Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim face each other at Volkswagen Arena on Saturday afternoon in what is expected to be a close Bundesliga game. The Wolves aim to build on back-to-back wins over Greuther Furth (4-1) and Eintracht Frankfurt (2-0), and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach. Keep in mind, though, that all Micky van de Ven, Marvin Stefaniak, Lukas Nmecha, Paulo Otavio, Xaver Schlager, and William are out of contention through injuries.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, returned to winning ways at the weekend as they defeated Arminia Bielefeld 2-0 in front of home fans. Sebastian Hoenes’ troops, though, are not regarded as good travelers, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Wolfsburg’s party at Volkswagen Arena. Both Dennis Geiger and Florian Grillitsch are banned for the visiting side, while Andrej Kramaric has been tested positive for COVID-19.
Highlighted Player (Admir Mehmedi):
Born in FYR Macedonia, Admir Mehmedi moved to Switzerland with his parents at the age of 2, and no wonder he decided to represent the Rossocrociati at international level. The forward made a name for himself at FC Zurich, scoring 19 goals in 84 league outings to catch the eye of bigger clubs.
Mehmedi surprisingly opted to join Dynamo Kiev in January 2012, but he would soon leave war-torn Ukraine, signing a permanent deal with Bundesliga outfit Freiburg after impressing while on season-long loan. As Freiburg got relegated to the second division, the forward was given a chance to remain in the top flight by Bayer Leverkusen, and he grabbed it with both hands despite knowing that it would not be easy for him to secure regular playing time.
In spite of the lack of first team action at Bay Arena, Mehmedi remained a part of the Switzerland national team, mostly due to his versatility and being able to operate on either wing or as second striker. He has so far made over 40 outings for Nati, making four appearances and scoring one goal at the 2014 World Cup.
