We are thinking that Wolfsburg could line up in a 4-3-3 formation this time and select Koen Casteels, Kilian Fischer, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Micky van de Ven, Paulo Silva, Felix Nmecha, Josuha Guilavogui, Yannick Gerhardt, Mattias Svanberg, Jonas Wind and Omar Marmoush.

Union Berlin manager Urs Fischer has not got a full squad to pick from. Jérôme Roussillon (Knock) and András Schäfer (Foot Injury) will miss out on this game.
From our viewpoint, Union seem likely to play in a 3-5-2 system using Frederik Roennow, Danilho Doekhi, Robin Knoche, Diogo Leite, Josip Juranovic, Aissa Laidouni, Rani Khedira, Morten Thorsby, Niko Giesselmann, Sheraldo Becker and Sven Michel.
⚡ Prediction
We believe that Union Berlin would be disappointed if they were not to find the back of the net against this VfL Wolfsburg side, but it is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.
We think that it’s going to be a narrow 2-1 win for VfL Wolfsburg when all is said and done. Let’s just see how this one goes.
