Eighth-placed Wolfsburg will entertain third-placed Union Berlin at the Volkswagen Arena in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
The hosts are undefeated in their last two league outings and played out a 2-2 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt thanks to goals from Omar Marmoush and Yannick Gerhardt.
Union Berlin have lost some steam in their title charge and are winless in their last three games. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have opened up a five-point lead over them in the league table, capitalizing on their poor run.
They played out a goalless draw against Koln at home last Saturday but managed to play out a 3-3 draw against Union Saint-Gilloise in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League round of 16 on Thursday.
Wolfsburg vs Union Berlin Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- The two northern German rivals have squared off just 10 times in all competitions with eight of these meetings coming in the Bundesliga. The hosts enjoy a 5-3 lead in wins and just two games have ended in draws.

Wolfsburg vs Union Berlin Prediction
Die Wölfe have a 100% record at home against the capital club and are yet to concede a goal in their four home games. They have just one win in their last seven games, so they might struggle here.
Die Eisernen have failed to score in their last three games in all competitions and will be looking to return to goalscoring and winning ways. With the second leg of the Europa League on the horizon, we expect the visitors to play for a draw.
Prediction: Wolfsburg 1-1 Union Berlin
