Wolfsburg vs Union Berlin Prediction: Another difficult game for Union Berlin

In the Bundesliga rankings, Wolfsburg and Union Berlin are currently six places away from one another as they get ready to compete against one another in the encounter that will take place on Saturday 23rd November at the Volkswagen Arena during game week 11. Union Berlin's travel to Volkswagen Arena will continue their difficult run of games.

Union Berlin only managed two points in the remaining three rounds of competition against three of the top five teams. Two weeks ago, they did not play well at home against Freiburg, giving up an xG of 1.70 in front of the home crowd, which resulted in a goalless draw.

Although Wolfsburg had a sluggish start to the season, they appear to have found their rhythm recently. The team led by Ralf Hasenhuttl has won all three of their league games. In the previous round, they defeated Heidenheim 3-1 on the road. Will this run continue against Wolfsburg?

Wolfsburg was determined to get back to winning ways before the international break, and they were successful in doing so by achieving a convincing 3-1 victory away against Heidenheim. This came after the team had drawn two straight matches in the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg, currently in 12th position, will attempt to improve upon this remarkable performance.

The fact that they only managed to gain two points out of a potential fifteen at the Volkswagen Arena means that their success in this endeavour will be contingent on their capacity to enhance their performance at home. Having said that, Wolfsburg's strong record in previous Bundesliga matches against Union at home, which includes four victories and one draw, ought to serve as a source of confidence for the team as they get ready for the match on Saturday.

Although Union Berlin is presently in sixth place in the Bundesliga table, the international break came at a fortuitous moment for Bo Svensson's team, as they had been experiencing a drop in form. This was a much needed break to help Union Berlin to regroup.

Union have not been successful in any of their last four matches across all competitions since their 2-0 victory over promoted Holstein Kiel on October 20. They have drawn two matches (1-1 against Eintracht Frankfurt and 0-0 against Freiburg), suffered a 3-0 loss to Bayern Munich, and suffered a surprising 2-0 loss to Arminia Bielefeld in the DFB-Pokal.

In order to enhance their chances of qualifying for the Champions League, they need to concentrate on achieving victory and ignore their prior failures at the Volkswagen Arena, where they have demonstrated a lack of success in recent matches. In addition to breaking Wolfsburg's streak of four consecutive matches without suffering a loss, a victory would also provide Union a boost in their pursuit of a spot in the top four.

Throughout the history of head-to-head competition between these two teams, the advantage of playing on the home court has been a significant factor. As a result, Wolfsburg has a six-game home record versus Union Berlin, which includes four victories and two draws. Union Berlin has a positive head-to-head record overall.

Each squad have a significant amount of defensive capability. In the most recent four matches that Wolfsburg has played across all competitions, three of them ended with fewer than three goals scored. In a similar vein, three of Union Berlin's most recent four league matches ended with fewer than three goals scored, just as four of the most recent six head-to-head matches between these rivals have likewise ended with fewer than three goals scored.

Hence, I believe this game will not produce many goals
