📊 Form Guide

VfL Wolfsburg
LLLDLL ⚠
VfL Wolfsburg will be looking for an improved result here following the 4-0 Bundesliga loss in their previous game against Borussia Dortmund.
In that game, VfL Wolfsburg had 45% possession and 11 shots at goal with 2 on target. At the other end, Borussia Dortmund had 11 shots at goal with 5 on target. Serhou Guirassy (3', 59') and Karim Adeyemi (69', 73') scored for Borussia Dortmund.
VfL Wolfsburg have not been in good attacking form of late. Their goals record stands at just 4 against opposition teams during the course of their previous six fixtures. In those meetings, VfL Wolfsburg have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 12. Having said that, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern will persist in this next match.
Their past results show that VfL Wolfsburg:
- have not been beaten in the league by Hoffenheim in their previous 2 games.
- are without a win at home for the past 7 league games. Fans are getting restless.

- have not beaten VfL Wolfsburg when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.

🗞️ Team News: VfL Wolfsburg
Bennit Bröger (Knee surgery), Kevin Paredes (Hamstring strain), Rogério (Fitness), Mattias Svanberg (Muscle injury), Sebastiaan Bornauw (Foot injury) and Marius Müller (concussion) won’t be available for VfL Wolfsburg boss Ralph Hasenhüttl.
It looks as if Wolfsburg may well use the 3-3-2-2 system this time, handing starts to Kamil Grabara, Kilian Fischer, Denis Vavro, K. Koulierakis, Jakub Kaminski, Aster Vranckx, Joakim Maehle, Yannick Gerhardt, Patrick Wimmer, Jonas Wind and Mohamed Amoura.

🧠 Prediction
For this match, we think that Hoffenheim will surely be able to break down this VfL Wolfsburg outfit, although it might not be as many as they will have scored against them.
We are anticipating a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for VfL Wolfsburg when the full-time whistle blows. Should be a good one.
