Explore Bwin's detailed preview for VfL Wolfsburg vs 1899 Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 16:30 GMT match.

• Fixture: VfL Wolfsburg vs 1899 Hoffenheim

• Date: Sunday, 02 November 2025

• Kick-off: 16:30 GMT

• Venue: Volkswagen Arena

VfL Wolfsburg, despite a recent string of losses, could leverage their home advantage to challenge Hoffenheim. Their last victory was a narrow 1-0 win against Hamburger SV, suggesting a potential for defensive solidity. However, their offensive struggles, evident in losses like 0-3 to VfB Stuttgart and 0-1 to RB Leipzig, might hinder their ability to break down Hoffenheim's defence.

Hoffenheim, on the other hand, have shown more consistency with recent wins against 1. FC Heidenheim and FC St. Pauli. Their ability to score multiple goals in these matches indicates a potent attack that could exploit Wolfsburg's defensive frailties. However, their loss to Bayern München and draw with SC Freiburg suggest vulnerabilities that Wolfsburg might target.

VfL Wolfsburg's recent form has been poor, with four losses in their last five matches. Their only win came against Hamburger SV, a 1-0 victory away from home, which might offer some hope. However, their inability to score in three of those losses, including a 0-3 defeat to VfB Stuttgart at home, indicates significant offensive challenges that could impact their performance against Hoffenheim.

Recent Bundesliga Results:

• Win: 1-0 vs Hamburger SV (A)
• Loss: 0-3 vs VfB Stuttgart (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs FC Augsburg (A)
• Loss: 0-1 vs RB Leipzig (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Borussia Dortmund (A)

1899 Hoffenheim have shown better form, securing two wins in their last five matches. Their victories over 1. FC Heidenheim and FC St. Pauli, both by multiple goals, demonstrate a strong attacking threat. However, their loss to Bayern München and draw with SC Freiburg suggest they are not invincible, which could give Wolfsburg some hope of exploiting their weaknesses.

Recent Bundesliga Results:

• Win: 3-1 vs 1. FC Heidenheim (H)
• Win: 3-0 vs FC St. Pauli (A)
• Loss: 0-1 vs 1.FC Köln (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs SC Freiburg (A)
• Loss: 1-4 vs Bayern München (H)

The head-to-head record between VfL Wolfsburg and 1899 Hoffenheim shows a competitive rivalry, with recent matches often ending in draws. Wolfsburg secured a 1-0 victory in their last away game against Hoffenheim, but their home encounters have been more evenly matched. Hoffenheim's 3-1 win in September 2023 indicates their capability to triumph over Wolfsburg, adding intrigue to this fixture.

The predicted lineup suggests a focus on defensive stability with Kumbedi, Seelt, Koulierakis, and Zehnter, while Eriksen and Wind will be crucial in breaking down Hoffenheim's defence.

• Predicted lineup: Baumann (GK), Coufal (if fit) (DF), Hranac (DF), Hajdari (DF), Bernardo (DF), Kramaric (MF), Avdullahu (MF), Burger (MF), Toure (MF), Lemperle (AT), Asllani (AT)

Hoffenheim's predicted lineup indicates a balanced approach, with Hranac and Coufal providing defensive solidity, and Kramaric and Lemperle expected to lead the attack.

• Jonas Wind vs Robin Hranac: Wind's ability to find space and score will be tested against Hranac's defensive prowess.

• Vinicius Souza vs Andrej Kramaric: Souza's midfield control will be crucial in neutralising Kramaric's influence on the game.

• Christian Eriksen (VfL Wolfsburg): Eriksen's creativity and goal-scoring threat from midfield could be pivotal for Wolfsburg's chances.

• Tim Lemperle (1899 Hoffenheim): Lemperle's pace and finishing ability make him a key threat in Hoffenheim's attack.
