Wolfsburg finished eighth in the Bundesliga last season although it could be a tall order for Niko Kovac’s side to emulate that achievement. The Wolves currently sit twelfth in the German top tier, having earned a modest return of twenty-three points from twenty-one games. The bookies make them the outsiders to get the better of Borussia Dortmund.
Don’t be too surprised if this match results in a draw. After narrowly losing 2-1 at home to Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg were then involved in four consecutive draws and three of them were a 1-1 scoreline. However, their last clash was a 1-0 loss away to Union Berlin despite having four shots on target compared to their opponents’ one.
They could have their work cut out against a Dortmund team who have a Champions League engagement against PSV Eindhoven coming up, having finished top of a section that also included Paris Saint-Germain, Milan and Newcastle United. They have improved defensively in recent weeks and it could be worth backing them along with BTTS No.
If you stick to this line of thinking, then you could even roll the dice and go for correct scorelines of 1-0 and 2-0 in favour of the visitors. Donyell Malen is in excellent form and bagged a recent brace as part of a 3-0 victory over Freiburg, with Niclas Fullkrug also in solid scoring form and the strikers could end up edging things in the right direction.
