Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Full Time Result – Wolfsburg to Win – 2.70
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Team Goals – Wolfsburg to Score Over 1.5 Goals – 2.30
Wolfsburg to Win
This looks like a good opportunity for the hosts, who’ve improved somewhat over the last few weeks. What’s more, they’ve now gone two home games without losing, conceding just one goal in the process. This improved defensive record bodes well ahead of a game against a visiting side that has been conceding an awful lot on the road, shipping ten in their last five, conceding two or more in four of those five.
Wolfsburg to Score Over 1.5 Goals
As touched on above, keeping things tight at the back hasn’t really been Hoffenheim’s forte on the road. They’ve conceded two or more in each of their last three away games, as well as in eight of their last ten, conceding an average of 2.00 goals away from home this campaign. Consider this in conjunction with Wolfsurg’s recent upturn in attacking form and home goals are worth supporting at a decent price.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Wolfsburg vs Hoffenheim
For some time, it looked as though Wolfsburg, who were finding it tough to impose themselves offensively, were slipping towards a very unflattering league position, and not for the first time in recent years, though over the last couple of weeks, Florian Kohfeldt’s men have turned things around, so much so that they’re just four points off a place in the top half.
After beating bottom-of-the-pile Furth, scoring four goals in the process, Wolfsburg kicked on last week, beating Frankfurt away from home. Such a victory will have done wonders for the confidence of Saturday’s hosts, who have re-found their attacking mojo since resigning Max Kruse last month.The German forward led the line superbly last time out and has seemingly given those around him a lift too.
Like the hosts, Hoffenheim had also been on the slide until recently, but the boys chasing a place in the Europa League bounced back last time out, scoring two goals on route to a relatively simpy, victory against Arminia Bielefeld. Sebastian Hoeneß will be hoping his side can use that win as a platform from which to build.
On the road, it’s been a mixed bag this season, while recent results haven’t really gone their way. The visitors have lost each of their last two travelling fixtures, conceding four goals in the process. In fact, conceding goals on the road is becoming something of a serious problem for the men in blue, which isn’t exactly positive news ahead of a game against a side reinvigorated by recent attacking success.
Safe bet
If a ‘safe’ option is what you’re looking for then take ‘Wolfsburg Draw No Bet’. The visitors have won just two their last ten travelling matches.

Hoffenheim: Baumann, Vogt, Grillitsch, Hubner, Bebou, Samassekou, Geiger, Raum, Dabbur, Baumgartner, Rutter.
Highlighted Player
Max Kruse
The impact made by Kruse is already evident. The German international is already the focal point of attack for Wolfsburg, as an average of 0.89 expected goals and assists combined suggests. There’s little reason why the forward, who had five goals and four assists to his name before switching in January, can’t match his Union Berlin form in a Wolfsburg shirt.
