📏 Form Guide

VfL Wolfsburg

WDLWDL ⚖

VfL Wolfsburg will be looking for an improved result here following a 1-0 Bundesliga defeat last time out to Augsburg.

In that match, VfL Wolfsburg had 57% possession and 13 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Augsburg had 9 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Phillip Tietz (53') scored for Augsburg.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games where VfL Wolfsburg haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that VfL Wolfsburg have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 6 goals along the way. Such a trend isn’t assured to be continued into this game, of course.

Looking at their past form shows that VfL Wolfsburg:

• have not been beaten in their last 5 league matches at home.
• are without a win at home for the past 4 league games. Fans are getting restless.

Heidenheim

LLDLDW

Heidenheim will come into the encounter following a 3-1 Bundesliga win over Holstein Kiel in their last game.

In that match, Heidenheim managed 38% possession and 14 shots at goal with 5 on target. For Heidenheim, the goals were scored by Marvin Pieringer (33'), Budu Zivzivadze (47') and Sirlord Conteh (93'). For their opponents, Holstein Kiel had 16 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Phil Harres (87') was the scorer for Holstein Kiel.

The stats don’t lie, and Heidenheim have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 12 goals in all. Defensively, Heidenheim have clearly had some problems.

A look at their previous results shows us that Heidenheim:

• are undefeated in their previous 2 away league matches.
• are without an away win for the past 10 league games. It's not a good run at all.

🗞️ Team News: VfL Wolfsburg

Mads Roerslev (Heel problems), Mathys Angély (Torn muscle fiber), Bartosz Bialek (Knee injury), Rogério (Fitness), Lovro Majer (Torn muscle fiber), Mattias Svanberg (Knee problems) and Denis Vavro (Thigh problems) will not be able to play for VfL Wolfsburg manager Ralph Hasenhüttl.

It seems likely that Wolfsburg may well employ a 4-3-3 formation for this one, utilising Kamil Grabara, Kilian Fischer, Sebastiaan Bornauw, K. Koulierakis, Joakim Maehle, Patrick Wimmer, Maximilian Arnold, Bence Dardai, Andreas Skov Olsen, Jonas Wind and Tiago Tomas.

🗞️ Team News: Heidenheim

Heidenheim manager Frank Schmidt has a number of players out of action. Paul Wanner (Ill), Julian Niehues (muscular problems) and Mathias Honsak (Muscle injury) will miss out on this game.

We reckon that Heidenheim seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-5-2 formation, settling for Kevin Mueller, Patrick Mainka, Benedikt Gimber, Tim Siersleben, Marnon-Thomas Busch, Adrian Beck, Jan Schoeppner, Niklas Dorsch, Frans Kraetzig, Budu Zivzivadze and Marvin Pieringer.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Heidenheim will manage to score a goal against this VfL Wolfsburg team, but that might not be as many as they’ll concede.

We can see a close game with a 2-1 win for VfL Wolfsburg at the end of the 90 minutes. It should be a decent one.
