Wolfsburg vs Hoffenheim Recent Form
Wolfsburg are in a rut as they approach this fixture. Sitting 12th in the Bundesliga with 39 points from 32 games, they are far from the European places they targeted earlier in the season. Their recent 4-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund and a 1-0 defeat to Freiburg led to the sacking of manager Ralph Hasenhüttl, with the club citing a lack of progress.
Hoffenheim, under Christian Ilzer, are battling to stay clear of the relegation zone. With 31 points from 32 games, they sit 15th, just two points above the drop zone. Their recent form includes a 2-1 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach, but a 1-0 win over Mainz showed their potential to grind out results. Hoffenheim’s away form remains a concern, with no victories in their last seven road games in the Bundesliga. However, players like Andrej Kramarić remain a threat, and Ilzer’s pragmatic approach could make them competitive in this clash.
