VFL Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction: Wolfsburg to win or draw

In the final match of the year in the German Bundesliga, which will take place on Sunday afternoon at Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund will square off against one another. Both of the teams are now positioned in the centre of the league standings, next to each other. While fans of Wolfsburg can be pleased with the significant improvement in form that has occurred over the course of the past several months. All of Dortmund's supporters are in utter disbelief due to the dismal performance that the team has displayed over the first half of the season.

The Wolfsburg team has ended their five-game winning streak with a loss to Freiburg by a score of 2-3 on the road on Friday. By coming back from a three-goal disadvantage, they displayed a tremendous deal of character; but, they required additional time to finish the game, and they only managed to score two goals in the final moments. All things considered, it was an outstanding match. Despite making twenty shots, Wolfsburg was unable to win the match against Freiburg, which was a very strong team away from home.

Last weekend, Dortmund was held to a disappointing 1-1 draw at home against Hoffenheim, who are now in the bottom half of the table. During the entire 90 minutes of play, Dortmund did not manage to register more than six shots in total.

Although the result portrayed a different picture, Wolfsburg's 3-2 loss to Freiburg on the road was likely flattering considering the overall performance of Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg is the fourth-best attacking team in the league, but they are the sixth-worst defensive team at the moment. They have scored 31 goals in the league while only allowing 25 goals to be scored against them. A strong run had also been experienced by the club before their loss in Freiburg. They had won five matches in a row and had not suffered a loss in any of their eight matches across all events.

In addition, the team's performance at home has been exceptionally strong, as seen by three consecutive triumphs at Volkswagen Arena. Wolfsburg has previously defeated the opponents that they will face on Sunday at home this season. In the DFB-Pokal, Wolfsburg defeated Dortmund by a score of one goal to zero.

As a result of the stunning tie that occurred at Westphalenstadion, Nuri Sahin expressed his dissatisfaction to reporters. He questioned the mindset of his players after they failed to save a lead in the 91st minute of their most recent match against Hoffenheim.

Dortmund have not been victorious in any of their most recent four matches in all competitions. They have three draws and one loss, which were both to Barcelona in the Champions League. Moreover, Sahin's team has been held to a 1-1 tie in each of their most recent three league encounters by their opponents. They have demonstrated, in recent times, a marked improvement in their performance away from home, which was a major concern during the early stages of Sahin's rule. The past two away matches that Dortmund has played have resulted in a win and a draw. Before this, Dortmund had lost all six of their travel encounters.

Following the third consecutive draw in the Bundesliga, Dortmund fell to ninth place in the league rankings. Nuri Sahin's job may be on the line as Dortmund has only managed to earn two points from six matches played away from home, while also allowing 13 goals to be scored against them during this season of the Bundesliga, 

Wolfsburg has won five of the six games played in all competitions. Hence, I strongly believe that Dortmund's best result will be a draw. I recommend a win for the home team for bold bettors and double chance (home or draw) for the cautious bettor.
