Union Berlin<\/a> welcome Werder Bremen<\/a> to the capital in a Sunday afternoon clash that could have major implications at both ends of the Bundesliga<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Union are looking to put distance between themselves and the relegation fight, while Werder Bremen are desperate for points to climb out of the bottom three. Kick-off is at 16:30 on Sunday 8 March at the Stadion An der Alten F\u00f6rsterei, and with neither side able to find consistency this season, the outcome is far from straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Both Teams To Score – Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Paddy Power<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBoth sides have consistently generated high numbers of big chances (Union: 31; Werder: 35) but fail to convert a large proportion. Each has defensive vulnerabilities (Union 38 conceded, Werder 44) and 5 of the last 6 meetings have seen both teams score. The stats point to defensive lapses and open play at both ends.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Union Berlin to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/4 @ Betfair<\/a>
(44.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nUnion have taken 6 wins in the last 11 meetings and are superior at home. Werder\u2019s away form is patchy, and Union\u2019s threat from set pieces (126 corners, headed goals from midfield\/defence) could be decisive against a side that struggles to defend deliveries into the box.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
