Wolfsburg was quite good in the starting rounds of the championship. The team gained four victories in a row (and one draw was recorded). There was also a good segment in October and November. Then the Wolves had a streak of three games without defeats (two victories and one draw). It is noteworthy that Florian Kohfeldt's charges scored only one more goal in the German championship than Bochum (17). At the same time, the Wolves conceded 29 goals. Wolfsburg finished 2021 in 14th place. After 17 matches, it has 20 points, just like the future opponent. At the moment, the Wolves have not the worst statistics of away performances: three wins, one draw, and four losses with a goal difference of 9-15.
In the first half of the current championship, Wolfsburg minimally beat Bochum at home (1-0). In seven of the last eight head-to-head confrontations, Bochum scored at least one goal against Wolfsburg at home. Of course, Wolfsburg has a stronger roster. But if Bochum is in good shape, the Wolves will have a very hard time. Do not forget that at the end of the first round, when the Blue-Whites gained good shape, they were able to take points away from Borussia Dortmund (1-1). Bochum scored only ten goals in eight home matches. But Wolfsburg delivered nine accurate shots on foreign pitches. Most likely, the upcoming game will not be productive.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
