Union Berlin quickly established themselves in the Bundesliga. Th Iron Union has only recently debuted at a new level. But not only was he able to confidently gain a foothold here, but he also progressed more and more. Already last season, the capital project played in parallel in the Conference League, albeit not very successfully. Now the Germans are also distracted, already in the Europa League, but for a long time they were in the lead in the championship table. Yes, then the tired team was blown away. But after a pause, they started in the winter with a confident 3-1 score against Hoffenheim, after which they extended their winning streak with Werder Bremen and Hertha.

Wolfsburg gradually began to show claims to European competition. The Wolves in 2021 finished on 4th place, qualifying to the Champion League. But then Glasner, a successful mentor, was gone. And, most likely, the board quickly regretted this decision: while Oliver won with new wards, Eintracht, the Europa League, the club failed, finished at the bottom of the table of the new draw. Not surprisingly, a new coach, Niko Kovac, was called to the coaching post in the summer. The Croatian had a slow start (the first victory was only in the 6th round), but gradually Wolfsburg improved with him. And they did not slow down during the long pause - January began with a 6-0 against Freiburg. After that, a little more modestly, 5-0, to beat Hertha as well. But they stumbled with Werder, losing 1-2.
Visitors in this pair never win in head-to-heads. Moreover, the hosts have strictly won four times, including 2-0 in September in Berlin. Union seems to be stronger, but do they really need a cup so much? And Wolfsburg looks solid in the winter. We recommend betting on "both teams to score".
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
