Wolfsburg vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Wolfsburg had been left frustrated before the winter break as they suffered a defeat at home to Borussia Dortmund but they come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 victory over Hoffenheim thanks to a winning goal scored by Mohamed Amoura. They are striving to push towards the top seven and eight, alongside the entertaining Borussia Monchengladbach, who suffered a slender 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich via a second-half Harry Kane penalty at Borussia-Park at the weekend. Both Hasenhuttl and Seoane play aggressive and front foot football so both teams scoring would appear a good bet.
