🔊 With 14 games remaining in the season, Borussia Dortmund still hold onto hopes of surpassing Bayern Munich to claim the championship title. To keep this dream alive, Niko Kovac's side must secure a victory over Wolfsburg on Saturday at the Volkswagen Arena. This season has been Wolfsburg's worst in Bundesliga history after 20 rounds. The Wolves have failed to defeat the Black and Yellows in their last six league encounters-will this streak continue?
Head-to-Head
📊 Karim Adeyemi's goal in the first round helped Borussia defeat Wolfsburg (1-0). Dortmund have lost to the Wolves just once in their last 21 Bundesliga encounters: two matches ended in a draw, and they won 18 games.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Wolfsburg Team Overview
🟢 After their defeat in Cologne (0-1), Wolfsburg find themselves just one point ahead of the bottom three. Daniel Bauer's side have failed to secure a win in their last three outings (1 draw, 2 losses) and have managed only one victory in their past six matches. Currently, the Wolves have amassed 19 points - the club's worst tally after 20 games in their Bundesliga history.
⚪ Historically, matches against Dortmund have been challenging for the Wolves, and with a significant number of injuries plaguing the hosts, securing three points on Saturday seems a tough ask. Especially considering that at the Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg have only won twice in 10 matches, with three draws and five losses. The team from Lower Saxony has conceded 21 goals at home - only Heidenheim have let in more (22). Such squad issues have led to defensive struggles, prompting necessary reinforcements during the winter break.

Borussia Dortmund Team Overview
🟡 In the previous round, Dortmund faced significant challenges at home against bottom-placed Heidenheim, despite securing a 3-2 victory. Waldemar Anton opened the scoring in the 44th minute, but the visitors equalized during first-half stoppage time. Dortmund came out disorganized in the second half and conceded another goal just three minutes in. It wasn't until the latter stages of the second half that Serhou Guirassy scored a quick double, putting Dortmund ahead. The Guinean forward had a chance to complete a hat-trick, but he sent a penalty over the bar.
⚫ Kovac's side claimed a win and now trail Bayern by six points. Considering that the "Bees" will host Munich in the second half of the season, they have a solid opportunity to contend for the title. Moreover, Dortmund have accumulated 45 points after 20 rounds-the club's best performance in the past seven years.

Latest news
Wolfsburg
🎙️ Daniel Bauer after the loss in Cologne: "The result is painful. Based on the second half, I think we deserved at least a point. After we found our rhythm, Cologne gained the upper hand around 20 minutes in. We knew there would be phases where we'd have to defend a lot. In some instances, we didn't manage that well. After conceding, our reaction was poor, and we struggled with ball recovery, similar to our game in Mainz. However, in the second half, the players responded really well. They put in a lot of effort and left everything on the pitch. Unfortunately, from numerous chances, we couldn't convert any."
📝 Wolfsburg have signed center-back Jeanuel Belocian. The France U21 international joins on loan from Bayer Leverkusen until the end of the season and will wear the number six jersey. Following that, the Wolves secured another center-back from Basel - Jonas Adjetey. The 22-year-old Ghanaian international has signed a contract until June 30, 2030.
❌ Bence Dardai, Clayton, Rogerio, Moritz Jenz, Joakim Maehle, Jensen Selt, and Jonas Wind remain unavailable. Mohamed Amoura missed the previous round due to personal reasons.
Borussia Dortmund
🎙️ Niko Kovač ahead of the match: "Nineteen points don't quite reflect Wolfsburg's capabilities. In the second half against Cologne, they played really well and should have won. This season, they've dropped a lot of points that could have earned them victories, which indicates they have strong players in their squad. The match won't be easy."
❌ Filippo Mane is sidelined for four to six weeks due to a muscle injury. Marcel Sabitzer is still on an individual training program and will definitely not be available for the team this weekend. Emre Can is facing issues with his adductor muscles again, ruling him out of the upcoming match.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Timo Gerach has been appointed as the main referee at the Volkswagen Arena. He averages 5.2 yellow cards per match. Wolfsburg players average 1.95 yellow cards, while Borussia players average 1.8 in the league. We are opting for over 3.5 yellow cards, a line that has been met in Wolfsburg's last three fixtures.
⚽ Goal Prediction
We predict a first-half goal for Borussia as Wolfsburg have struggled defensively, conceding before halftime in 9 of their last 10 home games. Dortmund, on the other hand, have scored in the first 45 minutes in their past 10 matches and have historically found the net in the first half in 14 of their last 15 encounters at the Volkswagen Arena.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Wolfsburg rank second to last in the league for average corners per match with 3.8, while Dortmund are in the top five with 5.3. Trusting the stats, we choose under 6.5 corners for Borussia, a trend that has held true in their last 14 away Bundesliga games.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Whose motivation, determination, and desire will prevail? Our editorial team believes it's Dortmund, as they have a genuine shot at contending for the Bundesliga title. Wolfsburg are depleted, primarily due to a significant number of injuries. We select Dortmund's team total over 1.5 goals, given that Niko Kovac's squad is stronger and more versatile, while the home defense ranks among the league's worst. We suspect that the "Black and Yellows'" successful run against the "Wolves" will continue, predicting a 2-0 victory for them.
