1. Key Points from Union Berlin vs Wolfsburg Match - 1. Key points from Union Berlin's match with Wolfsburg:
But first, let's take a glance at the stats:
Union Berlin
- Rank: 13th
- Points: 30
- Recent Form: Unbeaten in the last 3 games against top teams - Frankfurt (2:1), Bayern Munich (1:1), and Freiburg (2:1).
Wolfsburg
- Rank: 9th
- Points: 38
- Recent Form: Three straight losses - against St. Pauli (1:1), Augsburg (0:1), and Heidenheim (0:1).
Now, let's get into the meat of this punch: the historic record. Union Berlin has never lost at home to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, claiming three wins in the past three seasons alone!
But here's the kicker: both teams have managed to draw twice in the past two seasons, with a '2:2' scoreline each time. So it's not all plain sailing for Union.
Steffen Baumgart, Union Berlin's current coach, seems to have better luck away from home, winning three out of six games on the road since taking over. However, his team has only managed to victories at home against Mainz 05.
Two former teammates briefly cross paths this Sunday as Kevin Behrens, a former Union striker who made the national team during his time there, lines up for Wolfsburg, while Jerome Roussillon, a defender who used to play for Wolfsburg, now finds himself on the Union bench.
Steffen Baumgart himself has some history with Wolfsburg, as he scored five goals in 32 Bundesliga games between 1998 and 1999. Fun fact, eh?
But what really sets the stage for this duel is the excellent form Union Berlin has shown in their last three games against top-ranked teams. Meanwhile, Wolfsburg hasn't managed a win in their last three outings.
Predictions indicate a tight game with a potential 1-1 scoreline, and Under 3.5 goals being the more likely outcome. Let's see if history repeats itself or if Wolfsburg can spoil the party at the Old Forest Stadium this Sunday.
