VfL Wolfsburg come into this fixture in a worrying patch of form, with their last five Bundesliga outings yielding just one win, one draw, and three defeats. The crushing 1-8 defeat to Bayern Munich still looms large, highlighting significant defensive vulnerabilities that have plagued them. Their average of 1.0 goals scored per game is simply not enough to compete consistently, especially when paired with a porous defense conceding an alarming 2.8 goals per game. Their recent 0-1 and 1-3 losses against Köln and Mainz respectively, further underscore their struggle to find rhythm and solidity, placing immense pressure on the Wolves as they face a strong Dortmund side.

Borussia Dortmund arrive in Wolfsburg with a mixed but generally more positive recent record, showing three wins and two losses in their last five competitive matches. Their defeats came against strong Champions League opposition (Inter and Tottenham), which doesn’t diminish their Bundesliga form where they secured vital wins against 1.

Betting Analysis & Tips
Reviewing the provided Wolfbet odds for this Bundesliga clash, Borussia Dortmund are clear favourites at 1.7 for an away win, which aligns with their superior form, stronger squad, and dominant head-to-head record against Wolfsburg. The home win for VfL Wolfsburg is priced at a substantial 4.2, reflecting their ongoing struggles, particularly their defensive frailties highlighted by an average of 2.8 goals conceded per game. A draw at 4.0 also seems less likely, given that none of their recent encounters have ended in a stalemate. The „Over/Under 3.0 goals” market presents an interesting opportunity, with Over 3.0 priced at 1.92 and Under 3.0 at 1.88. Considering Wolfsburg’s high concession rate and Dortmund’s attacking prowess, coupled with their recent high-scoring Bundesliga games and historical H2H results, the 'Over’ market looks appealing. The significant injuries for Wolfsburg, especially in defense, further tilt the scales towards a higher-scoring affair, making the Over 3.0 goals a value bet.
| Market | Selection | Odds | Value Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match Result | VfL Wolfsburg | 4.2 | Poor Value |
| Draw | Draw | 4.0 | Poor Value |
| Match Result | Borussia Dortmund | 1.7 | Good Value |

Final Prediction
Based on current form, key statistics, and a dominant head-to-head record, Borussia Dortmund are strongly positioned to secure a comfortable victory over VfL Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg’s defensive struggles, amplified by crucial absences, are likely to be exploited by Dortmund’s potent attack. We anticipate BVB to control the tempo and convert their chances, leading to a multi-goal triumph. Given the trends, a final score in the range of 1-3 or 0-3 seems plausible, with Dortmund’s offensive strength overpowering the hosts’ fragile defense.
| Predicted Score | VfL Wolfsburg 1-3 Borussia Dortmund |
