Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-2
Borussia Dortmund
All eyes will be on Volkswagen Arena when Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund lock horns in the Bundesliga round 15. The Wolves aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Freiburg and you should know that they are after their fourth consecutive win at home in all competitions. All Kevin Paredes, Lovro Majer, Rogerio, and Aster Vranckx are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, produced a poor display in a 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim at the weekend, with the team dropping to eighth place in the standings. Given Borussia’s poor away record (0-2-4) in the new Bundesliga campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Wolfsburg, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Soumalia Coulibaly remains on the sidelines with injury, while fellow defender Niklas Sule is rated doubtful for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Julian Brandt):
Julian Brandt is one of the most promising wingers in Germany. He started playing football in his hometown, Bremen, at SC Borgfeld, moving to FC Oberneuland, after which he joined VLF Wolfsburg’s youth academy. With 27 goals in his 48 games during two seasons with the Wolves, Brandt recommended himself to Bayer 04 Leverkusen, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract in January 2014.
The 22-year-old winger prefers to play on the left flank, but he can also provide help on the right side, as well as an attacking midfielder. During the season 2015/2016, Julian Brandt netted goals in six consecutive games, becoming the youngest player since Gerd Muller to achieve this.
The good performances in the season made Joackim Low call the youngster in Germany’s preliminary 27-man squad for the Euro 2016 and he made his first appearance for the senior squad in May 2016, against Slovakia. He was a part of the Germany squad at the Summer Olympics, where Brandt and his teammates won the silver medal. In the summer of 2018, Julian Brandt made the World Cup team.
Highlighted Team (Wolfsburg):
Wolfsburg are a German football club founded in the aftermath of the World War II (1945). Die Wolfe (The Wolves) wear green and white shirts and they play their home games at Volkswagen Arena. The capacity of the stadium is 30,000 and it was opened on 13 December, 2002.
It is well known that German car manufacturer Volkswagen are the club’s main sponsors. Wolfsburg won the Bundesliga trophy in 2009 and the likes of Edin Dzeko, Grafite and Zvjezdan Misimovic were part of the club’s golden generation.
You should bear in mind that Grafite and Dzeko scored 54 goals between each other in the 2008/2009 Bundesliga campaign and that the team clinched the trophy thanks to a 5-1 win over Werder Bremen on 23 May, 2009. Die Wolfe won the German Cup trophy in 2015, with the team beating star-studded Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the title game. Wolfsburg are a team that has no bitter rivals in German football.
