Match preview
Union Berlin’s season just keeps getting better and better.
On Saturday, goals from Danilho Doekhi and then Paul Seguin saw them to a 2-0 Berlin Derby victory over Hertha at Olympiastadion.
That made it three successive victories for Urs Fischer’s team, who are now second, just one point below Bayern Munich.
Die Eisernen are also through to the Europa League knockouts, they’ll face Ajax, and are dreaming of a first DFB-Pokal final appearance in 21 years, having fallen in the semis a year ago.
So far in this competition, Union have overcome Chemnitzer and Heidenheim, and come into this tie as favourites.
Visitors Wolfsburg meanwhile captured this trophy for the very first time in 2015, beating Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the final.
However, their unbeaten streak came to an abrupt end on Saturday, losing 2-1 to Werder Bremen at Weserstadion.
Nevertheless, this surge moved Niko Kovač’s team up to seventh, in contention for European qualification.
So far in the Pokal, die Weißgrünen have beaten both Carl Zeiss Jena and Eintracht Braunschweig on the road, but this’ll be a substantially tougher assignment.
Wolfsburg lost 2-0 at Stadion An der Alten Försterei as recently as September, with this tie likely to go a similar way.
