Borussia Dortmund vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 06/05/2023, 12:34  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Prediction

Borussia Dortmund are a point behind league leader Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and will be hoping to keep their title challenge alive when they host Wolfsburg in a tricky league tie. Second placed Dortmund lost key ground in their 1-1 draw with Bochum last time out and will hope seventh placed Wolfsburg doesn’t serve more frustration. Dortmund are unbeaten in the last four matches but two draws in that run have left them short in the title race. Eight more points from the remaining four matches will secure second place for Dortmund but given the tight nature of the title race they will feel this season should have offered more. Dortmund have had a great run at home heading into this game, with five straight league wins and having scored two or more goals in each one of the five matches. However, they have just one clean sheet in the five home league games and each of the five matches has produced over 2.5 goals.

Wolfsburg won 2-0 in their last meeting with Borussia Dortmund – that was the first time in nine meetings that they avoided defeat against Dortmund. As they seek to actualize their ambition to play in Europe next season, this will be a key game, and just like Dortmund seek three points, Wolfsburg will have that as a key target. A 3-0 win over Mainz in the last game will be a good motivation going into this game. That was Wolfsburg’s second straight win and a third straight unbeaten outing. Going into this game, they have only lost once in five matches but have just two wins and as many clean sheets. Three of Wolfsburg’s last five matches have had over 2.5 goals and they’ve done better away from home, with three wins in five. With three clean sheets in five away matches, Wolfsburg will feel they have the cover needed for Dortmund’s attack, which has done well at home.
