In the subsequent round, they faced Heidenheim, which they defeated 2-0 thanks to goals from Sven Michel and Tymoteusz Puchacz. Last season, Union defeated Hertha Berlin 3-2 at this stage of the tournament, and they will want to do the same here.

Union Berlin vs Wolfsburg Team news :
Due to abdominal and ankle injuries, Union Berlin’s legendary manager will be without midfielders Morten Thorsby and Andras Schafer, but the team will still be able to use its fully fit players. Jordan Siebatcheu has been named as a substitute in each of his team’s last two victories because he hasn’t scored in a while. On Tuesday, however, Siebatcheu, an American, should start.
Lukas Nmecha and Felix Nmecha, brothers who are currently sidelined with injuries to their knees and thighs, will not travel with Wolfsburg. Despite losing for the first time in over four months against Bremen at the weekend, Maxence Lacroix and Joshua Guilavogui are two players who are likely to be used from the start in the capital. Kovac is unlikely to make too many changes.
