Union Berlin vs VFL Wolfsburg Prediction: A potential low scoring game on the cards

Week 21 of the Bundesliga pits two big names who have been performing badly this season together. The game is between the once high-flying Union Berlin and Wolfsburg to be played at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei in Berlin on Saturday 10th February 2024 at 17:30 (GMT+3). 

Wolfsburg have lost their last five Bundesliga games and will try to end their losing streak when they play Union Berlin. With 14 games remaining, Union Berlin is only three points outside of the relegation spots in 15th position with 18 points. Union Berlin's most recent Bundesliga game against Mainz 05 ended in a 1-1 tie at MEWA ARENA.

In September, Wolfsburg defeated the opposition 2-1 at Volkswagen Arena in their prior Bundesliga matchup. In the twelfth minute, Jonas Wind gave die Wölfe the lead and Joakim Maehle douled the lead. Union's Robin Gosens scored in the 28th minute.

With nine goals, including four in the first half of the season, Wind has emerged as Wolfsburg's main offensive danger. Can Wind help Wolfsburg break the losing streak?
