*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Wolfsburg entered the recent international break on the back of a 2-0 win at Holstein Kiel and they gave Bayern Munich a run for their money before that (2-3). Die Wolfe are keenly priced at 1/2 to avoid defeat in the double chance market on Saturday.
Eintracht Frankfurt eased to a 3-1 win at home to Hoffenheim last time out, though their away form has been poor for a sustained period and they offer little value at 6/4 to win on the road on Saturday. Read more of our German football predictions on our latest football tips page.

Player to watch – Kamil Grabara
Kamil Grabara was signed by Wolfsburg to replace outgoing Saudi Arabia-bound keeper Koen Casteels and the 25-year-old Polish stopper has made an excellent start to life in Germany.
Grabara can be a key performer again
Grabara made seven saves on his debut against Bayern Munich and made another five in Die Wolfe’s win at Holstein Kiel, and though he would prefer to have a quieter outing against Frankfurt, he’s likely to be a busy participant again.
