Preview
Wolfsburg come into this after a 2-2 away draw against Monchengladbach in their previous Bundesliga clash last week.
Thuram and Embolo scored for the hosts after Wind and Bornauw put the Wolves 2-0 up within no time, as both sides shared the spoils.
This draw pushed them to 12th place in the Bundesliga table with 28 points as they have dropped points in their last 2 fixtures.
On the other hand, Union Berlin beat St. Pauli 2-1 in their DFB Pokal Quarter-final clash in mid-week.
This after a 3-1 home win over Mainz in the league last week where Haraguchi, Becker and Awoniyi found the net for Berlin.
The win sent Berlin to 7th place in the table with 37 points as they strive to keep a check on the top 4 places.
Union Berlin are just 3 points shy of the 4th spot and can use the successive wins to build a winning run.
Both sides last met in October, where Union Berlin won 2-0 at home.
