Wolfsburg preview: Heading in the wrong direction

Wolfsburg may not be cut adrift in the relegation zone, but they have lost five and drawn two of their seven most recent Bundesliga fixtures.

While central defender Konstantinos Koulierakis has not always been in manager Daniel Bauer's plans in the last weeks, he may be chosen in the starting XI on Saturday considering Kilian Fischer is set to miss out due to a groin injury.
