VfL Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Die Wolfe have been in some fine form lately.

VfL Wolfsburg’s four-match winning streak came to an end in the last match against Freiburg. However, they now have a chance to get back to winning ways. They take on Borussia Dortmund at the Volkswagen Arena on Sunday in Round 15 of the Bundesliga action.

VfL Wolfsburg have been in some form recently winning four matches in a row. But they suffered a setback in the last match as they lost a five-goal thriller against Freiburg. Goals from Jonas Wind and Mattias Svanberg were not enough after conceding three goals within 60 minutes. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side’s recent revival of form has seen them move tenth in the Bundesliga standings. 

Borussia Dortmund on the other hand after a good start to the season have suffered a dip in form as they have failed to win any of their last three league matches. In the last three matches, they have played three consecutive draws against Bayern Munich, Borussia Monchengladbach and Hoffenheim. This result of form has seen them drop to eight in the table as Nuri Sahin aims to close the gap at the top.

Players to Watch

Mohamed Amoura (⁠VfL Wolfsburg)

Mohamed Amoura has been one of the most impressive players in the team. He has consistently delivered the goals for the team scoring five goals in 12 appearances while also adding another six assists. While he is primarily a striker, Amoura can also play efficiently with a two-striker system. In his last four matches, he has registered three goals and one assist. 

Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund)

The summer signing from Stuttgart has hit the ground running for them. The Guinea striker has scored 12 goals from 18 appearances this season in all competitions, leading the goal-scoring chart. He had a brilliant outing against Barcelona where his brace was not enough for them to pick a point. Nevertheless, he will be hoping to add a few goals here and play an important part in the team.
