Union Berlin vs Darmstadt Prediction & Betting Tips (28 January)

Author of a completely accomplished last season, Union Berlin was able to secure the first ticket in its history for a Champions League. But the dream quickly turned into a nightmare for the players from the capital who only made an express stint in C1 and who collected defeats in the championship to the point of occupying, for several weeks, a place in the red zone . A little better since last month, the Iron Men have only lost once in the last 5 days. It was against Bochum, before Christmas, 3-0.

But subsequently, the Berliners resumed their march forward by winning against Cologne 2-0 then taking a point from Friborg 0-0. Last week their scheduled match against Mainz was postponed and they narrowly lost this week to Bayern Munich 1-0 in a late encounter.

A priori, the defender Doeckhi, the precious left side Gosens (4 goals) and the midfielder Khedira will still have to be patient in the infirmary. Eliminated from the CAN with Tunisia this week, the starting midfielder Laïdouni is hoped for. Conversely, striker Behrens (4 goals) and former ASM Kevin Volland (2 goals) are available, as are defender Vogt (Hoffenheim) and French striker Bedia (Servette) who were enlisted this winter. In the opposite direction, the Ivorian striker Fofana (Chelsea, return from loan), the aging Bonucci (Fenerbahce) and the striker who became a substitute Becker (Real Sociedad) left the club. Author of a bad gesture against Leroy Sané at the end of the match this week, coach Nenad Bjelica will be suspended for the next three matches.

Important midfielder Mehlem and striker Manu will still have to remain in care and they will not make the trip to the capital. Midfielder Hornby and striker Seydel complete the list of absentees while midfielder Honsak is expected after missing last week's match. Despite his team's difficulties, striker Skarke remains one of the satisfactions of the first part of the season with 6 goals scored in the league. During the winter, replacements Ronstadt and Stojilkovic were both sent on loan to Kaiserslautern.
