The 2020-21 edition of the Bundesliga is back in action this weekend as VfL Wolfsburg take on an in-form TSG Hoffenheim outfit at the Volkswagen Arena on Sunday. Both sides have endured mixed starts to their campaigns and will want to pick a victory in this game.

VfL Wolfsburg have a good defensive record this season but have struggled to clinch victories in their Bundesliga matches so far. The home side has drawn four of its last five games and needs all three points from this game.

TSG Hoffenheim did not make the best possible start to their season but came roaring back into the scene with an excellent 5-0 victory against Liberec in the UEFA Europa League this week. The away side has managed only one point in its last four Bundesliga matches, however, and will want to win this fixture.


VfL Wolfsburg vs TSG Hoffenheim Head-to-Head

VfL Wolfsburg have an excellent record against TSG Hoffenheim and have won 12 games out of a total of 25 matches played between the two sides in the recent past. Hoffenheim have managed only six victories and need to improve their record in this fixture.

The previous meeting between these two sides resulted in an exhilarating 2-3 victory for VfL Wolfsburg. Wout Weghorst scored a stunning hat-trick on the day and will play an important role in this game.
