On Sunday Sep 18th, in week 7, Union Berlin will host Wolfsburg in a clash of the Bundesliga. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, 1st placed Union Berlin, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Köln. Timo Hübers struck first for Union Berlin on an own goal in the 4th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Köln couldn’t manage to score, and Union Berlin took the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Union Berlin should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Wolfsburg recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Eintracht Frankfurt. Maxence Lacroix struck first for Wolfsburg in the 60th minute on a feed from Josip Brekalo, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Eintracht Frankfurt was frustrated by Wolfsburg’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Wolfsburg ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Lukas Nmecha has been the most prolific scorer on Wolfsburg in his last five matches with 2 goals. Union Berlin is fortunate enough to have Sheraldo Becker in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored four goals
Urs Fischer’s squad will be without Jordan Siebatcheu, Timo Baumgartl, Diogo Leite and Danilho Doekhi, while Wolfsburg will be without Jonas Older Wind, Yannick Gerhardt and Patrick Wimmer.
