Borussia Dortmund v Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting Tips

Saturday | 16:30 UTC | Signal Iduna Park | Bundesliga

Borussia Dortmund return to league action on Saturday with momentum fully on their side. Wolfsburg, meanwhile, arrive in poor form and lacking purpose. It’s a meeting of two teams headed in opposite directions.

Dortmund Finally Hitting Their Stride

It’s taken time, but Borussia Dortmund are beginning to resemble a side worthy of a top-four finish. Under Niko Kovac, they’ve strung together 3 consecutive wins in all competitions for the first time since May 2024.

Their recent five-game unbeaten Bundesliga run includes four victories and a thrilling 2–2 draw with Bayern Munich. The most striking development, though, has been their attacking form- 15 goals scored in their last 5 league outings and a commanding 3–1 win over Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-final second leg.

Wolfsburg in a Rut With Little to Play For

In stark contrast, Wolfsburg have slumped. Winless in 7 matches and with 5 defeats in that run, their Bundesliga season has fizzled into mid-table obscurity.

They’ve shown little fight or form in recent weeks, and their slide has seen them lose touch with the European places. Their final 3 games offer no more than a chance to restore pride.

Worryingly, Wolfsburg have an abysmal record against Dortmund. The Wolves have lost 11 of their last 13 Bundesliga meetings with BVB, and they haven’t scored in 7 of their last 8 visits to the Signal Iduna Park.

Fast Starts Fueling BVB’s Surge

One pattern in Dortmund’s resurgence has been their habit of starting fast. They’ve led at half-time in each of their last five Bundesliga wins, a trend that’s well worth noting in this clash.

Given the visitors’ fragility and Dortmund’s renewed confidence, an early breakthrough seems more than likely. Expect the hosts to press from the off and maintain control throughout.

Head-to-Head: BVB’s Dominance

Dortmund’s record against Wolfsburg is emphatic. They’ve won 11 of the last 13 league meetings, including a 1–0 victory in the reverse fixture. Wolfsburg haven’t taken a point from a trip to Signal Iduna Park since 2015.
