Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund Preview, Prediction, Odds, Betting Tips 22.12.2024

• Date and Time: Sunday, December 22, 17:30 GMT+1
• Venue: Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg, Germany

Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg sit in 10th place in the Bundesliga, registering 21 points in 14 matches. They lost 2-1 to Freiburg but demolished RB Leipzig two weeks ago (1-5). They’re one of the most inconsistent teams in the league, having won against Leipzig and losing to Leverkusen (4-3) in a close match. The team also conceded a goalless draw to 15th-placed St.Pauli. 

On the other hand, Die Wölfe have progressed in the DFB-Pokal effortlessly, eliminating Dortmund and Hoffenheim. Their next fixture in the competition is scheduled for February, where they’ll face RB Leipzig. 

Wolfsburg have not struggled offensively, scoring 31 goals in 14 matches. Only Leverkusen, Bayern, and Frankfurt have scored more. However, the lack of a reliable defense leads them to 25 conceded goals. Dortmund will be their last opponent in the 2024 calendar year. 

Dortmund

Unlike previous seasons, Dortmund’s record in the Bundesliga is one of their worst in recent seasons. The Black and Yellows sit in 8th place in the league, with 22 points in 14 games. While this placement may seem poor, it’s worth reminding that seven points separate second-placed Leverkusen from 9th-placed Werder Bremen. 

It’s another story in the Champions League, as Dortmund sit in 9th place, having won four games out of six and losing two. Qualification for the knock-out round is almost inevitable, having scored 18 goals while surrendering 9. Half of those were in the game against Real Madrid, where the Black and Yellows conceded five.

In the Bundesliga, Dortmund are the German Robin Hood., defeating Leipzig (2-1) and losing to Augsburg (2-1). They drew with Bayern Munich (1-1) but settled with a draw to Hoffenheim (1-1) last weekend. 

The Black and Yellows’ most significant flaw remains their inconsistency, which explains their current 8th position. It’s far from over, but the signs are concerning.

Wolfsburg vs Dortmund Prediction

• Prediction: Draw
• Odds: 3.78 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Wolfsburg 2-2 Dortmund

Only one point separates Wolfsburg from Dortmund, and both teams have shown significant inconsistency this season. The two sides can hold a draw against the best teams but are unable to keep the same form throughout the months. 

The match will be in Wolfsburg and the Black and Yellows often struggle away from home without the support of the Yellow Wall.

As is often the case in the Bundesliga, teams aren’t interested in defending, as they prefer to counter in fast-paced transitions. Dortmund possess better individual quality but have proven insufficient this season. 

This is an unpredictable match-up, and with Christmas approaching, some players may lack focus on the game.

Wolfsburg vs Dortmund Betting Tip

• Pick: Serhou Guirassy to score
• Odds: 2.2 (22Bet)

Serhou Guirassy is the most reliable player on his team. He has scored six goals in the Bundesliga and another six in the Champions League. When Dortmund looks lost, they turn to him as the saviour in the penalty box. Given Dortmund’s struggles with defensive efficiency, they should focus on delivering passes to him.
