On Tuesday night, Wolfsburg host Koln at the Volkswagen Arena, as both teams look to move up the Bundesliga table.
Wolfsburg head into this clash on the back of a disastrous recent run of form. In fact, the Wolves have now suffered five straight defeats in all competitions, having failed to win in their last six competitive matches.

Included in that poor run is a four-game winless in the German top-flight, having suffered three straight defeats in the process.
The recent poor run of form has seen the home team drop down into midtable. However, Oliver Glasner’s team are still just three points adrift of the league’s top-six spots.
One factor in the Wolves recent poor form has been their woeful recent league form at the Volkswagen Arena.
Wolfsburg have won just once in their last six home matches in the German top-flight, having lost four of their last five home games in the Bundesliga.
The fact that they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five home matches in the league has hindered their chances of a better home record.
Koln have experienced mixed fortunes in the Bundesliga this season. The Billy Goats currently just a point and place below their hosts in the Bundesliga table, though.
Stefan Baumgart’s team has recorded just one win in their last eight matches in the Bundesliga. However, a 2-0 home loss against Augsburg last time out ended a four-game unbeaten run for the visitors in the German top-flight, as they had won once and drawn three of their previous matches in the Bundesliga.
Koln have been poor travellers of late in the Bundesliga, failing to win in eight away games in the German top-flight.
Forebet predicts that this game will finish in a low-scoring draw, which is unsurprising considering how little there is between these two teams in the table.
