BVB v Wolfsburg: Another win against their favourite opponents? | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund faces VfL Wolfsburg at home. The statistics clearly favor BVB - will the streak against their "favorite opponent" continue?

Borussia Dortmund meets VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday evening - and the statistics clearly favor the hosts. BVB has been undefeated for eleven Bundesliga games, with nine wins and two draws, thus holding the longest streak since April to October 2023. Wolfsburg, on the other hand, arrives with a bitter experience: On the last matchday, the Wolves conceded the 3:3 equalizer in Cologne in the 104th minute, the latest Bundesliga goal since the official recording of extra time in 1992.

History also favors the Black and Yellows against Lower Saxony. Of the last 20 duels in the Bundesliga, Dortmund won 17, only twice did they draw, the last defeat dates back almost a year (November 2022, 0:2 in Wolfsburg). Under their own roof, the Borussians have not lost a game against Wolfsburg since December 8, 2012. Particularly disastrous for the Wolves are away games in Dortmund: Ten matches, only one point, 32 goals conceded.

Guirassy on fire: BVB's top scorer in top form

A decisive factor for BVB is goal-getter Serhou Guirassy. "Guirassy on fire" - the striker from Guinea has scored four times in the three league opening matches and has scored at least once in the last eight Bundesliga games against Dortmund. His goals make him a decisive factor in BVB's attack.

Coach Niko Kovac, who previously trained Wolfsburg, could also play a role. Under him, Dortmund averaged 2.1 points per game - the best record of a current BVB coach. At the same time, Kovac knows the weaknesses of his former team, which under his leadership squandered a believed secure participation in the European Cup at the end of the 2022/23 season.

On the Wolfsburg side, Christian Eriksen could make his Bundesliga debut. About his chances of playing, he recently said: "If you ask me: yes." At the same time, he emphasized: "But it's up to the fitness coach and the coach when I play."

Looking at the statistics, the current form, and the historical dominance, everything points to another strong home performance by Dortmund - the only question is whether BVB can extend its streak and once again give Wolfsburg no chance.
