Prediction
Wolfsburg have won their last four games in a row and are in good form,
especially at home. They want to reach a Europa League spot and a result
against Dortmund would be a huge step forward.
Dortmund are unbeaten in their last 22 Bundesliga games. The team is
full of confidence and want to keep Bayern away from them in the table.
The Bavarians are three points behind, so a win against Wolfsburg would
be crucial ahead of the big game against Munich next week.
Expect Dortmund to try to take control of the game from the outset.
Wolfsburg will probably defend deep and wait for their chances on the
break.
Wolfsburg 1 - 1 Borussia Dortmund
