Wolfsburg have found formidable form after overcoming Borussia Dortmund in the previous round of the Cup. Hoffenheim, following a managerial change, are seeking their stride, but there's no doubt they will challenge the hosts in creating and accumulating dangerous chances.
In November, Wolfsburg netted ten goals over four Bundesliga matches. On Saturday, they demolished Leipzig (5:1), posting an impressive 2.30 xG and eight shots on target. Summer signing Mohamed Amoura has tallied 4+5 in the German league and ranks among the top 20 scorers in the tournament—expect him to pose a significant threat on Wednesday.
During the international break, Hoffenheim parted ways with Pellegrino Matarazzo, unable to stabilise their league and Europa League positions. Under new management with Christian Ilzer, they began with a victory over Leipzig (4:3) but subsequently suffered defeats against Braga (0:3) and Mainz (0:2). In the visit to Mainz, Hoffenheim managed to spark some creativity with substitutions, but couldn’t find the net. Mergim Berisha, Valentin Gendrey, and Tom Bischof might start in the cup match, and they're expected to contribute substantially to the attack.
Since February 2020, Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim have seen nine instances of total over 2.5 in their head-to-head encounters, with another instance in a friendly match. It's wise to back the classic bet of total over 2.5 goals in matches featuring two aggressive teams.
