Union Berlin has been a team that mostly has been playing ins 2nd Bundesliga and the fact that they were leading the 1st Bundesliga for sometime it didn't mean anything for me,I was expecting them to go down further in the standings,I saw their going down since seeing their performance in Europa League where they lost against a team from Belgium,Royale Union and Belgium has somewhat a weaker league than the Bundesliga.
I would be very careful when placing a bet on Union Berlin despite them playing against Hoffenheim while Hoffenheim being down in the standings,the odds are already 2.10 for Union Berlin that is playing at home meaning it won't be that easy.
Unfortunately it's never too easy to predict a game no matter who plays who. This time it's even closer because you never know what Hoffenheim could do, just look at last year and while Bayern was bulldozing everyone they failed at Hoffenheim. Same could always happen, you never know because the inconsistent results cause the difference in the points.
This doesn't mean Hoffenheim is worse as a team just because they are lower in the points, some times they are better, but mostly they are worse, and that is why there is a question mark about if they will be better today or they will be worse. I am sensing UNion Berlin will win, just like everyone else, but it won't be easy.
