Union Berlin vs Werder Bremen: match statistics
Union Berlin has a clear advantage in this match, especially when playing at home. The hosts have a goal difference of 0 in home matches, while Werder Bremen has a dramatic goal difference of -12 in away matches. Werder fails to score in 50% of away matches and loses as many as 67% of away games, making them one of the weakest away teams in the league. Union Berlin wins 33% of home games and draws 42%, which, given the visitors' poor form, gives them a real chance for three points. Although both teams have similar form in their last five matches (0.8 PPG), the home advantage and Werder's significantly better away efficiency argue in favor of a home win. xG statistics also indicate a balanced game, but the home factor could prove crucial.
