Wolfsburg will host Bochum at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday afternoon in another round of the 2022-23 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have had mixed results this season and sit just outside the drop zone with a third of the campaign now gone. They played out a 2-2 draw against floundering Bayer Leverkusen in their last game and headed towards all three points before Die Werkself leveled the scores in the final 15 minutes of the game.
Wolfsburg sit 14th in the Bundesliga standings with 11 points picked so far and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Saturday.
After kicking off the season on a poor note, Bochum have shown positive signs under new manager Thomas Letsch. They beat league leaders Union Berlin 2-1 last time out, with Philipp Hoffman and Gerrit Holtmann getting on the scoresheet for the Blues before the Berlin outfit scored a late consolation goal.
The visitors sit 17th in the league table with seven points from 11 games. They are just one point above rock-bottom and will be looking to widen that gap.
