THE PREDICTION
The winter break did not have the positive effect Wolfsburg would have wanted it to among their squad as they slumped to an eight straight loss in all competitions against Bochum. With a relegation battle now in prospect unless they can turn the tide quickly, Wolfsburg welcome Hertha to VOLKSWAGEN ARENA, who are fresh off the back of defeat themselves at the hands of Koln. Key for the hosts will be to plug the defensive holes that have seen them concede at least twice in six of their last seven Bundesliga fixtures. They showed signs of progression on this front against Bochum and home advantage should benefit them further here. Meanwhile, Hertha’s backline have had their own issues, especially on the road having shipped ten goals across their last most recent four league games on the road. This is something Wolfsburg could capitalise on and Hertha’s away struggles make backing the hosts to pick up at least a point, if not all three via the double chance market worthy of consideration.
