Union BerlinvsWerder Bremen

Union Berlin's Current Form and Challenges

Union Berlin, currently positioned 13th in the Bundesliga table, has been experiencing a turbulent phase. With only one victory in their last six matches, their form has been inconsistent. Their recent win against FSV Mainz was a much-needed boost, but the team has struggled to maintain momentum. Union Berlin has scored 36 goals in 29 matches, averaging 1.24 goals per game, and has managed only seven clean sheets this season. The team's inconsistency is further highlighted by their record of both teams scoring in 51.7% of their games.

Werder Bremen's Mixed Start to 2025

Werder Bremen, on the other hand, has had a mixed start to the year. Despite a winless streak extending to seven games, they have shown resilience, notably in their 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund. Injuries have been a concern for Werder Bremen, with key players like Felix Agu and Keke Topp sidelined. However, the return of Marvin Ducksch and Justin Njinmah to full training is a positive development. Statistically, Werder Bremen sits 9th in the Bundesliga, with 31 goals scored and 34 conceded, averaging 2.03 goals per game.

Head-to-Head Analysis

Historically, Union Berlin has had the upper hand in recent encounters against Werder Bremen, winning three of the last five meetings. However, Werder Bremen's recent form, including a four-match winning streak in the Bundesliga, suggests they are a formidable opponent. The last meeting between these teams saw Werder Bremen emerge victorious with a 3-0 win. Notably, Werder Bremen has a better away performance, having won three consecutive away matches.

Prediction and Conclusion

Given the current form and historical data, this match is likely to be closely contested. Union Berlin's home advantage and their recent victory against Mainz provide a slight edge, but Werder Bremen's resilience and recent away form cannot be overlooked. The statistical likelihood of both teams scoring is high, given their respective scoring patterns. Therefore, a draw with both teams scoring seems the most probable outcome. The projected odds for this outcome reflect the balanced nature of this encounter.
