Prediction

  • Following three straight defeats, Wolfsburg bounced back with a crucial 4-0 win over relegation-threatened Bielefeld to move up to 13th, eight points from the relegation spots.
  • Koen Casteels in the Wolfsburg goal returned from injury last weekend and now has the joint-most clean sheets of nine.
  • Dortmund have failed to score only once in their last 61 Bundesliga games and a narrow home win is the play, as the "Wolves" have failed to score in their last five trips to Dortmund.
