Substitute Adeyemi then took matters into his own hands with two goals in four minutes. He struck in the 69th, two minutes after coming on, following a superb solo 35-metre run and then made it 4-0 with a similar effort to put the game to bed.  With the Wolves in a lethargic form and winless since March 1st Dortmund did not need to do much to come out of this match with the three points After Guirassy scored the first goal only a few minutes in Borussia Dortmund struggled a little in the first half forcing the game through the flanks when there was space in the middle and BVB opened Pandora's Box for the Wolves With Serhou scoring his second early into the half which allowed the star substitute Karim Adeyemi to score two bangers that sealed the match for the Yellow Wall BVB kept their European and even Champions League aspirations more alive than ever Here are three takeaways from Dortmund's massive 4-nil win over Wolfsburg: 32 and counting...Yeah, I guess he was worth the pricetag 🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/Wg6l36Ogx7 Serhou Guirassy scored 32 goals in the 2024/2025 season for Borussia Dortmund until this moment in time; numbers that truly speak for themselves Guirassy proves game in and out that he can deliver the goals Borussia Dortmund needs to reach glory and his issue with holding the ball for too long BVB fans know that if he is in front of the opponent's goal Guirassy is one of the most lethal strikers in Europe I didn't even notice Karim coming in lolLets gooooooo pic.twitter.com/KRikhKdNvZ Karim Adeyemi had an immediate impact once coming in the second half I commented briefly on the need for Adeyemi to come in With fewer spaces for Jamie Gittens to break into Wolfsburg's defense the game called for someone fast and effective in central areas Feel like we need Adeyemi for this one...This match does not favor Gittens with space at all while Karim is way deadlier in central areas.. I feel the urge to say 'I told you so.' Karim Adeyemi also scored two golaços and what seemed to be an easy game already became a walk in the park for Borussia Dortmund as much as Gittens has improved a lot this season and his playing time could be related to boosting his pricetag for the summer Adeyemi cannot be benched in the past two matches Karim "The Dream" Adeyemi is simply the perfect scheme fit for the team right now Pascal Groß Signature 🪄 pic.twitter.com/0S7zkwWTe6 Pascal Groß has been a key piece for Borussia Dortmund in this run of good matches the German international seems to have finally flourished in Black and Yellow becoming a central component of the midfield With a beautiful assist to Guirassy's second score of the day taking three Wolfsburg defenders out of their senses and making life way too simple for the Guinean striker His experience and consistency in possession are a great combination that adds an extra layer of danger to Dortmund's attack dynamics I am glad that Groß is at last finding a reason to smile at Signal Iduna Park © 2025 Minute Media - All Rights Reserved The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands All picks and predictions are suggestions only and not a guarantee of success or profit If you or someone you know has a gambling problem crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER 32 and counting...Yeah, I guess he was worth the pricetag 🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/Wg6l36Ogx7 I didn't even notice Karim coming in lolLets gooooooo pic.twitter.com/KRikhKdNvZ Pascal Groß Signature 🪄 pic.twitter.com/0S7zkwWTe6 The Black and Yellows won their fourth game in a row and a key one for BVB's European aspirations Guirassy continued his impressive goal scoring form todayLARS BARON / GETTY IMAGES EUROPE / Getty Images via AFPBraces from Serhou Guirassy and Karim Adeyemi helped Niko Kovac’s Borussia Dortmund to a clinical 4-0 victory against his former club VfL Wolfsburg, extending BVB’s unbeaten Bundesliga run to six games (W5, D1) as they climbed to fourth in the table.A late-season resurgence has seen Dortmund climb into European contention starting the contest in sixth with hopes of UEFA Champions League (UCL) qualification a genuine possibility With momentum on their side, it took the hosts just three minutes to break the deadlock, netting through Guirassy, who collected the ball in the box and kept his composure to wrongfoot Kamil Grabara with a precise finish Soon after, an offside in the build-up meant that Andreas Skov Olsen’s back-post header wouldn’t have counted had he directed it on target a chance which proved to be one of very few in a rather low-key first half Dortmund were unable to build on their advantage before half-time failing to carve out further clear-cut opportunities Dortmund looked to impose themselves on the match after the restart As the hour mark approached, they did just that as Pascal Gross produced a moment of brilliance executing an exceptional Cruyff turn that opened up the space to pick out Guirassy who swept home first-time from close range Now playing with added confidence, the hosts were celebrating again thanks to substitute Adeyemi’s skillful dribble and emphatic finish, putting the game beyond Wolfsburg any lingering doubts were firmly put to bed as Adeyemi again displayed his tight control carrying the ball into the box before netting a second on his 100th BVB appearance With the game now beyond them, Die Wölfe almost dug out a consolation courtesy of Mohamed Amoura’s bicycle kick but there was ultimately no silver lining for the visitors An efficient display sees Dortmund leapfrog SC Freiburg laying claim to the final UCL spot with just two games left albeit having played one more than their closest rivals an eighth consecutive Bundesliga encounter without victory (D2 L6) – the division’s longest current winless streak – leaves them 12th in the table with little left to play for Flashscore Man of the Match: Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund) Match statsStatsPerformCheck out the match summary here Borussia Dortmund’s surge up the Bundesliga table continues Having watched all results go their way this afternoon winning 4-0 against Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men and climbing into the top four Serhou Guirassy put Dortmund 1-0 up early in the game It wasn’t until an hour into the game that BVB seemed to get going and blew Wolfsburg away in the process followed by two lovely Karim Adeyemi efforts despite only really putting their foot on the gas in the final half hour Dortmund are now level with Freiburg on 51 points, but Freiburg will play Bayer Leverkusen tomorrow afternoon. BVB have a real shot at qualifying for the Champions League next season which is remarkable given where they were just a few weeks ago Here’s our nominations for MOTM in BVB’s 4-0 win against Wolfsburg Striker gets nominated for Man of the Match Brandt’s form has picked up in the last two games He picked up two assists this afternoon and was heavily involved in BVB’s best work This is the Julian Brandt we know and love Groß gets a nomination for the lovely turn for his assist in Guirassy’s second goal but I thought he had a solid game besides that naughty bit of skill Adeyemi was subbed into the game with a little over 20 minutes left He came on and scored two excellent individual goals Will BVB do the unthinkable and qualify for the Champions League The Black and Yellows are currently in 6th place in the league which would qualify BVB for the UEFA Conference League for next season while RB Leipzig are one point ahead in 5th and Freiburg three points ahead in 4th BVB comes from three straight wins for the first time in the season with the hope of making it four in front of the Yellow Wall Borussia Dortmund will play Wolfsburg at the Westfalenstadion with the goal of keeping the run for European football alive is currently sitting in 12th place with 39 points nine points behind BVB on the Bundesliga table The Wolves find themselves in a difficult spot heading into the Signal Iduna Park as they haven't won a Bundesliga game since March 1st in the 2-1 away win against Bremen and with the mission to break a 7-match winless streak against Dortmund even though they are at no risk of relegation and have minimal hope to fight for Europe In regard to the squads ahead of this matchup Dortmund will have the return of Pascal Groß and Marcel Sabitzer Beier and Schlotterbeck are the only notable absences there is a long list of players out of the game are out on special leave and have a red card suspension Here is Dortmund's predicted lineup against Wolfsburg on Saturday: Gregor Kobel (GK) – With rumors circulating about Kobel's departure in the summer nothing better than focusing on qualifying for Europe and giving Gregor more than one reason to stay at the Signal Iduna Park Kobel is undoubtedly the only option for the goalkeeping spot and let's hope it continues like that after the season is over Niklas Süle (RCB) – Niklas Süle's resurgence seems to be back on track as the German international looks in his best form since the Barcelona second leg Following his great display against Hoffenheim he is an unquestionable starter at this point in time Waldemar Anton (CB) – After scoring the game-winner last week Waldemar Anton is another one with his confidence back up since Kovač implemented the back-three system he can keep those scoring manners in the next few matches Ramy Bensebaini (LCB) – Bensebaini has been unfortunate on a few occasions in the past weeks. Still, he managed to bounce back against Hoffenheim and he will be starting at the left-back role in the absence of Nico Schlotterbeck Julian Ryerson (RWB) – Julian Ryerson will likely prevail as a starter ahead of Yan Couto Even though the Brazilian has improved in the new role the Norwegian will remain the starter for now Felix Nmecha (CM) – Nmecha is getting back to shape again and will probably start once again he needs to be more proactive out of possession if he wishes to continue in the starting XI with the new formation Emre Can (CM) – Emre Can did not compromise as a central midfielder as much as he has been much more consistent as a center-back in that back-three formation Can will not allow Guirassy to take the penalty next time Julian Brandt (CAM) – Julian Brandt finally looked back in form this season. However, it is more like an oasis in a desert if we compare it to the rest of his performance in the current campaign. He will likely start in Beier's absence, but discussions remain about whether the club should keep him or not Daniel Svensson (LWB) – Daniel Svensson has been a glad surprise in Dortmund's winter transfer window the young Swede has been proving to be a great addition to the squad I wonder whether Bensebaini would start ahead of him Serhou Guirassy (ST) – Serhou Guirassy has been deadly this season hitting the 30 goals mark in the current campaign and let's pray that what happened against Hoffenheim and Barcelona in the first leg doesn't happen with Wolfsburg I think Karim Adeyemi will recover his starting spot ahead of Jamie Gittens for this one Gittens was playing well in the first half but some of his decision-making was lacking in the second ","https://fansided.com/",{"alt":"6m","src":"6n","url":"6o"},{"type":"6l","value":"6p"},"link","Minute Media","https://www.minutemedia.com/",{"text":"6s","url":"6t"},{"type":"6r","value":"6u"},"All Rights Reserved Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands Gregor Kobel (GK) – With rumors circulating about Kobel's departure in the summer Ramy Bensebaini (LCB) – Bensebaini has been unfortunate on a few occasions in the past weeks.

Nigeria’s former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised the arrest and ongoing detention of social… What a performance to cement your claim on a Champions League spot: Dortmund are fully back in contention for one of the four sought-after Champions League ranks after a deserved 4-0 victory over Wolfsburg Niko Kovač has prepared his team brilliantly against his former side Wolfsburg: at no point during the game was a BVB victory in question Here is a rundown of the Bundesliga top-match of matchday 32: one team got off to a brilliant start: Dortmund's top-striker Serhou Guirassy found the back of the net in the 3rd minute after an “accidental” assist by Julian Brandt but struggled to get into good scoring positions after the first goal who is rumoured to leave Wolfsburg at the end of the season couldn't get his team to use their strengths against Dortmund - BVB had full control over the game without extending their lead It was the 2nd half in which Dortmund made use of their dominance and scored more goals Guirassy scored his 2nd of the match after a brilliant assist from Pascal Groß in minute 59 After that it was Karim Adeyemi who stole the show in the Westfalen Stadion: he scored two goals in the 69th and in the 73rd minute BVB has managed to get the fans fully back on their side after some questionable performances during the season If they can keep up this energy and also this level of performance the qualification for the Champions League Wolfsburg on the other side are in no man's land of the Bundesliga table; their season is pretty much over since they can't qualify for any European competition anymore At least they don't have to worry about the relegation battle BVB will need a win just to stay within reach TV: None (US), Sky Sports Football (UK)

the Black and Yellows put four past Wolsfsburg in the Westfalenstadion Borussia Dortmund faced VfL Wolfsburg in another must-win game in their pursuit of European football but an early goal from Serhou Guirassy put Dortmund ahead The second half was where BVB showed their strength putting together a team goal for Guirassy’s second followed by a super-sub brace from Karim Adeyemi Wolfsburg became lethargic and never looked like they could fight back and now we must wait and see how other results go here are my Player Ratings for the 4-0 win Gregor Kobel (8/10) – Kobel didn’t have too much to do but he managed a pair of saves to earn his first clean sheet in two months Ramy Bensebaini (6/10) – Aside from assisting Adeyemi’s first goal leaving Svensson to cover for him on multiple occasions Waldemar Anton (8/10) – Anton had another strong game today leading the back line and winning all of his aerial duals Niklas Süle (7/10) – Süle is another player who has found new life under Niko Kovač He even had a great sprint toward the end of the match Daniel Svensson (6/10) - Svensson was all over the pitch today and he was pulled into defense a bit too much but his passing accuracy was below what we’ve come to expect from him Pascal Groß (7/10) – It was good to see Groß back as his midfield control brings stability to the side His best play was a cheeky assist to Guirassy for the second goal Felix Nmecha (7/10) -  Nmecha had a pretty quiet game but his pivot with Pascal Groß prevented a lot of attacking opportunities from forming in Wolsfburg’s attack Julian Ryerson (7/10) – Ryerson isn’t always the most creative player but he’s tenatious and can be quick when he needs to be but still managed three successful dribbles Julian Brandt (9/10) – Please don’t hate me for this rating Brandt provided the assist to Guirassy’s first goal His run to keep the ball in play ahead of Guriassy’s second goal was crucial to the goal itself Jamie Gittens (4/10) – Jamie looks like he has one foot out the door Serhou Guirassy (9/10) – For only having about one touch every three minutes in this game Guirassy was clinical when the ball was at his feet while the second was a masterful redirection of the ball Karim Adeyemi (10/10) – Adyemi was introduced as a second half substitute and scored twice while showing off some world-class dribbling Marcel Sabitzer (N/A) – None of these players was terribly influential It’s concerning how few minutes Chukwuemeka has played Niko Kovač (7/10) – I can only imagine Kovač’s choice to start Jamie Gittens comes from a place of optimism rather than pragmatism a characteristic usually more in tune with the Croat and BVB have limited opportunities to win matches but every player out there wants to play in Europe next season Yet it looks like Jamie Gittens doesn’t care we’re going to earn less from his transfer than if he rides the bench Our left flank was exploited and we got lucky a few times as the tactical adjustments Nico Kovač made helped BVB find that second goal Perhaps it was Kovač’s intent to wear down Wolfsburg then unleash Adeyemi to kill the game off on a fatigued back line

perform with the same energy as in recent weeks "The situation after my arrival wasn't easy But the boys have been developing very well since then If we achieve our goals at the end of the season

the club Winless in their last eight Bundesliga games Wolfsburg finally decided to pull the trigger as they sit down in 13th with two games remaining U19 coach Daniel Bauer will take charge of those final games with the highest Wolfsburg can finish being 9th The club released a statement confirming their decision saying: “VfL Wolfsburg and Ralph Hasenhüttl are going their separate ways after the 57-year-old was relieved of his duties as Wolves head coach with immediate effect on Sunday evening “Assistant coaches Craig Fleming and Patrick Hasenhüttl analyst Martin Raschick and Rainer Widmayer who has been acting as a link between the first team and the VfL academy are also leaving the Green-and-Whites’ coaching staff.” Wolfsburg have decided to let 5 players go in preparation for next season The most prominent name among these 5 is former German national team player Kevin Behrens His expiring contract is not being extended goalkeeper Niklas Klinger and midfield talent Bennit Bröger who is reportedly signing with Paderborn for next season Wolfsburg have terminated the contract of leftback Manuel Braun who is on loan at Waldhof Mannheim until June All those players have played a

Settings Sign In Sign InJoinBrilliance follows hard work as BVB beat Wolfsburg 4-0 | OneFootballBorussia Dortmund The scenario:   Sixth versus 12th. The team with the best form over the last five weeks against an opponent who had the longest winless run in the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg's last victory was a 2-1 away win in Bremen at the beginning of March, with two draws and five defeats since then. BVB had won six of their last six home games against VfL Personnel matters: Marcel Sabitzer was back after a seven-week injury lay-off and moved to the bench who had been ailing for a few weeks and had most recently played in midfield in the 3-2 win at Hoffenheim He was replaced by the other returning player who returned to his usual position in defensive midfield Coach Niko Kovac otherwise deployed the same formation as last weekend Tactics: Borussia played in a 3-4-2-1 formation with Gittens on the left flank and Brandt on the right Bensebaini and Süle repeatedly played a part in the attacking play The match & analysis:Borussia put the pressure on early on and soon celebrated an early goal Less than 180 seconds had passed when Süle played the ball into the centre from a half-right position Brandt tried to take the ball down but was unable to control it Wolfsburg defender Vavro was caught by surprise as the ball slipped through towards the edge of the penalty area This gave Guirassy a clear passage to goal then slotted a low shot into the bottom right-hand corner from exactly 11 metres out to make it 1-0 However, Wolfsburg were the more active team for a good 15 minutes after that, as the Borussia defence showed a few lapses in concentration. In the tenth minute, Wimmer had a shot on target - albeit from a very tight angle - and Skov Olsen had an unchallenged header after a quarter of an hour, which he sent just wide of the target. It would have been called back for offside in any case. It was only after around 20 minutes that BVB A searching long ball by Benesebaini found Brandt VfL goalkeeper Grabara deflected the ball out for a corner with his foot (23) The 1-0 lead at half-time was not undeserved but it left Wolfsburg with every chance in a game that the Black & Yellows wanted to put their stamp on Coach Nico Kovac's side had shown too little in attack up to that point and had invited VfL to get forward on several occasions instead of pushing them back Guirassy had the first shot on goal in the second half in the 53rd minute after a sharp cross from Ryerson and the Guirassy-Gittens-Brandt trio were sometimes left isolated up the pitch Ryerson won the ball deep in his own half and triggered the action that led to the second goal in the 59th minute Brandt and Guirassy combined up the right flank Brandt then picked out Gross from the byline who skipped past three Wolfsburg players in the penalty area and passed back inside where Guirassy took the bouncing ball on the half-volley and fired it into the roof of the net to make it 2-0 This goal gave the Black & Yellows the extra confidence they had been looking for He skipped past two Wolfsburg defenders and dispatched a powerful effort into the back of the net Bensebaini played a good ball to the left to Adeyemi played a one-two with Brandt and scored from a half-left position to make it 4-0 Duranville failed to beat Grabara with a shot to the near post Outlook: BVB will travel to Bayer Leverkusen next Sunday and then host Holstein Kiel in the season finale at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK the following Saturday.Boris Rupert 18:30 CEST BORUSSIA DORTMUND 4–0 (1-0) VFL WOLFSBURG Chukwuemeka)VfL Wolfsburg: Grabara – Fischer (76 bookings: – FischerAttendance: 81,365 (sold-out) Related NewsReport: Guirassy committed to Dortmund despite €70m release clause BVB wants Soumaïla Coulibaly back for the Club World Cup Nico Schlotterbeck reinforces his commitment to BVB Daniel Svensson nominated for April "Rookie of the Month" 4️⃣ things to look out for in the Champions League this week The Champions League returns with a bang this week as the finalists will be determined following some tense first leg action.Here is what to look out for...⚔️ Match of the... 🦁 Premier League Player of the Week: A perfect comeback With Liverpool having already secured the title this was the weekend that the Premier League focused on the Race for Fifth™.And with that in mind, our Player of the Week... Man United hold talks in “recent hours” with Victor Osimhen’s agents over sensational summer deal Dortmund thrashed Wolfsburg 4-0, with Adeyemi's electrifying substitute appearance and Guirassy's brace securing the vital win and boosting their Champions League hopes. Adeyemi's performance strongly suggests a starting role. Borussia Dortmund’s recent struggles seem to be a thing of the past. A resounding 4-0 victory over Wolfsburg at Signal Iduna Park showcased a revitalized BVB, scoring four goals in a single game – a feat that would have seemed unimaginable just weeks ago. This article delves into the match, highlighting the standout performances of Karim Adeyemi and Serhou Guirassy, and the tactical shift that's fueled Dortmund's resurgence. The match against Wolfsburg, winless since March 1st, was a testament to Dortmund's improved form. Guirassy's early goal in the third minute set the tone, but Dortmund initially struggled to capitalize on their dominance, focusing too much on the flanks rather than exploiting the space in the middle. However, the second half was a different story. The 4-0 victory not only secured three vital points but also significantly boosted Dortmund's chances of securing Champions League football for next season. With two games remaining, they are firmly in contention for a top-four finish. While Guirassy's goals were crucial, Adeyemi's impact off the bench was electrifying. His pace and ability to find space in central areas proved too much for Wolfsburg to handle. His performance underlines the argument that he should be a regular starter for BVB. Many fans and analysts have lauded Adeyemi's performance, highlighting his two "golaços" (great goals). His contributions aren't just about goals; his presence opens up spaces for other players and significantly alters the attacking dynamic. The question now is whether Coach Kovač will heed the calls to start Adeyemi in the crucial remaining games. Dortmund paid €18.5 million for Guirassy, a fee that initially raised some eyebrows. However, his 32 goals this season, including his brace against Wolfsburg, speak volumes about his value. While he has had some moments of inconsistency, his ability to find the back of the net consistently is undeniable. Guirassy has become one of the most lethal strikers in the Bundesliga. The 4-0 victory over Wolfsburg represents a significant step forward for Borussia Dortmund. The team's improved performance, fueled by a tactical shift to a back-three and the stellar contributions of Guirassy and Adeyemi, has ignited their hopes for a top-four finish and Champions League qualification. Adeyemi's impact, in particular, suggests he deserves a starting role in the crucial remaining matches. The future looks bright for BVB. Borussia Dortmund convincingly defeated Wolfsburg with a 4-0 victory, securing three crucial points in the Bundesliga. Kevin Guirassy scored a brace, and Karim Adeyemi also contributed a goal to the 4-0 victory over Wolfsburg. Adeyemi's impressive substitute appearance strongly suggests he'll secure a starting role in future matches. His impact was significant to Dortmund's win. The 4-0 win, largely thanks to Adeyemi's impact, significantly boosts Borussia Dortmund's chances of qualifying for the Champions League. This match report doesn't provide Dortmund's current league standing but a 4-0 win is a substantial boost in their campaign. While Adeyemi and Guirassy were standout performers, other players contributed to the strong team performance against Wolfsburg. More detailed match analyses will showcase other performers.

best solution for everyone involved,” said the club’s Managing Director It is no news that VfL Wolfsburg has not been the successful club people were used to watching in previous years and that the supporters and fans are not happy with the team’s performances on the field “I’ve noticed in recent weeks that I no longer have the energy within me to live up to my own expectations and those of VfL Wolfsburg Always with the goal of doing the best for the club and my team I made this decision in my responsibility as head coach to the club and the players for the successful collaboration and wish the club all the best,” said Tommy Stroot Although Wolfsburg has won many trophies under his leadership there has also been an exodus of players from the club in recent months there was a lack of results and failing short in the domestic and international competitions they sit third in the Frauen Bundesliga table and were just eliminated from the UWCL (UEFA Women’s Champions League) last week

notable exceptions of Nico Schlotterbeck and Maxi Beier. Beier is still recovering from an ankle injury that forced him off the pitch against Borussia Mönchengladbach two weeks ago The midfield is expected to get a boost this weekend as Marcel Sabitzer has returned to team training and should be available for selection This will be another tough match despite Wolfsburg sitting nine points behind BVB in the league table. There’s no room for error, but I’m optimistic as Borussia Dortmund won their third in a row last weekend. Here are some predictions for the home match against Wolfsburg: FC Bayern München v Borussia Dortmund - Bundesliga | Maja Hitij/GettyImages Patrick Wimmer & Jonas Wind: Thankfully, Wolfsburg’s left-footed captain, Maximilian Arnold, will miss this match due to a red card suspension. Dortmund will have to deal with a couple of other thorns in their side, however. Striker Jonas Wind has featured in nearly every league match for Wolfsburg this season Wind also scored the heartbreaking extra-time winner which knocked Dortmund out of the Pokal this season is a versatile player who Ralph Hasenhüttl has utilized all over the pitch from the attacking midfield and center-forward position even dropping into left back on certain occasions He’s been one of Wolfsburg’s most consistent players this season and will be one to watch on Saturday Daniel Svensson and Julian Brandt: At this point, Daniel Svensson is all but a Borussia Dortmund player, and should he feature in two of BVB’s final three games, his buy-option will trigger, and he will formally become a BVB player and his form has only improved in recent weeks with his first goal for the club coming two weeks ago and a pair of assists earned last weekend Julian Brandt and many media reports claim he’s nearing an exit this summer then we should respect and enjoy these potentially final days with Brandt at the club He’s also started to find a late bout of form this season with an impressive goal last weekend Perhaps our senior-most player will leave on a high VfL Wolfsburg v Borussia Dortmund - Bundesliga | Luciano Lima/GettyImages Wolfsburg has not won a match since March 1, and that makes me nervous. The struggling clubs always seem to show up against Dortmund. But Hassenhüttl will be cornered with several players missing through injury or suspension. I expect Wolfsburg to sit back and absorb pressure, while committing men forward on the counterattack. Wolfsburg are locked in the midtable but with practically no hope of European qualification Despite losing to Wolfsburg in the cup, Dortmund did still manage to beat them away from home to close out the Hindrunde, likely saving Nuri Sahin’s job in the process at the time. This time, we’re home and on a three-match win streak. Can we make four? We need to, and I believe we will, but this is Dortmund, and we’ll make it more complicated than it needs to be.

BVB not only want to take the next step with a home win against VfL Wolfsburg but also continue their run against the Wolves: the Black & Yellows have not lost in their last 11 home games against the Lower Saxons (nine wins They have only conceded just one goal across their last eight home games against VfL who cannot promise the midfielder a starting role after his injury we'll certainly need him in the next few games" Wolfsburg are without a win in seven games (two draws five defeats) and currently sit 12th in the table although things are going better on the road for the club from Lower Saxony: seven of their ten wins this season have come away from home and they have the fourth-best away record in the league "They're dangerous from set pieces and in transitional play but if we can play like we have in recent weeks I'm convinced that we can unleash a force from the crowd that VfL will struggle to contend with," said Kovac who is facing a former club on Saturday: "I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again But we also know how important the game is Friendships are put aside for 90 minutes."
