Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund: Match Prediction
In the first half of the season, Wolfsburg managed a respectable result in Dortmund, losing to Borussia Dortmund 0:1. Repeating that at home will be difficult. Daniel Bauer's side have taken points in only three of their last eight home matches in the Bundesliga, and two of those fixtures came against relegation-zone sides St. Pauli and Heidenheim. But even against those opponents, the club conceded. What is more, at home the team have not recorded a single clean sheet in the league this season, and almost every representative from the European places has scored at least three goals against the hosts. Borussia Dortmund have been producing that kind of output in five straight matches in this competition.
Leaders Bayern Munich, who face third-placed Hoffenheim in the upcoming round, are getting closer. Borussia Dortmund need to win, which does not look like an overly difficult task given the head-to-head history against Wolfsburg. Borussia Dortmund have beaten the upcoming opponent in 13 of the last 15 Bundesliga meetings (1 win, 1 draw). Niko Kovač's side are in good form and should collect all three points in a high-scoring game.
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund to win and over 2.5 goals
