Union Berlin
In the last round, Union Berlin claimed a 2-1 victory away against Freiburg. Steffen Baumgart's side is unbeaten in three consecutive league matches (2 wins, 1 draw), although they have not kept a clean sheet during this stretch. Moreover, Union Berlin has conceded in six straight Bundesliga matches. However, the club has allowed only 40 goals this season, with only St. Pauli (33) conceding fewer in the lower half of the table. Union Berlin currently sits in 13th place in the standings.
- At least three goals have been scored in 5 of Union Berlin's last 7 league matches.
- The team has not won in 9 of their last 10 home Bundesliga matches (5 draws, 4 losses).

Wolfsburg
After a seven-match unbeaten run in the league (2 wins, 5 draws), Ralph Hasenhüttl's side suffered back-to-back 0-1 defeats against Augsburg and Heidenheim in the last two rounds. Notably, this is the first time in the 2024/25 Bundesliga season that Wolfsburg has failed to score in two consecutive matches. The team has conceded in six straight games in this tournament.

Union Berlin vs. Wolfsburg: Match Prediction
Union Berlin surprises many. In their last three matches, Steffen Baumgart's side has taken points from three of the top seven teams in the league, including a draw against Bayern Munich. I believe these results are largely due to the team's offensive output in these matches: the usually low-scoring Union Berlin has netted five goals in three games. It's likely that the capital club will continue their approach in the upcoming match.
Wolfsburg's scoring has dipped, but the team still finds the net consistently: in 16 of their last 19 league encounters. However, defensively, they lack solidity, and no team in the upper half of the table has conceded more than Ralph Hasenhüttl's side. Union Berlin faces similar defensive issues, having managed to keep a clean sheet in just one of their last 8 home Bundesliga matches.
Considering these factors, my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
