Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Volkswagen Arena will host Saturday’s football game between Wolfsburg and Hertha Berlin, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Bundesliga table. Both sides aim to escape the danger zone, but Wolfsburg are seen as favourites to win the match. The Wolves are desperate to put an end to their six-game losing run, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field this time out. The likes of Nmecha, Otavio, Schlager, Mehmedi, and Vranckx are out of contention with injuries.
The capital club, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Koln, and seeing that Wolfsburg produce much better showings at home than on the travels, we predict that Florian Kohfeldt’s troops are going to pick up all three points from the match. To make things even worse for the visitors, both Suat Serdar and Kevin-Prince Boateng are banned for the game.
