Wolfsburg vs Hoffenheim Preview and Team News
Wolfsburg Team News
Marooned in mid-table, Wolfsburg have suffered a significant drop in their form in the latter stages of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season.
With two matches remaining to the end of the season, they’re winless in their previous five, suffering four defeats and collecting a solitary point from a draw. At this rate, they might drop from 12th to 13th. Union Berlin are just 2 points behind them with 2 games to play.
Our coaching team takes charge today. 💪

Last time out, they lost convincingly, 4-0 to Dortmund. This reverse followed a 0-1 loss at home to SC Freiburg.
After these poor results, Wolfsburg have sacked head coach Ralph Hasenhüttl. He initially took over in March 2024 to help the club avoid relegation. However, despite some promising signings like Mohammed Amoura, Konstantinos Koulierakis, and Bence Dárdai, the team failed to achieve consistent success. Management cited disappointing results and a lack of progress as reasons for his dismissal.
Ahead of their penultimate match of the season against Hoffenheim, Wolfsburg have six injury concerns. The sidelined include Rogerio, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Marius Müller, Mattias Svanberg, Kebin Paredes, and Bennit Broger. Maximilian Arnold is suspended after being sent off in the loss to Freiburg.

Hoffenheim Team News
Hoffenheim have struggled throughout this season. They currently sit 15th on the Bundesliga table with 31 points after just 7 wins, 10 draws and 15 losses throughout the campaign.
Their current run has them on one victory and a tie in their previous five Bundesliga games, including three defeats. Last time out, Hoffenheim were at Monchengladbach, where a thrilling match ended in a 4-4 draw.
Manager Christian Ilzer will look for his side to regain some consistency when they travel to Wolfsburg on Friday. However, he’ll have to contend with 7 injuries. The sidelined names are Ozan Kabak, Ilhas Bebou, Grischa Promel, Christopher Lenz, Valentin Gendrey, Diadie Samassekou, and Oliver Baumann.

Bet hereWolfsburg vs Hoffenheim Prediction
- Pick: Wolfsburg to win
- Odds: 2.13 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Wolfsburg 1-0 Hoffenheim
Wolfsburg are winless in their latest five encounters, a stretch that includes four defeats and a tie. In contrast, Hoffenheim have one win and a draw in their last five. These two sides are evenly matched, even though eight points separate them on the Bundesliga table.
The hosts will have the advantage of their local supporters on Friday, which will tilt the game slightly in their favour.
The home squad showed a slightly better attack, scoring 53 times in 32 events compared to the guests’ 44 goals in the same run. Defensively, Wolfsburg are also better, conceding 52 goals compared to Hoffenheim’s 62.
My take is that this will be a closely-contested fixture, with both clubs approaching it with pragmatism. Given it’s the penultimate Bundesliga match, and Wolfsburg’s last home game of the season, they have a slight edge to win.
Wolfsburg vs Hoffenheim Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Any Team To Win To Nil – Yes
- Odds: 2.93 (22Bet)
These two sides are in the bottom half of the Bundesliga, showing how they’ve struggled this season, with just two matches left. Both managers should be compact and solid in their approach, which will make this a low-scoring affair.
The lack of cutting edge for both squads means that each will struggle to create chances, with the two defences shining.
In my opinion, this game will be won narrowly, with a “to nil” scoreline the likeliest.
