THE PREDICTION
A huge match in the battle for Champions League places takes place at the Volkswagen Arena, where Wolfsburg were unbeaten this season until their defeat to Bayern Munich last Saturday. Borussia Dortmund have been a bogey team for the Wolves in recent years, winning 10 of the last 11 meetings between the two and keeping clean sheets in the last eight. The Black and Yellows have only registered one shutout in their last 12 away league matches, though, and are without the influential Mats Hummels at the back for this one. Wolfsburg have failed to score in just one of their last 12 at home but their usually solid defence have conceded eight goals in their last three outings overall. With a lot at stake and two prolific frontmen leading the lines, it is hard to see both teams not scoring irrespective of the result.
