Wolfsburg - Union Berlin predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

The task ahead is well-known to the visiting team. Defeating Wolfsburg on their own field would be a major accomplishment, and doing so is always challenging.

Wolfsburg performed well above expectations in the previous round at Heidenheim . They secured a convincing 1:3 victory against stiff opposition – they were even leading on half-time.

Union Berlin had their work cut out for them as they entered the previous game. The 3.23 odds were somewhat favourable, but most of the advantage can be chalked up to the fact that they were playing at home. The two teams ended up in a deadlock for most of the runtime, and the match ended with a 0:0 draw.

The hosts have a dubious performance record at home. The previous 3 times they played at home were marked with over 5 goals conceded. That’s bad news considering playing at home is usually seen as an advantage.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. Niklas Klinger, Kevin Paredes, Joakim Maehle, Lovro Majer, Aster Vranckx, Mattias Svanberg, Bartosz Bialek, Denis Vavro will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

Going for a Home Win is already a fairly safe bet but we’d like to shore it up even further. The highest-value way of achieving this is through a Draw No Bet wager, which shortens the odds to 1 but is well worth the price.
