Bochum vs Union Berlin Prediction and Betting Tips | October 23, 2022

In a Bundesliga clash between two teams from opposite ends of the table, last-placed Bochum will entertain leaders Union Berlin at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Sunday (October 23).

The hosts have just one win this season and lost eight of their ten league games. They have just four points and are the only team in the German top flight with less than ten goals after as many games.

Bochum failed to build on their first win of the campaign and fell to a 4-1 away defeat against Stuttgart last time around. In the second round of the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday, they beat Elversberg 1-0, though.

Berlin, meanwhile, bounced back from their first league defeat of the season against Eintracht Frankfurt with consecutive wins. That includes a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund last week, thanks to Janik Haberer's first-half brace. Berlin were also involved in DFB-Pokal action, where they beat Heidenheim 2-0 in midweek.
