THE PREDICTION
Wolfsburg beat Werder Bremen 5-3 in a thrilling contest back in November, but since then the Wolves have not conceded more than twice in a single game. In fact, Koen Casteels has only picked the ball out of his net once in the last nine Bundesliga matches, with Oliver Glasner’s side boasting the joint best defence in the division. Bremen have also tightened up since that earlier meeting, albeit not to the same degree. In their last 10 league games they have conceded 12 goals, but seven of those came across just two matches. Wolfsburg may have put five past Schalke last time out but the hosts are unlikely to be as generous here, and under 2.5 goals looks likelier than a repeat of the goal fest in the reverse fixture.
