Wolfsburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2021-22
The Bundesliga resumes this weekend and will see Wolfsburg host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Volkswagen Arena on Sunday.
Wolfsburg are the in-form side in the Bundesliga at the moment, winning all four of their games so far. Their last win in the Bundesliga was a 2-0 away win over newly promoted Greuther Furth with goals from Lukas Nmecha and Wout Weghorst.
Die Wolfe are top of the Bundesliga with 12 points from an obtainable 12 and have conceded just one goal in the German top flight this season. They had to hold on for a goalless draw in their midweek Champions League clash against Lille. Marco van Bommel's men will now be looking to resume their domestic duties with a win.
Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, have struggled under new boss Oliver Gasner, who was Wolfsburg's manager last season. The visitors are winless in their Bundesliga campaign so far as they lost their opening game before drawing the other three.
Die Adler currently sit 15th in the table and are one of four teams without a win in the Bundesliga so far. Like their hosts, Frankfurt also had European duties midweek, where they drew 1-1 with Fenerbahce in the Europa League. This was the fourth consecutive draw for Oliver Gasner's side.

Wolfsburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Wolfsburg have been in brilliant form this campaign as they have won all their games in the Bundesliga so far. Perhaps the most noteworthy part of Wolfsburg's game this season has been their defense, which has conceded one goal in the league.
Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, are winless in all competitions this campaign. Their poor run should continue against Wolfsburg.
