Game Preview
Wolfsburg will be aiming to extend their winning streak to four matches when they visit Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The hosts, meanwhile, have fallen into the bottom half of the table after a winless run of four games. Even though these two teams arrive in very different forms, there are a few interesting aspects in regards to the matchup.
Indeed, Hoffenheim were beaten for the third time in four league games as they fell to a 4-2 defeat away to Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday. Andre Breitenreiter’s side were 3-0 down within the opening half-an-hour through strikes from Djibril Sow, Randal Kolo and Eric Ebimbe, but Christoph Baumgartner and Ozan Kabak pulled two goals back either side of half time to build hope of a miraculous comeback.
There is no doubt that Breitenreiter is under significant pressure to improve that record against Wolfsburg on Saturday, with a win guaranteed to take them above their opponents in the table and potentially end this period prior to the World Cup as high as seventh.
On the other hand, Wolfsburg have enjoyed an almost polar-opposite season to their forthcoming opponents, with Niko Kovac overcoming a difficult start to life as their head coach before overseeing an unbeaten run of eight matches in all competitions since returning from September’s international break.
As such, the former Croatia international must be maddened by the timing of the imminent World Cup, having witnessed his side win for the third league game in a row against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
Micky van de Ven got the Wolves off to the perfect start by breaking the deadlock after just six minutes, with BVB unable to find an equalizer despite mustering 21 shots in an incredibly open game before Lukas Nmecha wrapped up his team’s victory in injury time.
A positive result against Hoffenheim on Saturday could see Wolfsburg head into the World Cup break in seventh position, which seemed unthinkable when they were only marginally above the drop zone in the middle of September.
