Wolfsburg vs Dortmund predictions for Saturday’s Bundesliga fixture at Volkswagen Arena. The hosts look to bounce back after a string of poor results, while the visitors are also in need of a lift following their continental loss in the week. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
It’s been hard to catch Wolfsburg on the right day this season. At times, they’ve been very good, with their wins against both Leverkusen and Leipzig standing out, then on other occasions, they’ve disappointed massively, such as when they drew at Arminia last weekend or lost at home to Freiburg at the back end of last month.
In matches against teams currently residing inside the top half, Wolfsburg have a mixed record as well. As touched on above, they recorded pleasing wins against both Leverkusen and Leipzig, but they’ve lost each of their other three fixtures against top-half teams.
There’s been a severe level of unpredictability when Dortmund play on the road this season. Like Wolfsburg at home, you never quite know which BVB will turn up. They’ve won two and lost three, recording back-to-back away wins at no point. One thing that has always been guaranteed is excitement, while there’s rarely a lack of goals when the boys in Yellow turn up away from home.
Only one of Dortmund’s five travelling matches has produced less than three goals, while they’ve conceded and scored in four out of five too, so it would be little surprise if the crowd at Volkswagen Arena were treated to plenty of goalmouth action on Saturday afternoon.
In the betting, the hosts make plenty of appeal at an attractive price. We know that Dortmund have the quality to beat anybody in this league on their day, but their day hasn’t come all that often away from home this year, and we’ve seen how vulnerable they can be, especially from a defensive point of view. Wolfsburg have been up and down too, but given their previous wins against similar opposition, they deserve more respect than a price of 15/8 on home soil.
If you’re looking for some value ahead of this fixture, with less goals conceded and a considerably better average expected goal difference than the visitors on the road, Wolfsburg are worthy of support.
