin
Current form
Before the start of the season, the Union leadership strongly hoped that Mauro Lustrinelli would be able to restore the club to its former self-confidence and fight for European Cup places, but everything is exactly the opposite. After eight rounds played, the Berliners disintegrate in the relegation zone, having only six points in their piggy bank. The fans are a little reassured by the fact that the club is still in the red zone only in terms of additional indicators.
Disqualifications and injuries
Margrave and Nsoki are traumatized. Ilic will miss the match due to illness, and Udokhai will not appear on the field due to suspension.
Interesting betting trends
Union has scored only once in the last three matches.
We couldn't win in the last three games.
Approximate line–up: Rennow - Haberer, Van den Bosch, Querfeld, Rote – Schafer, Khedira – Chon, Ebisher, Burju – Skarke
FC Koeln
Current form
Cologne are two completely different teams at home and away. Rene Wagner's team has not lost for nine consecutive matches at home, while away they have failed to win four meetings in a row, and there have been defeats in three of them, and in most of the matches the Goats have conceded at least twice per meeting. Despite such disastrous away performances, bookmakers believe in Cologne, because they put them up as a small favorite.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ahe, Dallinga, Schiri, Rondic, Huebers, and Van den Berg will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
Cologne has not lost in the last two matches.
The dry away series lasts for two consecutive matches
Approximate line–up: Schwabe - Castro-Montes, Simpson–Pusey, Locoshvili, Sosa– Maina, Krauss, Johannesson, Moore -Bulter, S. El-Mala
There are several points that you should pay close attention to. Firstly, the two teams have a lot of injured players, which will not allow the teams to play to the limit of their capabilities. Secondly, starting from the very beginning of the season, the clubs' performance leaves much to be desired. Union has scored only six goals in seven matches played, while Cologne has eight goals. The two of them get 14 goals, which is less than 2.5 on average per match. Considering these two factors, we will make the main bet on the fact that the match will turn out to be grassroots.
Our total score is less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.29
Both teams are far from their ideal form. We believe that no one will force events in a face-to-face confrontation. The main thing for the clubs is to get at least some points so as not to aggravate their tournament position. The forces of the rivals are about equal at this time, so we'll make a second bet that we won't be able to identify the winner.
The second bet is a draw with a coefficient of 3.60
Betting on corners
Corner kicks are a risky element of the game, which opponents will try to avoid in order not to create dangerous moments at their own goal. Therefore, we are unlikely to see many corners in this match.
The betting tip is a total of less than 8.5 corners with a coefficient of 1.78
