Prediction: 2-1
Bochum
After surviving Preussen Munster in their DFB Pokal opener, Wolfsburg will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Bochum in the opening match of the new Bundesliga season. The Wolves are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and despite their poor displays in pre-season, Marc van Bommel’s troops are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash.
Switzerland international Admir Mehmedi, who has overcome a muscle injury, is pushing for a start, while key attacker Wout Weghorst is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. The newcomers, on the other hand, are eager to impress on their return to the German top flight, but they will have a mountain to climb in the season opener. Former Partizan attacker Takuma Asano is likely to make his Bundesliga debut with Bochum against Wolfsburg.
