In-form Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi will hope to continue his excellent form when Union Berlin host Wolfsburg on Saturday.
Union fans will have been thinking the worst when Max Kruse suffered a torn thigh at the beginning of December, but with the goals of Awoniyi leading their charge, the Berlin team has suffered no blip in form since his absence. The 23-year-old Nigerian forward has scored in each of his last three games, the latest coming in a convincing win over Werder Bremen which took Union temporarily into fourth place in the league table. Union has gone unbeaten in their four league games since Max Kruse's injury (2W, 2D). The capital club has also yet to suffer defeat to a team in the top half of the table and is unbeaten at home in their last six Bundesliga matches.
This weekend Awoniyi will be vital as Union faces Wolfsburg - who sit one place behind them in sixth with the same points total through 14 matches. With Union having won their last two, Urs Fischer won't want to change much from his side. There will be one enforced change with midfielder Grischa Prömel suspended, Sebastian Griesbeck should come in for him. Otherwise, expect the Union to remain unchanged for the arrival of the Wolves.
Union: Luthe - Knoche, Friedrich, Hübner - Trimmel (c), Andrich, Griesbeck, Lenz - Becker, Ingvartsen - Awoniyi
Out: Gentner (muscular), Kruse (thigh), Pohjanpalo (ankle), Prömel (suspended), Schlotterbeck (thigh), Ujah (knee)
Doubtful: -
Coach: Urs Fischer
Having made a perfect start to the season, Wolfsburg has struggled slightly in recent weeks. A 12-match unbeaten streak was ended by Bayern Munich before the end of 2020 with a 1-0 win over VfB Stuttgart coming before their second loss in three games at the hands of Borussia Dortmund. Wolfsburg top scorer Weghorst has failed to score in each of his last three league games having bagged at least once in each of his five outings before that.
Oliver Glasner will be looking for his side to return to winning ways once more but they may have to continue without Maximillian Philipp, Jerome Rousillon, and back-up goalkeeper Pavao Pervan for another week. Marin Pongracic began the game in Dortmund but was substituted with a knock which should see Maxence Lacroix restored at center-back alongside John Brooks.
Wolfsburg: Casteels (c) - Baku, Lacroix, Brooks, Otavio - Schlager, Arnold - Steffen, Mehmedi, Brekalo - Weghorst
Out: Pervan (not included), Philipp (not included)
Doubtful: Roussillon (not included)
Coach: Oliver Glasner

It is unusual to go against Wolfsburg in this season, but Union is in great form again and home win should be a value betting option here.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
