Team Analysis
Wolfsburg is currently facing defensive challenges, conceding an average of two goals per match. Despite these issues, they aim to leverage their counter-attacking play against Borussia Dortmund. With an expected goals (xG) of 1.47 per game, Wolfsburg has the potential to create scoring opportunities. However, their home advantage may not significantly offset their defensive struggles against a strong Dortmund side.

Dortmund enters this match with a busy schedule, likely resulting in them not fielding their strongest lineup. Their defense has been problematic, failing to keep a clean sheet since mid-September. Nevertheless, Dortmund's attacking capabilities remain robust, with an expected goals (xG) rate of 1.63 per 90 minutes. Their high defensive line has left them susceptible to counterattacks, which Wolfsburg may exploit.

Head-to-Head
In their last 10 encounters, Borussia Dortmund has dominated, winning 80% of the games. The most recent match between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw in February 2024.

Prediction
Both teams are known for their attacking play, suggesting a high-scoring affair. The match is expected to have over 2.5 goals, given both teams' trends of scoring and conceding in recent games. Additionally, the game is likely to feature a high number of corners, with a prediction of more than 9.5 corners due to the teams' playing styles. Although Wolfsburg is the favorite, Borussia Dortmund's recent form and defensive vulnerabilities could influence the outcome, potentially resulting in a 3-1 victory for Wolfsburg.

Pick: Over 2.5 goals
