VfL Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction: Bundesliga Match on 17.02.2024

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to keep up the pressure on the top three in the Bundesliga this weekend when they travel to Wolfsburg. The hosts come into this fixture after failing to win across their last five matches in the German top-flight.

Bundesliga Preview

It has been an encouraging return to action for Dortmund since the winter break, and they have comfortably moved into the Champions League spots after winning four of their last five. They could continue their excellent recent form by landing a win this weekend, which would see them move level on points with Stuttgart. However, a defeat could open the door for RB Leipzig. 

Wolfsburg will have a point to prove in front of their home fans this weekend, as they look to get their campaign back on track to avoid getting dragged into a relegation scrap at the wrong end of the standings. The German side were beaten last weekend, ending their four-game drawing sequence in the Bundesliga.

Dortmund have made a solid return to action following the winter break after picking up 13 points from their matches. Since the turn of the year, only Bayer Leverkusen have picked up more points. However, Dortmund boast the best attacking and defensive records of all sides in the Bundesliga since the start of 2024. 

There will be concern at Wolfsburg at this stage, as they have only picked up 23 points from their opening 21 matches this season. That is their lowest tally since the 2016-17 season. In that season, they only managed to avoid relegation through the playoff. This term, they have already lost ten games in the Bundesliga, which is just one fewer than they managed in the entirety of the previous season. 

Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund Head to Head

Wolfsburg landed a victory in this exact fixture last season. However, that success remains their only win against Dortmund in the last 17 encounters across all competitions. Their most recent win before last season was a 3-1 success in the DFB Pokal final in 2015. 

Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction

Dortmund boast an excellent record against Wolfsburg, and that is incredibly challenging to overlook when assessing the most likely result this weekend. We also expect the visitors to keep a clean sheet, just as they have in their last three on the road in the Bundesliga.
