Borussia Dortmund head into Tuesday’s DFB-Pokal showdown with Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg on a poor run of form.
Nuri Sahin’s side have lost three of their last four games across all competitions, while the Wolves have won one of their previous six outings.
Naturally, both sides will be eager to find some form and advance to the third round. Keep reading to discover what Forebet’s AI algorithm predicts.
Let’s start by looking at the hosts, Wolfsburg, who kicked off their DFB-Pokal campaign with a 1-0 victory over TuS Koblenz.
Since then, however, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side have managed to win just two of their eight matches across all competitions, recording two draws and four losses.
It is also worth noting that Wolfsburg have yet to taste victory at the Volkswagen Arena this season, recording one draw and three defeats.
Given that Wolfsburg’s home games have produced a total of 18 goals (4.5 goals per game), Tuesday’s clash will likely be a high-scoring affair.
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund’s DPB-Pokal journey began with a 4-1 victory against Phonix Lubek, although Sahin’s men have struggled for consistency since then.
Not only have BVB lost each of their last two games – conceding seven goals in the process – but they have also lost four of their previous seven outings across all competitions.
Worse still, Borussia Dortmund have lost each of their last four away encounters, conceding a whopping 14 goals in that sequence (3.5 goals per game).
That said, Dortmund lead Wolfsburg by five points in the Bundesliga table, so they visitors will be hopeful of overcoming the hosts.
Head-to-head: Wolfsburg have managed to win just one of their last 18 meetings with Borussia Dortmund, suffering 14 defeats in that time.
That said, the Wolves won their most recent DFB-Pokal match against Dortmund, picking up a 3-1 victory back in 2015.
Team news: Bartosz Bialek, Lukas Nmecha, Kevin Paredes, Rogerio and Mattias Svanberg all missed Wolfsburg’s weekend draw with St Pauli due to injury.
Dortmund also have several injury absentees, with Karim Adeyemi, Niklas Sule, Gio Reyna and Julien Duranville missing Saturday’s 2-1 defeat against Augsburg.
When you couple Wolfsburg’s poor home form with their dismal record against Dortmund, all the signs point towards an away victory on Tuesday.
Forebet predicts that Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund will share over 2.5 goals, with the visitors outscoring the hosts.
