Wolfsburg will have their hands full when Erling Haaland and Borussia Dortmund travel to the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday in a huge game in the context of the top four. Read our reasons for Wolfsburg vs Dortmund prediction and betting tips.
USA international, central defender John Brooks has been a virtual ever-present at the heart of the second stingiest defense in this season's Bundesliga. Wolfsburg has been breached just 30 times in as many games in 2020/21, their rock-solid backline underpinning their push for UEFA Champions League football. They've also been able to count on the goals of Wout Weghorst, who took his tally to a career-best 20 for the campaign with his strike in the 3-1 win at VfB Stuttgart in midweek.
Brooks' customary defensive partner Maxence Lacroix was rested for that game but is expected to be rotated back in along with the suspension-free Paulo Otavio. Marin Pongracic and Jerome Roussillon will be the men to make way as Oliver Glasner's side chase the win that would - barring an end-of-season collapse - guarantee them a top-four finish. Wolfsburg has failed to find the back of the net in eight Bundesliga games against Dortmund; losing seven of those matches and drawing once more during that period, while also conceding 16 times.
Wolfsburg: Casteels (c) - Baku, Lacroix, Brooks, Otavio - Schlager, Arnold - Brekalo, Gerhardt, Philipp - Weghorst
Out: Steffen (ankle)
Doubtful: Mbabu (foot)
Coach: Oliver Glasner
Fifth-placed Dortmund trail Wolfsburg by five points, with Eintracht Frankfurt a point better off than BVB in fourth. With four rounds of fixtures remaining, defeat in Wolfsburg coupled with a Frankfurt win at Bayer Leverkusen could spell curtains for their top-four ambitions. Happily, that's not something they've experienced since losing 2-1 to Eintracht on Matchday 27. Following wins over VfB Stuttgart and Werder Bremen, the Black-Yellows negotiated a potential banana skin in Union Berlin on Wednesday. Haaland missed a penalty and several chances on a rare off-day at the Signal Iduna Park but will be licking his lips at the prospect of being reunited with fit-again winger Jadon Sancho, who made his injury comeback as a substitute in the 2-0 triumph. The England international could get the nod to start over Gio Reyna, while Emre Can replace suspended captain Mats Hummels, with Mahmoud Dahoud slotting into the midfield.
Die Schwarzgelben have won 10 out of 11 meetings (D1) since the Wolves last beat them - a 2-1 win at the Volkswagen Arena in 2014/15. That campaign was the last time Wolfsburg qualified for the Champions League, one where they ended the campaign as runners-up to Bayern Munich. BVB have lost just one of their last four league away games - the 4-2 defeat to Bayern - scoring 11 times in the process at an average of 2.75 goals per game. Marco Reus’s eight goals against Wolfsburg are more than any other player has managed between these two teams.
Dortmund: Hitz - Morey, Akanji, Can, Guerreiro - Bellingham, Delaney, Dahoud - Sancho, Haaland, Reus (c)
Out: Hummels (suspended), Moukoko (shin), Schmelzer (knee), Witsel (Achilles' tendon), Zagadou (knee)
Doubtful: Bürki (ill)
Coach: Edin Terzic

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
