Dortmund vs Wolfsburg Match Preview

Dortmund faces Wolfsburg for the 15th round of the German Bundesliga at Signal-Iduna-Park.

The hosts are in bad shape, coming from 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 defeats in the last 5 rounds. They are currently ranked 5th in the league table, being just 2 points below from today's opponent.

Dortmund will play for another game without their key striker E. Haaland, whose missing cost them many points in the last few rounds. He started training a few days ago, so he will be back fully fit soon enough. In today's match, he will start from the bench as a probable substitute.

Wolfsburg made a great start this season in the Bundesliga, having just one defeat from the champions Bayern Munich, by 2-1 at Allianz Arena. After 13 rounds played in the league, they are ranked 4th in the table, having a total of 6 points difference from the league leaders, Bayern Munich, and 4 points from Leverkusen and Leipsig.

Today's missings from Wolfsburg are the midfielder M. Philipp due to injury, as well as M. Lacroix and J. Roussillon who were tested positive for Covid-19.

An exciting match is expected here, between two sides that will go head to head for the 4th spot of the standings, which gives the last ticket to the next season's UEFA Champions League. At home, Dortmund won half of their games so far (3-0-3), however, their big issue of the last weeks is E. Haaland's injury as the promising 16yo Y. Moukoko is not ready yet to replace the important missing of the Norvegian striker.

We've seen how strong Wolfsburg can be this season, and I don't think it will be an easy task for Dortmund here. Considering the performance of these two sides who seem quite equal so far, my pick is Wolfsburg to win in this one, with the offered odds being massive at 5.75.
