Borussia Dortmund and VfL Wolfsburg will face each other in the Bundesliga this coming weekend. The match between Die Schwarzgelben and Die Weißgrünen will be held at Signal Iduna Park and is scheduled to kick off at 4:30pm UK time on Sunday.

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund have not won the Bundesliga title for a while now, but things could change for Die Schwarzgelben. With defending Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich not having the best of times even under new head coach Thomas Tuchel, there is a very good chance that Dortmund could beat the Bavarian giants to the league title.

Dortmund are second in the Bundesliga table at the moment with 61 points from 30 matches. They are only a point behind leaders Bayern and five points ahead of third-placed 1. FC Union Berlin. It is safe to say that Edin Terzic’s side are the only genuine challengers to Bayern for the Bundesliga crown in the final weeks of the season.

Die Borussen will head into the Bundesliga match against VfL Wolfsburg at home this coming weekend on the back of a 1-1 draw with VfL Bockhum on the road in the league. It came after a 4-0 hammering of Eintracht Frankfurt in front of their own fans in the Bundesliga and followed a 3-3 draw with VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.

Team News:

Borussia Dortmund are likely to line up in a 4-3-3 formation. Kobel will be in goal for the home side, while Haller will lead the line. Malen and Adeyemi will complete the front-three.

VfL Wolfsburg

VfL Wolfsburg are an established club in the Bundesliga who tend to finish in mid-table. Die Wölfe ended up 12th in the league table last season, but there is a very good chance that they could finish in the top half of the standings this time around.

Niko Kovac’s side are seventh in the Bundesliga table at the moment with 46 points rom 30 matches. VfL Wolfsburg are two points behind sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen and have a strong chance of qualifying for Europe next season.

VfL Wolfsburg will head into the Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund away from home this coming weekend on the back of a 3-0 victory over Mainz in front of their own fans. It came after a 5-1 hammering of VfL Bockhum on the road in the league and followed a goalless draw with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

Team News:

VfL Wolfsburg are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Wind will lead the line for the visiting team. Casteels will be in goal for VfL Wolfsburg, who will have Wimmer and Svanberg in attacking midfield.

Key Factors to Consider

• Borussia Dortmund have won 2 of their last 5 Bundesliga games.
• VfL Wolfsburg have won their last 2 Bundesliga games.
• VfL Wolfsburg have conceded 37 goals in 30 Bundesliga matches.
• Borussia Dortmund have scored 67 goals in 30 Bundesliga matches.
• Julian Brandt has scored 8 goals and given 5 assists in 28 Bundesliga games this season.

Conclusion

While Borussia Dortmund’s recent form has been patchy, they do have a much superior team to that of VfL Wolfsburg and should be able to pick up all three points from the Bundesliga match, especially as it is at home. Dortmund are the main challengers to Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title now, and they should get the job done against VfL Wolfsburg this coming weekend.
