LiontipsWolfsburg vs. Union. Prediction (odds 3.40) and bets on the Bundesliga match
Command Analysis
Current form
In the last round before the international break, Wolfsburg pleased their fans with a 3-1 away win over Heidenheim. Three points allowed the Wolves to rise to 12th place in the table, but this is far from the result that the fans and management were expecting. The team has three victories in total, and all were achieved against weak opponents by Bundesliga standards - Holstein, Bochum and Heidenheim. Moreover, Wolfsburg has not yet won a single victory on its home field - two draws and three defeats. The only positive thing to note is that there was not a single defeat in the three previous rounds - two draws and a victory. However, the schedule was not the most difficult in this period.
Disqualifications and injuries
Wolfsburg still have a lot of injured players in the infirmary: Klinger, Vavro, Rogerio, Paredes, Meyer, Bialek, Mahle and Vrankx.
Interesting trends for betting
- Wolfsburg won in the first half in only one of their previous five matches
- Both teams have scored in 13 of Wolfsburg last 15 home Bundesliga games
Estimated line-up: Grabara - Fischer, Bornauw, Bulerakis - Baku, Arnold, Dardai, Kaminski - Wind - Tomasz, Amura.
Current form
Union is not fighting for survival this season, but is aiming for a place in the European Cups. In 10 rounds, the "iron men" have earned 16 points, with which they occupy sixth place. The only worrying thing is that in the last three rounds, Bo Svensson charges have not won a single victory - two draws and a defeat. At the same time, the schedule during this period was very difficult, two points scored can be counted as an asset, considering that they had to play with Eintracht (1:1), Bayern (0:3) and Freiburg (0:0) in turn. Union is achieving success due to a reliable game in defense - eight goals conceded. The team attack is not at its best (only nine goals scored), but this is the tactic that has so far brought positive results.
Disqualifications and injuries
Stein and Rote will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Union have scored no more than three goals in their last 11 Bundesliga matches
- Union have not won in 9 of their previous 10 away matches in the Bundesliga (four draws and five defeats)
Estimated line-up: Rönnow - Leyte, Vogt, Doehi - Trimmel, Khedira, Kemlein, Schafer - Vertessen, Chon - Hollerbach.

6.10Tip and bets
When choosing the main bet on a match, we recommend starting from the guests. Union has been demonstrating very pragmatic football throughout the season, not allowing opponents to create anything near their goal, while not shining in attack. It cannot be said that Wolfsburg is currently at the peak of form to easily open such a reliable defense of the opponent. In three of the four previous matches with the participation of the guests, more than two goals were not scored, it is unlikely that today we should expect a goal extravaganza.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.77
Bet on the outcome
Union have a poor away record – only one win in five games since the start of the season, and the team has drawn twice with their opponents. Wolfsburg have drawn three of their previous four matches. We believe that a draw is highly likely today.
The second bet is a draw with odds of 3.40
Bet on corners
On their home field, Wolfsburg will clearly try to play as the first number and will spend a lot of time at the opponent goal, especially since the guests like to act as the second number. There is a high probability in this scenario that the "wolves" will serve more corners than the opponent.
Prediction: Wolfsburg win on corners with odds of 1.55
