Union Berlin vs Wolfsburg Prediction

Union Berlin have performed well under the management of Urs Fischer, and are currently top of the league table. Suriname international Sheraldo Becker has been in sensational form so far, having scored five league goals this season.

Wolfsburg, on the other hand, are 16th in the league right now, and have won only one game so far. Attacker Lukas Nmecha has three goals so far in the league, but more is required from players like Luca Waldschmidt.

Union Berlin's form could prove to be crucial, and a win for them seems likely.

Prediction: Union Berlin 2-1 Wolfsburg
