⁠Wolfsburg vs Dortmund Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Black and Yellow will next face Wolfsburg after defeat against Augsburg.

Borussia Dortmund will take a trip to the Volkswagen Arena to face off against Wolfsburg in their DFB Pokal RO16 clash. The Black and Yellow have experienced a major dip in form and are desperate to bounce back to winning ways. It has been a week to forget for BVB. It began with a Champions League heartbreak against Real Madrid where they gave away a 0-2 lead followed by a defeat against Augsburg in the Bundesliga.

Wolfsburg are also struggling to find their mojo and have been highly inconsistent this season. They have put up a mixed run of performances and have failed to stick to their basics. The Wolves dropped unexpected points against the latest entrants St. Pauli after losing 4-2 to Werder Bremen in their previous outing. They do have a chance but will need to be wary of Dortmund’s overpowered attacking unit.

Players to watch 

Kamil Grabara (VfL ⁠Wolfsburg)

The keeper has been one of the best performers for Wolfsburg this season. Grabara has turned out to be a good signing for Wolves and has dropped in consistent performances between the sticks and has made a difference for his side. He is a sweeper keeper who is known for his lightning-quick reflexes and commanding presence at the back. He is averaging 4 saves per game in the Bundesliga this season.

Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund)

Serhou Guirassy has emerged as BVB’s best signing of the summer. He has not left any stones unturned and has performed way beyond everyone’s expectations. The Guinean international has been on fire and has scored 12 goals for both club and country across all competitions this season. His finishing, anchor play and positioning make him a standout performer for his side.
