There will be fireworks when Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund go head to head at Volkswagen Arena on Matchday 31.
The Wolves quickly bounced back from a 3-2 loss to Bayern Munchen, with the team moving one step closer to booking their place in the Champions League thanks to a 3-1 win at Stuttgart.
Wolfsburg are high on confidence ahead of the visit of Borussia Dortmund, and we are positive that they will find the net in Saturday’s clash.
Renato Steffen should be the only absentee in the home team. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team recording a win in each of their previous three league fixtures.
Given their attacking potential, we are positive that Erling Haland and Co.are going to find the net against Wolfsburg. Mats Hummels is banned for the match.

Team News:
Wolfsburg remain without Renato Steffen due to ankle ligament damage, with the creative winger hoping to return for his side's next match against Union Berlin in two weeks' time.
Kevin Mbabu is also a doubt once again, this time due to a foot injury, with Ridle Baku likely to continue to deputise at right-back.
Glasner will have Otavio available again, though, after the left-back served his one-match suspension against Stuttgart.
Otavio is likely to replace Jerome Roussillon, with Maxence Lacroix also expected to return alongside Brooks in defence after receiving a rare rest in midweek.
Dortmund, meanwhile, have been dealt a severe blow after Mats Hummels received a suspension for picking up his fifth booking of the season against Union Berlin in midweek.
With Dan-Axel Zagadou out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury, Emre Can may be forced to drop back into defence, with Mahmoud Dahoud and Thomas Delaney potentially coming in to bolster the midfield alongside Jude Bellingham.
That may mean Giovanni Reyna and Thorgan Hazard both making way, with Jadon Sancho impressing from the bench upon his return from injury on Wednesday and likely to start.
Mateu Morey should displace Lukasz Piszczek at right-back after receiving a rest against Union Berlin, with Youssoufa Moukoko, Roman Burki and Marcel Schmelzer all ruled out of the trip.
