Game Preview
In the between Union Berlin and VfL Bochum, both teams will be looking to come back from recent losses. Last weekend, Borussia Dortmund put an end to Union Berlin’s outside chances of winning the title, and Stuttgart drew Bochum back into the relegation fight.
Although defeats to Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB-Pokal quarterfinals and Dortmund in the Bundesliga ended Union Berlin’s chances of winning the club’s first major trophy, Urs Fischer’s team can still secure a historic accomplishment in the form of Champions League qualification this season.
Even Fischer would admit that the past few weeks have been disappointing for both him and his team, with a Europa League round of 16 loss to their namesake Union SG last month coming as something of a shock given the disparity in caliber between the German and Belgian leagues.
As a result, the 57-year-old will be encouraging his team to be positive because they have once again exceeded expectations throughout this season despite having a budget that is far less than the majority of the teams in the table around them.

They don’t want to experience the same situation again next month after missing out on Champions League qualification by one point last year, especially with RB Leipzig and Freiburg hot on their heels either side of the top four’s dashed lines.
Bochum, however, is only barely above two entirely different dotted lines; as a result of last weekend’s 3-2 loss to Stuttgart at home, their rivals are now only three points behind them in the standings.
After taking over for Thomas Reis as Bochum’s manager last September, Thomas Letsch won his first five league home games. However, three losses in their last four games at Vonovia-Ruhrstadion have greatly impeded Die Unabsteigbaren from living up to their moniker by keeping them in the relegation zone.
Even though Letsch’s team had lost six of their first seven games of the season, they were always going to be in a tight race until the end of the season. This is true despite Letsch’s enormously good impact in his first few months as manager.
