THE LOWDOWN

UNION BERLIN

Back-to-back one-goal wins for Union Berlin has seen them rise right up the Bundesliga table into 13th-place, putting crucial daylight between themselves and the bottom three. They backed up a hard-fought 1-0 triumph at home to Wolfsburg with another priceless three points, this time on the road away at Heidenheim. It’s now seven points from the last nine available to them ahead of Heidenheim’s visit to the German capital.

HEIDENHEIM

It’s been an unbelievable unbeaten streak that Heidenheim have been on but it finally came to an end last weekend against the toughest of opposition. Hosting Bundesliga table toppers Bayer Leverkusen, Heidenheim conceded right on the stroke at half time before a second goal with nine minutes remaining sealed the game for Xabi Alonso’s side. Heidenheim pulled one back but it proved to be in vain.

THE PREDICTION

So often we see a team coming off the back of having lost their long unbeaten run, struggle to get back into the groove and suffer an additional setback soon after. It would be no surprise if the same occurred in regards to Heidenheim. Away to a resurgent Union Berlin side on the back of consecutive league victories and with confidence at an extreme high, the smart play here is to back Union to claim a narrow third straight triumph.

TIP: UNION BERLIN TO WIN
