Union Berlin are having a rough stretch. They have lost several of their recent games, including a couple of heavy defeats, and have only managed one win along with a draw. Hamburger SV have been up and down too, mixing wins with losses, so neither team comes into this one looking especially strong. Their recent meetings have been tight, with one game ending 3-2 and the other finishing 0-0, so it's not clear that goals will flow freely.

Overall, this looks like a close match between two sides that are both struggling for consistency. Given how shaky Union Berlin have been, Hamburger SV seem slightly better placed to come away with the result, but a draw is very much in play too.
