Union Berlin vs Holstein Kiel Prediction
After the hammering they took at Signal Iduna Park, Union Berlin have been gifted the ideal fixture in which to bounce back immediately. Holstein Kiel sit bottom of the Bundesliga with three wins and 16 defeats from 23 league games so far and relegation down to 2. Bundesliga is looking increasingly likely by each passing match.
Union Berlin have the personnel to boss this contest and with home advantage in their favour, should be able to carve out plenty of opportunities. The hosts are a stronger team with better individual players and the expectation is that they will pick up the three points in front of their own fans.
