VfL Wolfsburg – Union Berlin | 3-0 | Highlights | Matchday 32 – Bundesliga 2020/21 – YouTube
Preview
Union Berlin come into this after a 1-2 away success against Mainz in their previous match and look to make it 4 wins in succession here.
Awoniyi led the way with a second half brace before which Ingvartsen scored for the hosts in the first half to register yet another win.
This continued Berlin’s good start to the season as they are in 6th place with 12 points from 7 matches and are progressing quite nicely.
On the other hand, Wolfsburg lost momentum in recent weeks and dropped to 5th in the table with 13 points after being in the top 2 earlier.
They lost their last match at home 1-3 against Monchengladbach and eye a significant turnaround.
Waldschmidt’s effort did not prove consequential as Embolo, Hofmann and Scally’s strikes gave the visitors a win.
In their last 5 matches, Wolfsburg has lost 2 and drawn 2 while picking up a sole win in a friendly clash. Hence, the tide needs to turn quickly for van Bommel’s men.
Both sides last met in May for a Bundesliga clash where Wolfsburg won comfortably 3-0 at home.

Prediction: Union Berlin 1-2 Wolfsburg
Even after a drop in intensity during recent weeks, we expect Wolfsburg to come back hard as they have a formidable squad.
Led by Weghorst, the Wolves are capable of turning things around and we expect them to win this one.
Union Berlin is not going to let that happen easy and we foresee them making it very hard for the visitors as they too are in good form.
But Wolfsburg’s backs to the wall situations gives them an edge.
Players to watch out for: Khedira, Awoniyi, Waldschmidt and Weghorst.
