Union Berlin desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 5 at 3:30 PM in the Bundesliga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Union Berlin come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 3L in last 4). Hamburger SV, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 4) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Union Berlin head into this on the back of a defeat, while Hamburger SV arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Union Berlin and Hamburger SV have split their 4 meetings almost evenly (1W–2D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Union Berlin won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Union Berlin win or a draw looks most likely.
