Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund prediction and betting tips on February 17, 2024
One of the fixtures of the 22nd round of the German Bundesliga will take place on Saturday at the "Volkswagen Arena," where the local Wolfsburg will face Borussia Dortmund. Here's the prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Wolfsburg
The "Wolves" are experiencing one of their worst seasons in recent memory, as previously the team consistently battled for European qualification, whereas now they find themselves perilously close to the relegation zone. After 21 matches, Niko Kovac's side has accumulated 23 points, which is seven points more than Cologne, who are currently in 16th place. However, recent results suggest that the "Wolves" are unlikely to be in the race for European qualification at the end of the season. Going into the game against Dortmund, Niko Kovac's side is coming off an away defeat to Union Berlin (0-1). This result extended Wolfsburg's winless streak to six matches.
Borussia Dortmund
Edin Terzic's team could have been competing for the silver salad bowl, but an unfortunate run of form towards the end of last year dealt a blow to the ambitions of the "yellow-blacks." Dortmund intensified their efforts to improve their league position after the winter break, and they have been quite successful in doing so. In the previous round, the "Bumblebees" hosted Freiburg and secured a 3-0 victory. This win marked their fourth victory in the last five Bundesliga matches, with just one draw away to Heidenheim (0-0). Currently, Dortmund sits in fourth place with 40 points after 21 matches, three points ahead of Leipzig, but catching up to the leaders Bayer and Bayern seems unlikely for the "Bumblebees."
