The home team’s form in the German top flight has been poor of late, as Andre Breitenreiter’s team heads into this clash on the back of a four-game winless run in all competitions. The run includes three defeats and a draw.
Last time out, Hoffenheim suffered a 4-2 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt. The game saw them concede at least two goals for the third time in four league matches.
Conceding too many goals has been a problem for the Kraichgauer, as they have kept just one clean sheet in the previous seven matches in the Bundesliga.
Hoffenheim’s recent home form has also been poor in the German top flight, as they have suffered three straight home defeats in the league, having conceded at least two goals in each of the losses.
In stark contrast to their hosts' struggles, Wolfsburg are in red-hot form going into this clash in Sinsheim. The visitors are unbeaten in eight competitive games, having recorded three straight league wins.
Their recent good form has moved the Wolves up to eighth place in the table, but they are still five points outside the European spots.
One of the biggest reasons for the Wolves' recent form has been an improvement in attack, as they have scored at least two goals in seven of their eight unbeaten games in the Bundesliga.
If Wolfsburg are going to continue their top-six push, then one facet of their game that needs to improve is their away record, as the Wolves have won just two of their previous seven away games.
