Team News

Wolfsburg
Borussia Dortmund
  • Lukas Nmecha is back in training after knee surgery, while Aster Vranckx has a thigh injury.
  • Patrick Wimmer is nearing a return from an ankle injury, while Tiago Tomas has an elbow injury.
  • Koen Casteels is struggling with a back injury, while Sebastiaan Bornauw has been suffering with bad headaches.

Prediction

  • Fourth-placed Dortmund featured in a goalless draw for the first time in 147 games in their last away game in Heidenheim recently.
  • Wolfsburg are winless in six games, their worst ever run under boss Nico Kovac and just two wins in their last 15 games.
  • Dortmund will have one eye on their winnable Champions League first leg against PSV next week.
  • The reverse fixture ended 1-0 in Dortmund's favour and a similar result is on the cards here to push former Bayern boss Kovac to the brink of losing his job.
