Union Berlin get an immediate chance to take revenge on Koln within a week of their exit in the DFB Pokal when the sides meet on matchday eight of the Bundesliga campaign. This match on Sunday in Berlin between the 17th-placed ‘Iron Ones’ and the 12th-placed ‘Billy Goats’ could be a surprise low-scoring one, and our match prediction is under 2.5 goals.
With six points (W1, D3, L3), the Union are in the relegation zone, and only goal difference separates them from the teams in safety. Koln have eight points (W2, D2, L3) and are two points above their hosts in the race to avoid relegation.
The Union were thumped 5-0 away at Koln on Tuesday in the DFB Pokal, extending their winless run to three games (D2, L1). Both those draws have come in the league, away at Augsburg (1-1) last weekend and against Dortmund (0-0) one matchday before. In fact, the hosts have avoided defeat in three of their four home league games this season (W1, D2).
Koln’s cup win was welcome for the away side, as it came on the back of back-to-back games where they failed to score (D1, L1). Those results in the league underline their inconsistency, as Koln won only once across their last six league fixtures (D2, L3), with all those defeats coming on the road.
