The final fixture of the weekend in the German Bundesliga takes place on the 7th of May as Borussia Dortmund meet VfL Wolfsburg.
The game will be played at Signal-Iduna-Park and the hosts begin the weekend in 2nd place on 61 points while the visitors are in 7th place on 46 points.
Borussia Dortmund come into the game having suffered as setback in the pursuit of the Bundesliga title last weekend. Borussia Dortmund were held to a 1-1 draw at relegation threatened Bochum and conceded the opening goal just 5 minutes into the match.
It took Borussia Dortmund only 2 minutes to score the equaliser but they could not find the winning goal.
That defeat saw them drop one point behind Bayern Munich in the title race. However, it means Borussia Dortmund are undefeated in their last 4 games, all of which have come in the Bundesliga. There have been wins over Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt at home plus draws at Stuttgart and Bochum.
Form in the Bundesliga shows Borussia Dortmund are undefeated in 14 of their 15 most recent league fixtures. They have a tremendous home record and Borussia Dortmund are undefeated in their last 16 home games in all competitions.
Borussia Dortmund have won each of their last 9 home league matches and have seen both teams score plus over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 Bundesliga games on home soil.
Wolfsburg travel to Signal-Iduna-Park on the back of a good 3-0 home win over Mainz in the Bundesliga last weekend. Wolfsburg quickly took control of the match and having opened the scoring in the 5th minute, raced into a 3-0 lead after only 28 minutes to seal maximum points.
That was the second win in succession for Wolfsburg who previously beat Bochum 5-1 on the road in the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg were 3-0 up at half time and added a fourth goal 11 minutes into the second half. Bochum pulled a goal back in the 68th minute but Wolfsburg were not finished and added a fifth goal 9 minutes later.
Trends show Wolfsburg are undefeated in 8 of their last 9 fixtures, all of which have been played in the Bundesliga. Their away form is good and Wolfsburg are undefeated in 8 of their last 11 away trips in the league.
Team news and Borussia Dortmund continue without Soumaïla Coulibaly, Nico Schlotterbeck, Thomas Meunier, Julien Duranville, and Mateu Morey who are all injured.
Wolfsburg have four players unavailable for this match, with Maxence Lacroix, Kevin Paredes, Paulo Otavio, and Lukas Nmecha on the treatment table.
This should be an entertaining game to watch and we expect to see both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals. Wolfsburg have been difficult to beat in recent away matches but Borussia Dortmund are flying in-front of their own fans and should record another home victory as they aim to win the Bundesliga title.
