Wolfsburg vs. Hoffenheim: Match Prediction
Securing just one point in the remaining two rounds will almost certainly allow Christian Ilzer's team to avoid the relegation playoffs. Hoffenheim has a better goal difference than 16th-placed Holstein. Nevertheless, they will be eager to improve it. The team has no issues with scoring at the moment, boasting a six-match scoring streak in the Bundesliga, with at least two goals in each of their last four games.
Wolfsburg's management was so disappointed with the team's results that they decided not to wait until the end of the season, parting ways with Ralph Hasenhüttl after the last round, where his team suffered their first heavy defeat in the current championship. This highlights the club's defensive issues, as they have conceded in 11 consecutive league matches. Even at home, Wolfsburg has only managed two clean sheets in the Bundesliga 2024/25 season.
