Hoffenheim will host Wolfsburg at the PreZero Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side kicked off their league campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Freiburg earlier in the month. They then locked horns with newly-promoted Heidenheim in their second league outing and found themselves two goals down early after the restart before Maximilian Beier, Pavel Kaderabek and Andrej Kramaric all got on the scoresheet to secure a 3-2 comeback win for Die Kraichgauer.
Hoffenheim sit mid-table in 10th place with three points from two games and will be looking to add to that tally this weekend.
Wolfsburg, meanwhile, opened their Bundesliga campaign against Heidenheim by picking up a 2-0 win over the league's new boys via a first-half brace from Jonas Wind. They then picked up a 2-1 comeback win over Koln in their last game, with Wind once again grabbing both goals for Niko Kovac's men.
The visitors sit fourth in the Bundesliga standings with six points from an obtainable six. They will be looking to continue their strong run of form when they play on Saturday.
