Hoffenheim remain in deep danger at the bottom end of the Bundesliga standings at this late stage of the season. They will be chasing a second straight victory this weekend against a Hoffenheim side that are still challenging for a Europa League spot.
Bundesliga Preview
This promises to be an important fixture at both ends of the Bundesliga standings this weekend. Wolfsburg are still in the hunt for a top six place in the German division, but they are currently sitting two points behind Bayer Leverkusen with three matches of the campaign remaining. Their recent form has been a concern, as they have registered just two victories across their previous five outings.
Wolfsburg will need an instant return to form this weekend, as they suffered their joint-heaviest defeat in history against Borussia Dortmund in their previous match. That was their fifth defeat in the second half of the season, which is one more than they had managed in the opening half. Home form has also been an issue for Wolfsburg, as they have picked up just 22 points compared to the 24 points that they have won on the road.
There is still work to do for Hoffenheim at this late stage of the season, as they sit 14th in the standings. They sit just four points above both the automatic relegation places and the playoff spot. Hoffenheim comes into this showdown having recorded a victory in their previous match, which was only their second over their previous five.
However, that was a pleasing return to form for the team, as they had gone three without a win. It was an excellent first half display by Hoffenheim last weekend, as they raced into a 3-0 lead after goals from Christoph Baumgartner, Andrej Kramaric, and Ihlas Bebou.
Wolfsburg vs Hoffenheim Head to Head
Wolfsburg holds a dominant record in this fixture since Hoffenheim’s promotion in 2008. They have claimed victories on 13 occasions, and have netted a staggering 56 goals in this fixture. Wolfsburg has also scored in each of their previous 14 home matches against Hoffenheim.
Wolfsburg vs Hoffenheim Prediction
It’s incredibly challenging to overlook the Wolfsburg record in this fixture, as they have dominated previous encounters against Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga since 2008. For that reason, we will be siding with the hosts to recover from their humbling loss against Borussia Dortmund last weekend.
