Wolfsburg vs Union Berlin prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2021-22
Bundesliga action continues this weekend and will see Wolfsburg host Union Berlin at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday afternoon.
Wolfsburg played out a 2-2 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach in their last game, squandering a two-goal lead in the process. The Wolves took the lead via goals from Jonas Wind and Sebastiaan Bornauw before seeing their lead vanish late in the game. They also had a VAR decision go in their favor to ensure they picked up the sole point.
The hosts now sit 12th in the league with 28 points from 24 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend as they seek entry into the top-half of the table.
Union Berlin have bounced back from their poor run after the winter break. They picked up a clinical 3-1 win over Mainz in their last league game before advancing to their first DFB-Pokal semifinals in over two decades in midweek.
Union Berlin sit seventh in the Bundesliga standings with 37 points from 24 games. They will now be looking to extend their winning run this weekend as they continue their push for Europe.

Wolfsburg are on a run of back-to-back winless outings. Their home form has also been disappointing, winning just a third of their home league games this season.
Union Berlin have won their last two games, ending a three-game losing and goalless streak. They are brimming with confidence at the moment and could come out on top this weekend.
