Wolfsburg to win

Wolfsburg are without a win this season and Niko Kovac’s players will be motivated to snatch the three points at Volkswagen Arena. In addition, the Wolves have won their last 4 matches against Schalke.

Both to score – No

Schalke failed to win in their last 8 away matches. Moreover, they couldn’t find a net against Wolfsburg in the previous 3 h2h meetings.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Wolfsburg vs Schalke

Wolfsburg suffered defeat to the reigning champions Bayern Munich last week (0:2). However, despite a loss, Niko Kovac’s side showed a decent performance.

The Wolves players will be under intense pressure, as they are yet to taste victory in the new Bundesliga season (D1, L1).

The good news are that Wolfsburg have won the last four encounters against Schalke.

On the other hand, the newly promoted Schalke have clinched their first points after Bundesliga’s comeback with an injury-time equaliser against Borussia Monchengladbach.

The Royal Blues may feel some confidence after getting their first point. However, it would be difficult for them to end a run of eight away Bundesliga defeats in a row.
