MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: AWAY WIN

Regensburg are finding life in the second tier difficult and are yet to find a way into the games. They are on a bad run of four games with only one win, scoring only twice in these matches, and they lost 2-0 at Sandhausen last time out . With such a weak offensive performance they are not able to win matches, of course, and they have so far not been able to make use of their potential on the pitch. With only three wins in nine matches they sit in 14^th, just one point above the relegation zone.

Union Berlin have finally found a way to win matches. Following two wins in a row, including a 2-1 victory at Aue before the break, they have almost closed the gap to the top but they need to continue on that streak if they want to be considered potential promotion contenders. However, striker Sebastian Polter has definitely found his scoring touch and he impressed in the last two matches with four goals.

Union Berlin should be a level above Regensburg and are bound to take advantage of this. Away win.

SECOND PREDICTION: FIRST TEAM TO SCORE – UNION BERLIN

Union Berlin have a much better attack at their disposal and this will give them the advantage to find the net first as they have done in the last game against Kaiserslautern and Aue. Regensburg have conceded the first goal in all their four home games and this poor form is bound to continue here.

HEAD TO HEAD

This encounter has taken place only three times, with both teams winning each and registering one draw.
