Wolfsburg take on the visitors Borussia Dortmund at “Volkswagen Arena” in the opening gameweek of the Germans Bundesliga of 2017/2018 season. The match will be played on Saturday, August 19th.
With a good budget and roster for a team of the Bundesliga,“Die Wolfe” failed last season, having saved their place in the elite division only due to 1:0, 1:0 triumphs over Eintracht Braunschweig in the Relegation Play Offs. This summer Wolfsburg have shaken their squad by selling
Diego Benaglio, Jannes Horn, Ricardo Rodriguez and Luiz Gustavo for the total sum of 35 million EUR. “Die Wolfe” didn’t spare money for buying new players, having signed Paul Verhaegh, Ignacio Camacho, John Anthony Brooks, Ohis Felix Uduokhai and Marvin Stefaniak for the total 42 million EUR. The club entered the new season with 1:0 away victory over Norderstedt in the DFB Pokal.

Last season Borussia Dortmund won the DFB Pokal and bronze medals of the Bundesliga. This summer “Die Schwarzgelben” have appointed Peter Bosz as the teams new head-coach who will guide the club to new achievements. Under the rule of the Dutch, Borussia Dortmund have conducted two games resulting in 2:2 draw against Bayern Munich in the regular time, having lost the Super Cup by penalty shoot-out and easy 4:0 victory over Rielasinger-Arlen in the DFB Pokal.
Concerning the rivals’ head-to-heads, Borussia Dortmund have won their four recent clashes against Wolfsburg with 15:3 aggregated score. I believe that “Die Schwarzgelben” have good chances for getting another triumph despite the away character of the fight as “Die Wolfe” are far away from strong and consistent football.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win.
