Match Prediction: Borussia Dortmund vs. Wolfsburg
Niko Kovac's side has generally started well in the current championship, securing two victories. Borussia Dortmund was also close to claiming three points against St. Pauli in the first round but conceded twice while playing with a man down, allowing the opponent to equalize. Overall, the club has been very successful at home: Dortmund has won their last five home Bundesliga matches.
Wolfsburg's away form has been inconsistent: in their last six away league games, the team has managed only two victories (1 draw, 3 losses). Moreover, the opponents in the matches they won were not of the highest caliber: Borussia Mönchengladbach and Heidenheim. It's also worth noting that recent head-to-head meetings with Dortmund have been unfavorable for Wolfsburg: they have lost in the last seven encounters at Borussia's home in the Bundesliga.
I expect the hosts to claim all three points in this match. My prediction: Victory for Borussia Dortmund
