I am going to stick with Wolfsburg even after they had lost my pick earlier in the month, conceding a late 0-2 goal against Borussia Dortmund.

Currently visitors are offered at 1.83 for a 0 handicap in Asia, which is a decent value by all means. There could be a drop on the day of the match eventually.

There are a number of serious issues for Union ahead of the game, something their thin squad may not be able to cope with. First of all, key figure in attack Max Kruse is unavailable with injury. 6 goals and 5 assists for the striker this campaign - he is their top-performing player according to various resources. The 32 year old striker is set to miss his 5th (!) math in succession - his absence did not have much of an impact in earlier fixtures as Union managed to go unbeaten for 4 rounds, while facing the likes of Bayern, Stuttgart or Borussia. But in either case Kruse's injury remains a serious issue.

Regular centre-mid Grischa Promel is suspended with 5 yellow cards.

In defense they are still unable to count on centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck and veteran Christian Gentner. Plus, according to kicker.de centre-back Knoche had been training individually during the week and is considered a doubt.

Wolfsburg were in flying form before schedule assigned them to face Bayern and Borussia inside 3 rounds with a home match against Stuttgart (1-0) in between. Even in the average performance vs. Borussia (0-2) Wolfsburg still had chances to get more out of the game - they prevailed in the total number of shots (21 vs. 14) and could get the equalizer in the dying moments.

In comparison to that away fixture, Wolfsburg should welcome back regular centre-mid Schlager and Maximilian Philipp. The former is expected to make the starting XI straight away.

Union has been overperforming in the opening part of the season and their current 5th position could well be the highest they ever climb in the current campaign.

They are a decent "manager" team, but with the given team news and Wolfsburg showing nice football in recent rounds, I feel, visitors are going to be closer to 3 points on Saturday.

Last season Wolfsburg took 4 points from 2 head-to-head fixtures and should continue the positive trend against Union.

即使他们在本月初输给了多特蒙德，我本场仍然看好沃尔夫斯堡。

目前，客胜的指数绝对是一个不错的价值。最终比赛开始前可能还会有所下降。

柏林联合面临许多严重问题，他们的阵容问题可能无法解决。首先，麦克斯·克鲁斯（Max Kruse）受伤，他是进攻中的关键人物。此前打进6球送出5个助攻-根据各种资源，他是柏林联合表现最好的球员。这位32岁的射手将连续错过他的第5轮联赛-由于在面对拜仁，斯图加特或德国这样的球队时，柏林联合保持不败，他的缺席对早期比赛没有太大影响。但是无论哪种情况，克鲁斯的受伤仍然是一个严重的问题。

常规中锋Grischa Promel有5张黄牌。 在防守，他们仍然无法依靠中后卫尼科·斯洛特贝克和老将克里斯蒂安·根特纳。另外，根据kicker.de的报道，中后卫Knoche在本周一直接受单独训练，因此被认为是一个疑问。

沃尔夫斯堡最近赛程密集，随后如期安排他们在3轮比赛中面对拜仁和白俄罗斯，并在此之间对阵斯图加特（1-0）。即使在对阵多特（0-2）的比赛中表现平庸，沃尔夫斯堡仍然有机会从比赛中获得更多的胜利-他们在射门总数中占了上风（21比14）。

与客场比赛相比，沃尔夫斯堡中锋施拉格和马克西米利安·菲利普回归。预计前者将进入首发十一。

柏林联合本赛季的开始阶段表现一直不佳，他们目前的第5名很可能是他们在本赛季取得的最好成绩。

他们是一支不错的球队，但随着鉴于球队的消息以及沃尔夫斯堡在最近几轮比赛中表现出色，我认为本场狼堡接近3分。

上个赛季，沃尔夫斯堡在柏林联合身上拿下4分，预测本场沃尔夫斯堡不败。
