Wolfsburg vs Union Berlin prediction: A low-scoring affair
Key Stats
- Wolfsburg have gone under 2.5 total goals in half of their last six games in all competitions.
- The away team failed to win any of the last 13 H2H meetings between Wolfsburg and Union Berlin.
- Wolfsburg are winless at home this season in the league in six matches.
Correct score prediction: Wolfsburg 1-1 Union Berlin
While Wolfsburg are in poor form this season and still winless at home in the Bundesliga, on top of which they're also dealing with many injuries, we can see them avoiding a defeat on Saturday.
After all, Union Berlin are hardly lighting the world on fire this season and we almost never see an away team win in H2H meetings between these two teams. So, a draw sounds like the most realistic outcome.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Wolfsburg slightly favoured to win
- HOME: 23/20 (2.15) – 46.50%
- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.40%
- AWAY: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.30%

Wolfsburg preview: Looking for important points
With just one win in their last 10 games across all competitions, Wolfsburg have clearly been struggling this season. In the Bundesliga, they sit just above the relegation zone with nine points from 12 games, so three points against Union Berlin could prove crucial come the end of the season.
That being said, Wolfsburg's poor form is partially impacted by the many injuries at the club. At the moment, Bence Dardai, Jonas Wind, Adam Daghim, Kilian Fischer, Moritz Jenz, Joakim Maehle, Marius Muller, Kevin Paredes, Rogerio, Jesper Lindstrom, and Vini Souza are all on their injury list.
Predicted lineup: Grabara (GK), Kumbedi, Seelt, Koulierakis, Zehnter, Arnold, Gerhardt, Majer, Eriksen, Wimmer & Amoura
Last five matches
- Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 Wolfsburg (Bundesliga)

Union Berlin preview: Hoping to reach the top half of the standings
While Union Berlin have lost twice in a row, the second loss came in the DFB Pokal and against Bayern Munich, who seem invincible this season. Overall, The Iron Ones are having a solid season with 15 points from 12 games in the Bundesliga, which is enough to put them near the middle of the standings.
Meanwhile, Rani Khedira will miss this match due to a ban, while Anrik Markgraf is out with an injury. Dmytro Bogdanov and Robert Skov are listed as questionable.
Predicted lineup: Ronnow (GK), Doekhi, Querfeld, Leite, Trimmel, Haberer, Kemlein, Rothe, Burke, Ilic & Ansah

Player to watch: Andrej Ilic
After proving himself last season while on loan at Union Berlin, when he scored 7 goals in 16 games, the 25-year-old Serbian forward signed with the team on a permanent deal this summer and while he is still waiting for his first goal of the season in the Bundesliga, he has contributed six assists so far.
