Wolfsburg take on the visitors Holsten Kiel in the round 19 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, January 24th at Volkswagen Arena (Wolfsburg).
Wolfsburg were showing good results not so long ago. But then there was a fairly deep decline, and none of the coaches could satisfy the ambitions of the management and fans. In 2023/2024, Niko Kovac was finally fired in the middle of the competition, from whom progress was expected for quite a long time. With Hasenhüttl, they finished only 12th, but everyone understood that Ralf was taken with an eye on the new season. At first, it seemed that this decision to let an experienced specialist get used to a new place without any tournament tasks for the spring did not help, the club again had a very difficult start, winning only twice in the first 9 rounds. But then they managed to get past Borussia Dortmund in the cup, and won four times in the championship. True, then they lost, conceding three times, to Freiburg and the same Dortmund. But after a break, in January, they dealt with Hoffenheim and Mönchengladbach, returning to the European Cup zone. Bayern, however, won in the last round, but by a minimal margin, 3-2.

Holstein will debut this season at this level. The Storks improved quite dramatically in the last championship. As a result, they managed to move from 8th place to 2nd. And it was enough to go straight to Bundesliga 1. Of course, it is extremely difficult for a newcomer there, especially such an inexperienced one. And the results were frankly not impressive for a long time. But still, you shouldn't write off the team, which it has been proving lately. In December, the outsider managed to crush Augsburg at home 5-1. Then they almost got even with a draw in Freiburg with the same-named opponent. Well, last week they stunned Borussia Dortmund, scoring three times before the break and making the final score 4-2. Hoffenheim were better prepared and won 3-1 even away.
In 2018, the Wolves won both play-off matches against the Storks and remained in Bundesliga 1. Having played them again, this time in the regular championship format, they scored a couple of unanswered goals against the newcomer. The Wolves are playing at home against the newcomer-underdog. We are betting on the hosts with a handicap of -1.
Prediction for the match: Wolfsburg to win with -1.0 handicap.
