Third-placed Union Berlin welcome Bochum to the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in the Bundesliga on Sunday (April 16).
Union suffered a setback in their title quest, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at second-placed Borussia Dortmund. Kevin Behrens equalised after Donyell Malen had opened the scoring in the first half, but Youssoufa Moukoko scored the decisive goal in the 79th minute.
Bochum, meanwhile, saw their three-game unbeaten run come to an end last week with a 3-2 home loss against Stuttgart. Philipp Hofmann and Kevin Stoger were on the scoresheet in the second half, but it was not enough.

Union Berlin vs VfL Bochum Prediction
Union have enjoyed an unbeaten run at home this season and are the favourites. They have won ten of their 12 home meetings against the visitors.
Bochum, meanwhile, have failed to score in three of their last six away games against Union. Defensive struggles have been a cause for concern for the visitors throughout the season, conceding 12 goals in their last five away games.
Home advantage has played a huge role for Berlin this season. Considering their impressive record at home against Bochum, they should eke out a narrow win without conceding.
Prediction: Berlin 1-0 Bochum

Union Berlin vs VfL Bochum Odds
We say: Union Berlin 2-0 VfL Bochum
Union Berlin will be determined not to allow a couple of defeats to two of the Bundesliga’s strongest teams potentially ruin their strong work throughout the season, and we expect a highly motivated performance from the hosts as a result.
Bochum have struggled to attain positive results on the road all season long and we do not expect Sunday’s trip to the capital to be any different, with Letsch’s side likely to be looking even more nervously over their shoulders given that Hertha Berlin and Schalke 04 face each other on Friday evening and will therefore close the gap one way or another.
