Union Berlin vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 08/02/2024, 09:30  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Predictions

Union Berlin will be back at home to welcome Wolfsburg for their next Bundesliga game on Saturday. Going into the match, Union Berlin are placed just above the relegation playoff spot while Wolfsburg are four places ahead, at 11th. A first ever appearance in the Champions League seems to have messed up Union Berlin’s season. They are more concerned about survival at the moment than matching last season’s achievement. Heading into this game Union Berlin have 18 points, just three above 16th placed Cologne in the relegation playoff position. A 1-1 draw with Mainz in their last game didn’t help much and Union will hope to leap with three points here. They have managed just a win in their last five league matches. Their biggest worry going into this game will be their struggles in attack, having failed to score in three of five matches. However, with three straight wins at home, Union Berlin can bank on this run.

Wolfsburg’s 2-1 win over Union Berlin in their last meeting marked two unbeaten outings against their hosts. They will be keen to extend that, though they aren’t in their best shape coming here. In five straight league matches, Wolfsburg have failed to win, drawing each of the last four, after a 2-1 home loss to Bayern Munich. In their last outing, Wolfsburg twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with Hoffenheim. Lovro Majer was impressive in the game, scoring both goals, one from the penalty spot. That was their second straight home game and they’ll hope for some reprieve away from home. However, one win in nine away matches doesn’t sound like a run Wolfsburg will want to look back to. While they are unbeaten in the last three away league matches, Wolfsburg have suffered six losses in nine away league games.
