VfL Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund prediction 2024-02-17
Volkswagen Arena will be the centre of attention when Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund take on each other in the Bundesliga round 22. The Wolves are on a five-game winless run, but it has to be noted that they failed to turn their dominance into goals in a 1-0 loss to Union Berlin. All Rogerio, Moritz Jenz, Koen Casteels, Aster Vranckx, Tiago Tomas, Patrick Wimmer, and Lukas Nmecha are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, rolled over Freiburg 3-0 in their last league match to stay in the Champions League berth. Borussia Dortmund have recorded four wins in the previous five league games and given Wolfsburg’s poor form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team.
