Yellow card for Rani Khedira (1. FC Union Berlin)

Khedira straddles Nmecha very rustically. That gives him the early yellow card.

Michel sends Becker over to the right, whose half-high cross comes dangerously towards the five-meter space. The ball is blocked from there in the feet of the following Michel, whose left-footed shot from 14 meters also sails well past.

game start

19:02

The home record speaks for the wolves tonight. The Lower Saxony have all won their previous three Bundesliga home games against 1. FC Union Berlin. Only at Borussia Dortmund have the Köpenickers made three Bundesliga appearances without ever scoring a single point.

18:57

Last weekend Wolfsburg played 2-2 at home against Eintracht Frankfurt. Compared to this game tonight, Niko Kovač makes five changes: Fischer, Bornauw, Guilavogui, Wind and Felix Nmecha start for Arnold (suspended), Lacroix, Kamiński, Wimmer and Baku (all four benches).

18:50

At VfL Wolfsburg things weren’t going quite so well after a catch-up race in the meantime. The Lower Saxony have taken four out of six possible points from the last two league games, but have lost four of their last seven competitive games (one win, two draws) – including the 1-2 away defeat against the Irons in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup.

18:44

The people of Köpenick have another English week in their bones. On Thursday evening, Union Berlin struck back against Union Saint-Gilloise three times in the Europa League after a deficit and at least fought back a 3: 3. Coach Urs Fischer still has to keep an eye on the load control and changed his starting lineup to three positions today: Sven Michel, Aïssa Laïdouni and Niko Gießelmann move into the starting eleven for Janik Haberer, Kevin Behrens and Christopher Trimmel (all three benches).

18:38

After a dream start to 2023 with six competitive wins, 1. FC Union Berlin was only able to win one of the last six competitive games (four draws, one defeat). The Irons, who have meanwhile been able to draw even with Bayern, have lost contact with the top of the table. Taking into account the previous results, eight points are currently missing in first place.

18:31

Good evening and welcome from the Volkswagen Arena. This is where VfL Wolfsburg is hosting 1. FC Union Berlin at 7:30 p.m. tonight as part of the 24th match day of the Bundesliga.
