Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
All eyes will be on Volkswagen Arena when Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund face each other in the Bundesliga round 13. The Wolves aim to climb to the Champions League berth, but they face a difficult task in Saturday’s football match. Defender Maxence Lacroix returns from suspension, while all Renato Steffen, Xaver Schlager, William, and Bartosz Bialek should miss out with injuries.
Borussia Dortmund defeated Stuttgart 2-1 without injured ace Erling Haland in the starting XI, but beating Wolfsburg on the road is easier said than done. The Wolves defeated Augsburg in their last home fixture, and they are surely capable of holding Marco Rose’s men to a draw. Thorgan Hazard is a major doubt (coronavirus), while all Giovanni Reyna, Mateu Morey, Marcel Schmelzer, Nico Schulz, Marius Wolf, and Dan-Axel Zagadou remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Kevin Mbabu):
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.
Kevin Mbabu then joined Premier League side Newcastle United and after spending two seasons on loan at Rangers and Young Boys, he signed a permanent deal with the Stade de Suisse outfit in 2017. His main position right back, but he is used as both centre and left back as well.
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.
