There's an insane top-four race going on in Germany right now; the third through fifth place teams are all tied on 45 points. Union Berlin are in that group ...
Berlin are a good side overall, but not the most prolific attack; this could be a great chance to get back on track in an important match. Beyond those two strikers, it’s quite the mixed bag; central midfielder Janik Haberer is actually second on the team in league goals, so that really tells you a good deal about the state of the attacking corps. Forced to take one of the three ends, I’ll tentatively stick with the home side to win, but would consider a double-chance in the other direction, as it’ll probably be good value. The Cinderella story is coming to a close for one of the most likable sides in recent history. Rounding out the core of a really nice defensive group is goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow. At home Berlin are narrowly favored with +135 odds, as compared to +210 for Frankfurt and +205 for the draw.
