Wolfsburg, Recent FormThe Wolfsburg squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Union Berlin, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Union Berlin's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Manager Niko Kovač will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Of the 18 games they have played at home this season, they have scored in 9 of them, but they've conceded at least one goal in 18 of their 21 games both home and away.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at The Volkswagen Arena, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 4 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Borussia Dortmund, Recent FormLast time out, Borussia Dortmund recorded an impressive 3-0 home win against Freiburg. They came away from that fixture with a 66% share of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 8 on target, in comparison to Freiburg, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It's clear that Edin Terzić, their manager, will be very satisfied with his side's performance over the last 6 matches, a spell which has seen them notch up 14 goals and only give 2 away. Away from home, they are currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets, and they've scored in 19 of their 21 games overall this season.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
On an individual basis, Niklas Füllkrug will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Borussia Dortmund's last 6 league games.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-0 win for Borussia Dortmund.
In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, Wolfsburg have failed to score a single goal against Die Borussen. Playing away from home, Dortmund have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Wolfsburg. In their recent meetings Dortmund have had no problem breaking down Die Wölfe's defence, having found the back of the net 16 times in their last 5 games.
Wolfsburg has lost the last 2 times they've faced Dortmund in the league.
Wolfsburg manager Niko Kovač has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Koen Casteels (Back), Lukas Nmecha (Knee surgery), Tiago Tomás (Elbow), Aster Vranckx (Thigh) and Patrick Wimmer (Ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Edin Terzić has a number of injury concerns in his Dortmund squad to contend with: Julien Duranville (Thigh), Felix Nmecha (Hip) and Salih Özcan (Fever)
