Borussia Dortmund vs Wolfsburg – Match Preview and Team News

Borussia Dortmund Team News

Dortmund face a significant injury crisis ahead of Sunday’s fixture, with several key players unavailable. Emre Can remains sidelined with a groin injury and is not expected to return until October. Defender Nico Schlotterbeck has made progress in his recovery from a long-term knee injury and was fully involved in training this week, making him a potential option for the weekend.

Niklas Süle continues his recovery from a calf injury and isn’t expected back until mid-October. Julien Duranville remains out with a dislocated shoulder injury.

Fábio Silva has returned to team training but head coach Niko Kovač plans to ease him back slowly, targeting his debut for early October against RB Leipzig.

Wolfsburg Team News

Wolfsburg have strengthened their squad significantly with the recent signing of Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen on a free transfer. The 33-year-old veteran, who left Manchester United at the end of last season, has signed a two-year deal and brings vast experience to Paul Simonis’ side.

Eriksen joins fellow Denmark internationals Joakim Maehle, Jesper Lindström, Andreas Skov Olsen, Jonas Wind and Adam Daghim at the club. The experienced playmaker has been immediately integrated into Wolfsburg’s leadership council according to head coach Paul Simonis.

Other recent additions include loan signings Adam Daghim from Salzburg, Jenson Seelt from Sunderland, and Saël Kumbedi from Lyon.

Form

Borussia Dortmund

Niko Kovač’s side have made an impressive start to the campaign, remaining unbeaten in their opening three Bundesliga fixtures. The Black and Yellows opened with a thrilling 3-3 draw away to St. Pauli, before securing a convincing 3-0 home victory against Union Berlin. They continued their strong form with a 2-0 away win at Heidenheim last weekend.

Dortmund have scored eight goals while conceding just three in their opening fixtures, demonstrating both attacking potency and defensive solidity. Their recent Champions League encounter with Juventus ended in a dramatic 4-4 draw after conceding two late goals.

Wolfsburg

Paul Simonis has overseen an unbeaten start to his tenure as Wolfsburg head coach. The Wolves opened the season with a victory before drawing their last two Bundesliga matches. Despite not securing maximum points recently, Wolfsburg have shown resilience and remain competitive in each fixture.

The appointment of Simonis as head coach in June has brought fresh energy to the club after Ralph Hasenhüttl’s dismissal earlier this year. The Dutch coach led Go Ahead Eagles to their first major trophy in 92 years by winning the Dutch Cup before joining Wolfsburg.

Predicted Lineups

Borussia Dortmund: Kobel; Anselmino, Anton, Bensebaini; Couto, Groß, Nmecha, Svensson; Adeyemi, Guirassy, Beier.

VfL Wolfsburg: Grabara; Fischer, Jens, Koulierakis, Maehle; Eriksen, Arnold; Wimmer, Majer, Skov Olsen; Amoura.
