Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund Preview
Wolfsburg
After the club’s disappointing performance in the 2023/24 season, Ralph Hasenhüttl’s new approach for Wolfsburg shows potential, though the Austrian manager has yet to fully embed his philosophy within the squad.
In the last two Bundesliga rounds, Wolfsburg lost to Werder (2-4), and the match against St. Pauli ended in a goalless draw. So far, the team has confidently beaten only the obvious outsiders of the Bundesliga – Holstein Kiel (2-0) and Bochum (3-1).
Injuries have been a significant setback, restricting Hasenhüttl’s ability to rotate the squad in a demanding schedule. However, there is also positive news. Max Meyer has recovered from injury and is getting back into shape. The Croatian was probably the best in the squad before his injury and is likely to start against Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund had a series of ups and downs. The initial results in the Bundesliga and the Champions League were good, but the quality of their gameplay left much to be desired. Over the past month, Borussia has been facing harsh criticism. Their away form has been particularly concerning, with only one point collected from four matches on the road.

Dortmund’s most notable setback occurred against Real Madrid. Despite having a 2-0 lead in the first half, Real delivered a huge comeback, scoring four in the second half.
Dortmund will play their fourth game in 11 days so Nuri Sahin will certainly turn to rotation in the DFB Pokal and will probably rest key players for matches against more challenging opponents.
Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
- Pick: Dortmund to Win
- Odds: 2.13 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Wolfsburg 1-3 Borussia Dortmund
Both Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund are in need of a win, with neither team able to afford a defeat that could put additional pressure on their head coaches.
Dortmund’s away form has been poor this season, with only one point earned from four Bundesliga away games, while Wolfsburg haven’t shown much better form at home.
Dortmund have been consistent in the DFB Pokal and the last time they did not pass this stage was in 2010. We expect that the guests to grab a victory in 90 minutes and our pick would be Dortmund to win and proceed to the next round.

- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 1.56 (22Bet)
Dortmund failed to keep a clean sheet for seven matches in a row. The situation is further complicated by injuries of their key defenders.
Dortmund have fast attackers with Serhou Guirassy leading the offensive line with seven goals in eight matches. The Guinean striker is lethal at converting his chances and can effectively create space for his teammates.
Wolfsburg have scored at least once in eight out of nine matches of the season. Despite being inferior to the guests in the attack, they can surely count on several chances. Our other betting tip for Wolfsburg vs Dortmund is both teams to score.
