Wolfsburg take on the visitors Hoffenheim in the round 32 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, May 13th at Volkswagen Arena (Wolfsburg).
Just as we started praising the "Wolves" after two confident victories (3-0 against Mainz and 5-1 against Bochum), they were brutally stung by the "Bees" in Dortmund (0-6). In the match against Hoffenheim, Nico Kovac's team will undoubtedly want to redeem themselves after the humiliating defeat to Borussia. Whether they will achieve a victory or not, I don't know. But at the very least, they must score a goal. In 31 Bundesliga matches this season, Wolfsburg has scored 54 goals. However, the team also concedes in the majority of their matches, having already retrieved the ball from their own net 43 times.

Hoffenheim are fighting to avoid relegation, with only four points separating them from the relegation zone. The task of maintaining their position in German football's elite is yet to be accomplished, so there is no room for complacency. The recent results of the "village" team have been inconsistent, but in the last five rounds, under the guidance of Pellegrino Matarazzo, they have only failed to breach the defense of Leipzig, a team in the top three of the table. In the other four matches, they consistently troubled their opponents: victories against Schalke (2-0) and Eintracht Frankfurt (3-1), a draw against Bayern Munich in Munich (1-1), and a defeat to Cologne (1-3).
Both teams still have tournament motivation towards the end of the championship. The hosts are fighting for a spot in European competitions, while the guests are fighting for survival. This means that victory is necessary for both teams. And for victory, goals are required. Neither team particularly enjoys defending in the German championship, as evidenced by the fact that they have only kept a clean sheet once in the last five rounds. Wolfsburg has conceded 43 goals in 31 league matches, while Hoffenheim has conceded 52. Moreover, on average, the guests score more than a goal per game, and the hosts score even more than one and a half goals. As an additional note, I'll simply provide the numbers from the results of their last five head-to-head matches: 3-2, 2-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-2. In all of these matches, the "Wolves" and the "Village" played with both teams scoring.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
