Wolfsburg – Union Berlin : Preview & Prediction
On the 25th day of the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg hosts Union Berlin. The home side is doing better and this is reflected in the results. Indeed, the Wolves are in 12th place in the standings, 5 points ahead of the relegation zone. After a chaotic December and January, the team has finally recovered with a series of positive results. After their defeat against Leipzig (2-0), Wolfsburg won against Greuther Fürth (4-1) and Frankfurt (0-2) before losing with honours against Hoffenheim (1-2). Finally, last week, Wolfsburg took a very good point at Borussia Mönchengladbach (2-2) even if they can have regrets because they were leading (0-2).
Union Berlin are also doing better after a slump in February. Indeed, the Iron Men are in 7th place and are just outside the top 6 with only 3 points behind. After 3 defeats, the Berliners have started again by winning against Mainz (3-0) last week and then by beating St Pauli (2-1) on Tuesday to reach the semi-finals of the German Cup. This team needs to keep winning if they are to finish in the top six and compete on the European stage next season.
Union Berlin won the first leg 2-0.
Union Berlin have lost their last two Bundesliga games.
Berlin are playing in the German Cup on Tuesday and could be a little less physical than the home side.
Wolfsburg need to win to move away from the red zone.
The hosts have won their last two games against Union Berlin.
In this match, we should see a balanced match with Wolfsburg needing to win to move away from the red zone and Union Berlin looking for a top 6 finish to qualify for Europe. However, Union Berlin have shown weaknesses this season in the sequence of games (think of the negative results in the Europa League Conference earlier in the season) and they may well pay for their efforts on Tuesday in the German Cup. Wolfsburg could take advantage of this and win 3 crucial points for the rest of the season.
