Arguably the biggest match of the weekend in the German Bundesliga comes at the Volkswagen Arena as Wolfsburg meet Borussia Dortmund.
The hosts begin the weekend in 3rd place on 57 points while the visitors are in 5th place on 52 points, meaning there is all to play for in terms of Champions League qualification.
Wolfsburg come into the match having recorded a good 3-1 win at Stuttgart on Wednesday night. Wolfsburg took control of the game in the first half by scoring two goals and added a third 20 minutes into the second half to seal maximum points.
It was an important victory for Wolfsburg in their pursuit of a top four place having previously lost two matches against Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Munich.
Wolfsburg have proven difficult to defeat in recent Bundesliga matches and they are undefeated in 13 of their 16 most recent games in the competition. Their home form shows just one defeat from their last 14 home Bundesliga fixtures and that came at the hands of defending champions, Bayern Munich.
Trends show Wolfsburg have succeeded in scoring at least one goal in their last 9 consecutive games in the Bundesliga.
They have managed to score 2 or more goals in 9 of their 12 most recent home league games and will be hoping to add to that tally in this match.
Borussia Dortmund know this is a vital fixture in terms of their Champions League qualification chances. They come into the game having picked up a crucial 2-0 home victory over Union Berlin on Wednesday night.
That was their third successive victory in the Bundesliga following wins over Stuttgart away and Werder Bremen at home.
Borussia Dortmund have been difficult to beat in recent Bundesliga fixtures and they have lost only one of their last 6 games in the competition.
However, their away form has been disappointing and Borussia Dortmund have won only two of their last 7 away Bundesliga matches. There have been defeats at Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Monchengladbach, Freiburg, and Bayern Munich.
Trends show that in Borussia Dortmund's last 10 away matches in the Bundesliga, there have been over 2.5 goals scored. In addition, Borussia Dortmund have scored at least one goal in all of their last 42 games in all competitions.
Looking ahead to the team news and Wolfsburg will be without Renato Steffen who has a ligament injury. Every other player should be fit and available for Oliver Glasner.
Borussia Dortmund travel without Mats Hummels who is suspended. Roman Bürki, Thomas Delaney, Youssoufa Moukoko, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Axel Witsel, and Marcel Schmelzer are injured but Jadon Sancho should be fit to start.
This could be one of the most exciting games of the weekend anywhere in Europe. Wolfsburg will fancy their chances of winning, especially given the away record of Borussia Dortmund. We could see a home win, with both teams scoring and over 3.5 goals scored.
