Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund: Match Prediction
In the reverse fixture, Wolfsburg managed a respectable result in Dortmund, losing to Borussia Dortmund 0:1. Repeating that at home will be difficult. Daniel Bauer's team have taken points in only three of their last eight home Bundesliga matches, and two of those came against relegation-zone sides St. Pauli and Heidenheim. However, even against those opponents the club conceded. More than that, the team have not recorded a single clean sheet at home in the league this season, and virtually every representative of the European places scored at least three against the hosts. Borussia Dortmund have been producing that level of firepower in five straight matches in this competition.
The leaders from Munich, who face third-placed Hoffenheim in the upcoming round, are getting closer. Borussia Dortmund need a win, which does not look too demanding given the head-to-head record against Wolfsburg. Borussia Dortmund have beaten their upcoming opponents in 13 of the last 15 Bundesliga meetings (one win, one draw for Wolfsburg). Niko Kovac's side are in good form and should take three points in a high-scoring game.
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund to win + Over 2.5 goals
