After starting brilliantly in the Bundesliga this season and topping the table early on, Wolfsburg are winless in three straight games. Mark van Bommel’s team has now lost back-to-back games in the Bundesliga and are aiming to end that losing streak.
Union Berlin are up next for Wolfsburg in the league. The Irons are seventh in the league table. They are on a two-game winning streak in the Bundesliga. Twelve points have been taken from 21 points on offer this term.

Urs Fischer’s team is also playing in the Europa Conference League and the team has a great chance of going into the knockout stage. Union Berlin must now balance their league and Europa Conference League campaigns.
Wolfsburg took just 10 points from the last 18 on offer in the Bundesliga. They tallied a zero-goal difference with eight goals for and eight against. Union Berlin took 11 points from the last 18 available. The Irons are +1 in goal difference with nine goals for and eight conceded.
Union Berlina are unbeaten in four games at home this season. They have scored four times and conceded twice at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.
Wolfsburg’s away form has been decent with six points from nine taken. They suffered a shock away loss last time out against Hoffenheim 3-1.
Fischer’s Union Berlin team is nearly fully for Saturday. Two players are currently doubts for the game as centre-back Timo Baumgartl and Pawel Wszolek remain questionable prior to the fixture.
Wolfsburg will be without first-choice centre-back Maxence Lacroix on Saturday. Larcoix is suspended following a sending off last time out.
Van Bommel remains without Bartosz Bialek, Paulo Otavio, Xaver Schlager, and William. Each player is suffering from long-term injuries. Yannick Gerhardt is also likely to miss the game through injury. Midfielder Admir Mehmedi remains a doubt due to a muscular strain.
Between 2019 and 2021, these teams played four times. Union Berlin have established themselves as a Bundesliga regular now.
Wolfsburg have played well against Union Berlin over the course of those four games with two wins and two draws.
Since Union Berlin were promoted, Wolfsburg have not won at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei on two visits. Both games ended in draws and Saturday’s game at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei should finish in a third straight stalemate at the venue for these teams.
Union Berlin and Wolfsburg should struggle for goals wiht under 2.5 goals tallied.
