Union Berlin vs Hamburg Prediction and Betting Tips | September 28th 2025

Union Berlin will host Hamburg at the An der alten Forsterei on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league this season, but remain hopeful of a mid-table finish as they sit 10th in the table with six points from four games.

They returned to winning ways last weekend with a clinical 4-3 away victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, featuring a stunning opening strike from Ilyas Ansah and a brilliant hat-trick from Oliver Burke.

Hamburg endured a perhaps expectedly slow start to life upon returning to the German top flight this season. They, however, picked up their first league win of the campaign last time out as they beat Heidenheim 2-1, with Tottenham Hotspur loanee Luka Vuskovic opening the scoring late in the first half before Rayan Philippe doubled their advantage in the second.

The visitors, who sit 15th in the Bundesliga standings, are just two points behind their weekend opponents and will leapfrog them with a win on Sunday.

Union Berlin vs Hamburg Prediction

Die Eisernen's latest result ended a run of back-to-back defeats, and they will take confidence from that this weekend. They will, however, need to improve on their defensive showings if they are to secure maximum points this weekend.

HSV will also head into Sunday's game on a high after securing their first win last time out. They have, however, won just one of their last five league games on the road and could lose here.

Prediction: Union Berlin 2-1 Hamburg
