Union Berlin welcomes VfL Wolfsburg

1. FC Union Berlin meets VfL Wolfsburg in the second round of the DFB Cup. “Games under floodlights in the An der Alten Försterei stadium are always something very special. We accept the cup ticket and want to overcome this hurdle in a 50:50 game against VfL Wolfsburg and move into the next round of the cup,” commented Oliver Ruhnert, Managing director professional football of 1. FC Union Berlin, the draw.

Union has their own fans behind them, but Wolfsburg is hoping for the Niko Kovac factor.
