Preview: VfL Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Bundesliga 2025-26
Niko Kovac returns to the Volkswagen Arena for the first time after leaving VfL Wolfsburg.
The Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg gears up to host Matchweek 21 of the Bundesliga, where the home team, VfL Wolfsburg, lock horns against Borussia Dortmund.
With just five points and three spots above the relegation zone, the Wolfsburg outfit must clinch a victory to keep their survival hopes alive. They are winless in their last three games. They are led by Daniel Bauer, who has taken the reins from Paul Simonis, after he was discharged from his duties a few months ago.
Dortmund are placed second in the Bundesliga table, and they need a win badly to reduce the six-point deficit with table toppers Bayern. They are on a winning streak of four games and are coming after a win over Heidenheim. They are led by Niko Kovac, who will be up against his former side in a familiar venue.
