Wolfsburg is one of the 3 remaining teams in the league that have no defeats after 4 rounds. 2 wins and 2 draws. This week, the Wolves confidently beat Ukrainian Oleksandria in the Europa League at home (3-1). Glasner almost completely retained last year's squad and strengthened his right flank with the halfback of Young Boys who used to play for Newcastle, Mbabu. He slightly forced the shape of the team before the Europa League, haven’t lost any of the 8 pre-season games and having gained 5 victories in them. But the rivals were fairly strong teams - Eintracht, Nice, PSV, and Fenerbahce. Good preparation is also noted in the opening matches of the championship.

Hoffenheim has undergone major changes compared to the last season. The coach was changed, and now the Dutch Schreuder leads the team, but his things are not going very well so far. In the preseason, the team suffered 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 4 friendly games. In 4 rounds of the championship, it suffered 2 losses and played a draw, having managed to beat only Werder. Besides, several key players left the team. Joelton and Nelson are in England now. Demirbay and Amiri moved to Bayer, Szalai – to Mainz. And the main scorer Kramaric, who scored 17 goals in the last championship, has an injury. Hence, the team showed a bad start and the game as a whole.
Wolfsburg is in good shape now. The Wolves confidently played with Hoffenheim at home in recent years. Yes, the last 2 matches have ended in a draw, but they won 4 games in a row before that. There was enough time for Wolfsburg to restore after the meeting with Oleksandriya, but the Ukrainians even did not bother it too much. Hoffenheim is in search now. The newcomers and the coach himself need time to get used to the new realities. Current Wolfsburg is not the rival with whom you can afford some sort of delights with the squad, tactics and other football subtleties. Hoffenheim needs to play only from a position of strength, but it does not have this strength now. More organized Wolfsburg will surely gain another home victory over Hoffenheim, which is just rolling into the championship.
Prediction for the match: Wolfsburg to win
