Borussia Dortmund – Wolfsburg Match Prediction

Match Analysis

Nico Kovac’s men have generally made a strong start to the current championship, already securing two victories. Borussia Dortmund also came close to collecting three points against St. Pauli in the first round, but conceded twice while playing with ten men, allowing the opponent to equalize. Overall, the club performs exceptionally well on home turf, having won their last five matches at home.

Wolfsburg’s away form has been inconsistent; in their last six away league games, they have managed only two victories (1 draw, 3 losses). Moreover, the opponents they defeated were not top-tier teams: Borussia Mönchengladbach and Heidenheim. It’s also worth noting that recent head-to-head encounters with Dortmund have been particularly unsuccessful for Wolfsburg: they have lost all of their last seven matches when playing at Borussia’s home ground.

Final Verdict

I anticipate the home side will secure all three points in this fixture. My prediction is: Borussia Dortmund Win with odds 1.50
