Wolfsburg travel to the BayArena for a Bundesliga clash against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday with a chance to move level on points with their hosts.
Wolfsburg are currently outside the top four in the Bundesliga, but only on goal difference. They have 29 points from 17 games, the same as Borussia Dortmund, but their goal difference is four goals inferior to Edin Terzic's side.
However, they have only won one of their last four Bundesliga matches, and have picked up just six points in that period. That run has stopped them from making further progress up the table.
As for Bayer Leverkusen, they pulled off an excellent victory in their last game, when they beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at the BayArena.
That was their first win in five Bundesliga games. Coach Peter Bosz will look for his team to string together a good run of results, now that momentum is back on their side.
They have 32 points from 17 games at the moment, and unless they lose by five goals, they will not go below Wolfsburg in the table.
