Saturday, January 28 at 2.30pm in Bundesliga

We said: Union Berlin 1-2 Wolfsburg

With Union Berlin challenging for the Champions League spots and still remaining in the hunt for the Europa League, we can envisage Wolfsburg possessing a little more appetite to win this match. As such, Kovac may make fewer changes to his strongest XI than Fischer, with the Wolves potentially biting back after seeing their impressive unbeaten run come to an end at the weekend. Read more.
