Welcome to our preview of this important Bundesliga tie between Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund. The away side are once again the most likely candidate to stop Bayern Munich’s seemingly inevitable march to the title this season, and were particularly impressive last time out as they demolished VFB Stuttgart by six goals to one. Jurgen Klopp’s men will be looking for three more points here to keep up the pressure on Bayern Munich. Wolfsburg on the other hand will be looking to maintain the good recent form they have shown.

Team and Selection News
Borussia Dortmund may choose to shuffle their pack for this one, depending on what team they have fielded against Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. One would expect Dortmund to put their strongest possible line-up onto the field for the visit of the Gunners, so perhaps this could be a slightly weakened line-up that travels to Wolfsburg. Polish midfielder Jakub Błaszczykowski may start having been rested on occasion in recent weeks.
Wolfsburg have picked up some more than useful wins over their last few Bundesliga games, and are currently on the verge of the Champions League places, so it is likely that they will be unchanged for this match.
