Competitive Football Sunday 014 Bundesliga Union Berlin VS Darmstad
Start Time: 2024-01-28 22:30:00
Union Berlin lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in midweek and have failed to win two games since the winter break, and are currently only two points clear of the relegation zone, with a lot of pressure to relegate. Defensive performances have improved recently, but goals are still too few. Coach Bjelica clashed with Leroy Sane in the last round and he was unable to direct from the sidelines. Juranovic and Khedira are both out due to injury, but there is still some impact, and there may be some rotation.
Darmstadt held Eintracht Frankfurt to a 2-2 draw in the last round, but they did well and equalised at the last minute. The team has not won 11 games and is currently bottom with 11 points, but it only takes one win to overtake the three teams and not completely fall behind. The strength of the team is indeed limited, and the home and away performances are relatively poor. Seidl, Hornby, Manu, Merham, Magrika, Huunsack and others continue to be absent, and the impact is great, and new signings Jaswan and Holtman are expected to play.
A 4-1 win away to Union Berlin in the first leg of this season was also a rare victory, and today's game is important for both sides in the relegation situation. Union Berlin is back on the road and today is the most likely game to win, and for Darmstadt, the Devils will have to fend for themselves, and their defensive problems will be difficult to improve. This game is more optimistic about Union Berlin to win.
Match to win, predict the score 1:0 or 2:1.

Football Sunday 019 Bundesliga Borussia Dortmund vs Bochum
Start time: 2024-01-29 00:30:00
Borussia Dortmund have started the year with two straight wins and a clean sheet. Now that they have their first home game of 2024, it's clear they'll be going into home stadium with confidence. With seven goals and a clean sheet in all of them, it was Dort's best start since 2013.
This match against Bochum is actually also a small derby, a partial derby in the Ruhr area, although the two major clubs in this Ruhr derby are Dort and Schalke, for example, Bochum, Duisburg or Essen are also in the region, so these teams meet, which is also often called a mini-revival derby. In the 30th round of the 2022/23 season, Borussia Dortmund drew 1-1 with Bochum, who were in danger of relegation, missing out on a chance to lead Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga table, and finally failed to win their first title since 2011/12 due to a goal difference. So this derby, for Dort, is also a battle of revenge. Bochum are unbeaten since the New Year, losing just two of their last 10 Bundesliga matches and winning four. This is also enough to arouse Dot's vigilance.
After Sancho's return, Dort's attacking points have become significantly more and the attacking end has also been active. Sancho came to the aid on the bench in Borussia Dortmund's 3-0 win over Darmstadt in his first game since returning to the club. Sancho went straight into the starting line-up in last weekend's 4-0 win over Cologne and Dortmund's attack looked more cohesive, with Sancho involved in two goals in 100 minutes of play since returning to Dortmund from Manchester United's loan spell.
The knockout stages of the Champions League are just around the corner in February and Borussia Dort can now put all their focus on the German top flight. Bochum's top scorer Takuma Asano (five goals in 16 games) went to play in the Asian Cup, while defender Bernardo (one goal in 18 games) was also unavailable due to suspension.
This Dort is worth a fight, the lottery chooses to play the handicap game to win + draw, predicting the score 2:0 or 3:0.
