…Wolfsburg have already beaten Hoffenheim two times this season?

VfL won the reverse fixture in the Bundesliga (1-0) and the DFB-Pokal tie (3-0) against TSG. Wolfsburg could now claim three competitive wins against the same opponent in a single season for the first time since 2020/21.

…Wolfsburg are currently in the worst form in the league?

VfL are winless in eight rounds of Bundesliga matches (two draws and six defeats). Wolfsburg are additionally without a win on home turf in seven games (four draws and three defeats) and will set new negative club records if they go eight home games without a win or suffer four consecutive home defeats.

…both teams have weaknesses to contend with in attack and defence?

Wolfsburg have picked up only 12 points in the second half-season – only Bochum (11) have amassed fewer. Hoffenheim have also picked up just six points in their last eight games. Excitingly, Hoffenheim scored three goals from corners in one match for the first time in the recent 4-4 draw against Gladbach, while Wolfsburg have conceded the most goals from corners in the league (12).

…Hoffenheim's top players are currently delivering?

Andrej Kramarić claimed a hat-trick of assists last time out – a feat that he has managed on only two previous occasions. Adam Hložek has scored in back-to-back games, surpassing his goal tally from 52 games for Leverkusen in his first season.

…Wolfsburg have opted for a fresh start under interim coach Daniel Bauer?

Daniel Bauer was appointed following the departure of coach Ralph Hasenhüttl. What is striking is that the last eight Wolfsburg coaches have not lost on their Bundesliga debut, with the last five even winning their first match in charge.
