Wolfsburg have started the new Bundesliga season in an impression fashion, and they could potentially move to the top of the standings if they are able to pick up maximum points against Hoffenheim this weekend.
Bundesliga Preview
Wolfsburg have quickly put last season’s struggles behind them, as they have their sights set on a return to the Champions League. The German club have won each of their opening two matches this term, and a third straight victory this weekend could see them go into the international break at the top of the Bundesliga standings.
Wolfsburg have landed back-to-back wins over the opening two rounds of matches, and they have scored an impressive four goals and conceded just once. They followed up a home win on matchday one last weekend by claiming a 2-1 victory on the road against FC Köln. Both of their goals in that success were netted in the final half an hour, with Jonas Wind scoring a brace. However, few could have argued against the belief that Wolfsburg deserved maximum points on the road.
Hoffenheim will have the home field advantage this weekend, as they look to build on their impressive victory on matchday two. It was a fine response from the Bundesliga side, as they quickly put their opening day defeat behind them to move up to tenth in the overall standings.
Their matchday two success was recorded against newly promoted Heidenheim, with Hoffenheim scoring each of their three goals in the final 13 minutes of the match. Maximillian Beler and Pavel Kadelabek grabbed the goals to draw the visitors level, before the winning effort was smashed home from the penalty spot by Andrej Kramaric in the 90th minute.
Hoffenheim vs Wolfsburg Head to Head
Wolfsburg boast an impressive recent record in this fixture, as they have won each of their last two against Hoffenheim. That is an excellent return to form in this fixture after losing three on the bounce. This exact fixture was won 2-1 by Wolfsburg in November last season.
Hoffenheim vs Wolfsburg Prediction
Wolfsburg have looked very consistent over the opening two weeks of the season, and they are the narrow preference to land victory this weekend. However, both teams to score could be the standout selection, as this has been a winning selection in each of the last ten Bundesliga meetings between these sides.
