*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 win at Hoffenheim last weekend kept them in the hunt for a top-four finish and the hosts have a 75% chance of maintaining their pursuit with a win on Saturday.
Wolfsburg lost 1-0 at home to Freiburg last time out to extend a poor recent run of form, so it comes as little surprise to see them priced as 13/2 underdogs here. View more of our latest football predictions and analysis on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Daniel Svensson
Promising Swedish wingback Daniel Svensson was handed a rare start for Dortmund last weekend and the 23-year-old grabbed his chance to impress, lodging two assists in his team’s 3-2 win over Hoffenheim.
Svensson to start again
Svensson hadn’t created a single goal in four Bundesliga starts this term before his double-assist impact against Hoffenheim, so the scarcely-used youngster will hope that last week’s influential display was enough to earn another start against Wolfsburg.
