Wolfsburg ahead on xG

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals> xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals> goals).

Kovac's men have had the better opportunities according to the statistics.

Great stop by Ronnow, who throws himself down to parry Marmoush's flicked header.

Michel shoots over!

Michel lines up his third shot of the match, but his effort flies high into the stands behind the goal.

Marmoush despair

Will Marmoush rue that missed opportunity towards the end of the first half?

Evenly-matched

No chances for either team at the start of this second period.

Good and bad omens for Union

The 'Eisernen' have never scored away at Wolfsburg, but have conceded the fewest second-half goals in the Bundesliga this term (nine).

Back underway!

Union get us going in this second period.

後半開始

All square

Nothing to split the two sides here. Svanberg's free-kick was the closest either side came to a goal, but this could still go either way.

Ronnow saves

Jonas Wind gets on the end of a cross, but Ronnow saves with relative ease - the striker just didn't get enough on his effort.

Casteels alert

A Laidouni pass fails to find a teammate, but it almost trickles into the net. Fortunately for the hosts, Casteels is on his toes and holds the ball before disaster ensues.

Becker to break his drought?

Union ace Becker has not scored in any of his previous nine Bundesliga matches and will be eager to break that run today.

Early team news

Wolfsburg will have to do without captain Maximilian Arnold, who is suspended, and the injured Bartol Franjic today, while centre-back Maxence Lacroix is also a doubt. Union, meanwhile, are only missing Andras Schäfer and Fischer's main concern will be how he rotates his squad between European fixtures.

Kovac: "Union a pointer for everyone else"

Wolves boss Niko Kovac was full of praise for the visitors this week, saying Union are an example that others should follow. "Against Union it is very difficult to create chances, and you can't make any mistakes against them, because once they're in front, it's difficult to win against Union," said the Croatian. "Their development is definitely a pointer to everyone else what you can achieve with good, hard work."

Fischer sweating the small stuff

Speaking to media in the build-up to today's game, Union supremo Urs Fischer said he expects a tough game against the Wolves and that it could be settled by the finest of margins. "Games in Wolfsburg are always tough ones, in which small things make the difference," he said. "VfL are a very strong team that likes to put pressure upon their opponents... That's why I'm expecting a tough game against a good team."

Watch: Wolfsburg 2-2 Frankfurt

Wolfsburg went toe-to-toe with top-four candidates Frankfurt on Matchday 23, in a performance in keeping with their recent inconsistent showings. The Wolves have now won just one of their last six in the Bundesliga, after starting the year with respective 6-0 and 5-0 routs of Freiburg and Hertha.

2:03

Watch: Union 0-0 Cologne

Union fell five points behind the top two after drawing a blank against stubborn Cologne.

Still in the hunt

Union's title charge has hit the skids of late, with goalless draws against Schalke and Cologne sandwiching a comprehensive 3-0 loss to leaders Bayern. They ended Matchday 23 in third, but could find themselves down in sixth come kick-off. Wolfsburg are one of the clutch of sides in and around eighth place hoping to sneak through the back-door into Europe.
