Union Berlin vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting tips
What Union Berlin is doing this season is almost unbelievable. Basically, the Eiserne were suspected of being deeply relegated to the Bundesliga in the second season, but at the moment Urs Fischer’s team is not only fighting for a place in the European Cup, but could possibly make the leap into the Champions League.
On Saturday, the Köpenickers meet with VfL Wolfsburg on a direct competitor and table neighbors. In the Bundesliga standings, both clubs currently have 24 points. The record of six wins, six draws and two defeats is identical for both teams. At least that sounds like a balanced duel at the Alte Försterei.
That also makes betting on this game extremely difficult. The best bookmakers do not give a specific forecast of the outcome of the match between Union Berlin and Wolfsburg. Overall, the quotes are relatively close together, which is why no favorite role can be derived from them.
It is exciting that the Eiserne have not lost a single game against a team from the top half of the table this season, neither against Bayern, Dortmund or any other top club. Since the wolves are also located in the upper area, this does not speak in the game between Union Berlin and Wolfsburg after a tip on a home bankruptcy.
Union Berlin :
The difficult second year in the Bundesliga after promotion does not exist at Union Berlin. On the contrary – a lot seems to be easier this year than last season. The Iron have scored the second most goals after Bayern. We will therefore only mention it again here. The Köpenickers don’t have to worry about staying up.
The Berliners play several tactical systems and are the most enthusiastic team in the league. Even without fans, Urs Fischer’s team is a force at home and has not lost any of the last six home games, even if their supposed top star Max Kruse was not there. Therefore, in the duel between Union Berlin and Wolfsburg, we would rather allude to the odds that have to do with a point win by the home side.
Last weekend the Berlin team showed a great game at Werder Bremen at the turn of the year. The game was actually decided after half an hour when Sheraldo Becker and Taiwo Awoniyi made the final 2-0. Awoniyi has scored in the last three games. It is certainly an option to bet on the attacker’s goal against Wolfsburg.
In terms of personnel, Union continues to have major problems on the offensive. With Max Kruse, Joel Pohjanpalo and Anthony Ujah, three attackers are still on the Bundesliga injured list. In addition, Grischa Prömel will have to pause a game after receiving his fifth yellow card. There are still question marks behind the two ex-wolves Robin Knoche and Christian Gentner.
Wolfsburg :
The Wolves got off to a strong start to the season and were undefeated for a long time. In the meantime you can still be satisfied with sixth place, but especially away from home there have been two defeats recently. Whereby you can definitely draw the short straw in Munich and Dortmund. However, after VfL celebrated nine away wins last season, there was only a three at Schalke this year.
The trend at VfL is therefore downwards. However, a win on Saturday would mean that they could take a big step towards international business and consolidate themselves in the top third of the table. Nevertheless, we wouldn’t go so far as to predict a victory for the guests in the game between Union Berlin and Wolfsburg.
Last weekend, Lower Saxony had to travel and lost 2-0 in Dortmund. For a long time, however, it was an encounter that Oliver Glasner’s team was able to design openly and had a good chance of going home with a draw. Only in the middle of the second half and then in stoppage time did BVB score the decisive goals.
In Berlin, VfL will continue to do without Maxence Lacroix, Pavao Pervan and Jerome Roussillon, who will be carefully built up after a positive test. Otherwise things are looking relatively good with the Wolves. There is only one question mark left behind Maximilian Philipp, who trained with the team again on Thursday. A starting set comes too early.
