The Bundesliga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as VfL Wolfsburg take on a struggling Hertha Berlin side in an important clash at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday.
VfL Wolfsburg vs Hertha Berlin Preview
VfL Wolfsburg are currently in seventh place in the Bundesliga standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The hosts slumped to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at the hands of SC Freiburg in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Hertha Berlin, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table and have been in abysmal form this season. The away side worked hard to hold VfL Bochum to a 1-1 draw last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

VfL Wolfsburg vs Hertha Berlin Prediction
VfL Wolfsburg have not been at their best over the past month and are in desperate need of a shot in the arm. The hosts risk losing out on a place in Europe and cannot afford to slip up this weekend.
Hertha Berlin are playing for pride at the moment and will be intent on proving their mettle in the top flight. VfL Wolfsburg are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
