Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
There will be fireworks when Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund go head to head at Volkswagen Arena on Matchday 31. The Wolves quickly bounced back from a 3-2 loss to Bayern Munchen, with the team moving one step closer to booking their place in the Champions League thanks to a 3-1 win at Stuttgart. Wolfsburg are high on confidence ahead of the visit of Borussia Dortmund, and we are positive that they will find the net in Saturday’s clash.
Renato Steffen should be the only absentee in the home team. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team recording a win in each of their previous three league fixtures. Given their attacking potential, we are positive that Erling Haland and Co. are going to find the net against Wolfsburg. Mats Hummels is banned for the match.

Born in Chene-Bougeries, Switzerland on April 19, 1995, Kevin Mbabu is a defender who plays for Young Boys. Mbabu started his youth career at Servette and he continued playing for les Grenats at senior level. However, it has to be noted that he made no more than one appearance for Servette in the league during the 2012/2013 season.

Mbabu is eligible to play for Switzerland, DR Congo and France due to his mixed descent, but he decided to represent the Rossocrociati at senior level. Mbabu made his Switzerland debut in September, 2018 in a 6-0 win over Iceland. His contract with Young Boys should expire in June, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Borussia Dortmund):
1909 by eighteen footballers from Dortmund. Die Schwarzgelben (The Black and Yellows) play their home games at Signal Iduna Park, but the stadium’s original name is Westfalenstadion. The capacity of Borussia’s home ground is 81,539 and it has to be noted that the stadium was opened in 1974. BVB have the highest average attendance in the world of football.
Borussia Dortmund have won eight Bundesliga trophies, while clinching the German Cup title three times.
However, the club’s biggest success came in 1997 when they outplayed Juventus in the Champions League final. Karl-Heinz Riedle scored a brace for BVB in the 3-1 win over Juve, with Lars Ricken finding the net in the title game as well. Borussia’s biggest rivals are Schalke 04 and the two teams square off against each other in the Revierderby.
