Hoffenheim have seen both sides of the coin already this season in the Bundesliga, and will out to double up on their share of wins in the coming match.

Hoffenheim vs Wolfsburg Prediction

Hoffenheim Form

Hoffenheim added two wins to their account in their three most recent outings, as they beat Luebeck by 1-4. Their next match left them empty-handed in a 1-2 defeat against Freiburg, followed up by a 2-3 win against FC Heidenheim. Hoffenheim won four of their past six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga, where they also lost twice but drew none. They scored 14 goals and conceded nine times.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Wolfsburg might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Bundesliga looks the most realistic scenario.

Wolfsburg Form

In their last three matches, Wolfsburg first beat TuS Makkabi Berlin 0-6, then FC Heidenheim by 2-0 and finally FC Koln by 1-2. Wolfsburg won three of a possible six away matches in the Bundesliga, as well as playing zero draws and suffering three defeats. They scored eight while also conceding 12 times.

Hoffenheim go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in an international competition.

Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg looks like an equal pairing, and since it's difficult to separate one from the other currently, we wouldn't be surprised by a draw.
