Wolfsburg vs. Hoffenheim: Match Prediction
Wolfsburg has been struggling at home, failing to win in 12 consecutive Bundesliga home matches (7 draws, 5 losses). They have not managed to secure a victory even against relatively weaker opponents like Heidenheim (0-1) and Holstein Kiel (2-2).
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, has been successful away from home and boasts a six-match unbeaten run (3 wins, 3 draws). Additionally, in their first away match of the current season, the club managed to win against Bayer (2-1). Furthermore, in 6 of their last 7 Bundesliga matches, the team has breached the opponent's defense at least twice.
I believe the visitors will be able to secure a positive result in this match. My prediction: Hoffenheim to win or draw
