It’s been a rare occasion in recent times where VfL Wolfsburg have shown defensive steel.

That aside, we must now wait to see whether that trend might be sustained in this next game.

We reckon that it will be a close game with a 2-1 victory for VfL Wolfsburg at full-time. It really should be an interesting one.
