Wolfsburg and Union Berlin were both handed defeats in their most recent fixtures before the international break, meaning both will be looking to get back on track when they lock horns in the Bundesliga this weekend. But, which team will bounce back to winning ways?
Bundesliga Preview
It had been a solid start to the new season for both Union Berlin and Wolfsburg, but both were brought back down to earth with crushing defeats in their most recent fixtures before the international break. Union Berlin will be hoping to bounce back quickly, as they could move back into the Champions League spots before their midweek showdown against Real Madrid.
Union had scored eight goals across their opening two matches, but they were brushed aside before the international break, as they suffered a shock 3-0 home defeat against RB Leipzig. However, the game turned on a red card handed out to Kevin Volland with half an hour remaining, as Leipzig scored twice in the final ten minutes as Union chased the game.
Wolfsburg also made a promising start to the new season, as they landed victories in each of their opening two matches at the start of the season. However, they have defensive issues to iron out, as they have already allowed four goals in the Bundesliga this term.
A response will be required by the hosts this weekend, as they were wasteful in front of goal against Hoffenheim in their most recent fixture. Wolfsburg managed to register seven shots on target from their 61% of the possession, and they threw away a 1-0 advantage given to them by Tiago Tomas after 36 minutes.
Wolfsburg vs Union Berlin Head to Head
Home victories have been a common trend in this fixture, as there is yet to be an away win in eight Bundesliga showdown between the sides. Wolfsburg have won three of their four top-flight meetings with Union. However, this exact fixture last season ended in a 1-1 draw.
Wolfsburg vs Union Berlin Prediction
Both of these sides will be looking to put disappointing performances before the international break behind them when they return to action. However, a draw could be a decent betting angle this weekend, and we could also see both teams finding the back of the net.
