VfL Wolfsburg will face Borussia Dortmund in an exciting German Cup match. With both teams known for their attacking style, fans can expect an open game filled with scoring opportunities. As they compete for a spot in the next round, the match promises to deliver plenty of action and thrills, making it one to watch closely.
The last match between these teams took place on February 17th, and it ended in a 1-1 draw. In their last 10 encounters, Borussia Dortmund has had a clear edge, winning 80% of those games.
Wolfsburg is currently having trouble with its defense. Despite their efforts, the team has not been able to build a strong defense, allowing an average of two goals per match. Playing against Borussia Dortmund will be a tough challenge, and being at home is unlikely to improve their situation significantly. Their problems seem to be deep-rooted.
To counter this, Wolfsburg will likely focus on counter attacking play. They still have chances to create scoring opportunities, as shown by their expected goals (xG) of 1.47 per game. This suggests they could lose by just one goal, even with their struggles.
Dortmund, facing a packed schedule, is unlikely to use its best lineup in the upcoming match. This could cause issues, especially in defense, as they have struggled to keep clean sheets. Their last match without conceding a goal was in mid-September, so they’ll need to rely on their attacking skills.
In recent games against teams like Augsburg (1:2), Real Madrid (2:5), and St. Pauli (2:1), Dortmund has often controlled possession, even getting 48% against Real Madrid, which is notable.
They have a good chance of creating scoring opportunities, with an expected goals (xG) rate of 1.63 per 90 minutes. However, their high defensive line has made them vulnerable to counterattacks, which have been costly in recent matches.
