Each team’s starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Wolfsburg
In the last round, the team achieved a 3-1 away victory against Heidenheim. This result ended Wolfsburg's three-match winless streak in the Bundesliga (two draws and one loss). By Matchday 11, the team is positioned 12th in the table. The club is only four points away from the European competition zone, but the gap from the relegation play-off zone is the same.
- The team has failed to win in their last six home matches in the league (2 draws, 4 losses).
- Both teams scored in 13 of Wolfsburg's last 15 home games in this tournament.
- The team conceded at least two goals in 5 of their last 6 home league matches.
- The club has not lost to the upcoming opponent in their last five home matches in the Bundesliga (4 wins, 1 draw).
Union
In the 10th round, the Berlin club drew 0-0 with Freiburg, extending their winless streak in the Bundesliga to three matches (two draws and one loss). Before Matchday 11, the team occupies the 6th position in the German championship table. The club is just one point away from the Champions League zone, and their closest pursuer, Borussia Dortmund, is only behind them on goal difference.
- No more than three goals have been scored in the team's last 11 Bundesliga matches.
- Union has not won in 9 of their last 10 away games in this tournament (4 draws, 5 losses).
- The Berliners are the second-last team in the Bundesliga for goals scored in the 2024/25 season (the team has scored only 9 times in 10 rounds).
Wolfsburg vs. Union: Match Prediction
Ralph Hasenhüttl's side plays attacking football and has scored 19 goals by Matchday 11, one of the best records in the league. As for home matches, the team has scored in their last 15 Bundesliga home games. During this period, the club has scored against even top opponents like Bayern Munich (1-2 and 2-3), Borussia Dortmund (1-1), and Eintracht Frankfurt (1-2).
The Berlin team conceded in 4 of their last 6 away matches in the German championship. Only Leipzig and Holstein failed to score against Bo Svensson's side during this period. In the first case, the hosts had several dangerous moments and failed to convert a penalty. In the second match, the Kiel players also had opportunities to score and outperformed the visitors in xG (1.37 to 1.10), but lacked finishing quality, and Union's goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow made crucial saves.
The head-to-head statistics at Wolfsburg's ground are also noteworthy: in the last five Bundesliga meetings, the hosts have scored at least one goal against Union. I don't think the upcoming game will be an exception. My prediction: Wolfsburg individual total over 1
