Wolfsburg vs Union Berlin Prediction 23.11.2024 | Bundesliga

• Competition: Bundesliga
• Date: 23rd November 2024
• Kickoff: 14:30 UK / 15:30 CEST
• Venue: Volkswagen Arena (Wolfsburg)

After a two-week break, domestic leagues across Europe are back in action. This weekend, the Bundesliga resumes with Round 11, and one of the potentially exciting matches features Union Berlin and Wolfsburg.

Following a disappointing season where they narrowly avoided relegation, Union Berlin has found their footing again and now looks competitive for a top finish. Currently, they sit in 6th place with 16 points. While November has brought a slight dip in form, their overall start to the season has been solid. In their final match before the break, Union played out a goalless draw at home against Freiburg. It was one of their weaker performances this season, but they still managed to secure a point, thanks in large part to an incredible display by Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu. The highlight of the match came in the 22nd minute when Atubolu made a brilliant save to deny Vincenzo Grifo from the penalty spot.

On the other side, Wolfsburg’s season has been defined by numerous injuries, yet they’ve managed to remain competitive. With 12 points, they currently sit in 12th place. In their last match, Wolfsburg secured an impressive 3-1 victory away to Heidenheim. It’s difficult to single out a standout performer from that game, as the entire team delivered an excellent performance, with the result being a testament to their collective effort.

Wolfsburg vs Union Berlin pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Despite their injury problems, Wolfsburg continues to play competitive and entertaining football, which deserves recognition. They rank among the league leaders in both goals scored and conceded - a stat that reflects their high-risk, high-reward style. Interestingly, they are yet to win a Bundesliga game at home this season. In five matches, they’ve recorded two draws and three losses, failing to keep a single clean sheet.

On the road, however, they’ve been much stronger, sitting just behind Bayern Munich in points earned away from home. Matches between Wolfsburg and Union Berlin in recent seasons have been consistently exciting. Since Union’s promotion to the Bundesliga in 2019, the teams have faced off 11 times, with at least one goal scored in every match. Predicting the winner here might be tricky, but one thing seems certain: we can expect goals from both sides.
