Borussia Dortmund vs Wolfsburg Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 23rd September 2023

Borussia Dortmund enjoy home advantage, when visitors Wolfsburg swing by on Saturday for a clash in the Bundesliga. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

Wolfsburg are currently ahead of Borussia Dortmund by one point in the Bundesliga table. While the visitors are number six with nine points, the hosts have one point less at number seven.

At their last meeting, Borussia Dortmund earned three points against Wolfsburg. No doubt, they expect to repeat this performance when they meet again this coming Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund scored 29 goals, conceded ten and claimed four clean sheets in their last ten outings.

Wolfsburg scored 18 goals, conceded 17 and managed two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Their latest encounter in the Bundesliga was a belter of a game, which finished with a 6-0 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund vs Wolfsburg Prediction

Borussia Dortmund Form

Borussia Dortmund have seen it all in their last three matches, which added four points to their account. They first shared the points in a 2-2 draw with FC Heidenheim, before claiming 3 points in a 2-4 win against Freiburg. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 2-0 defeat at the hands of PSG. Borussia Dortmund won four of their past six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga, where they also drew twice and went undefeated. They scored 20 goals and conceded six times.

Borussia Dortmund would probably consider anything lower than at least a second place finish a disappointment. The hosts have one eye on a title challenge and know a good start is imperative.

Wolfsburg Form

Six points is Wolfsburg have to show from their past three matches, as they beat FC Koln by 1-2. This was followed by a 3-1 defeat against Hoffenheim, before winning 2-1 against Union Berlin. In their last six away matches in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg won twice, while also recording zero draws. They endured four defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying 15 goals conceded and eight scored.

Wolfsburg hope to be contesting for a place in an international tournament in a season, where a top half finish looks like the minimum outcome.

Bookmakers have Borussia Dortmund down as rather big favourites for the win, when Wolfsburg arrive at Signal Iduna Park. While it might prove problematic, we still believe they will come through and deliver.
