The action continues in round 20 of the German Bundesliga as Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim lock horns at the Volkswagen Arena on Sunday. Both sides have struggled to get going in the league of late and will head into the weekend in search of a pick-me-up.
Wolfsburg were involved in a share of the spoils for the third consecutive game as they played out a 1-1 draw with FC Koln last Saturday. Niko Kovac’s men have now gone four consecutive Bundesliga games without a win, losing once and picking up three draws since a 1-0 victory over Darmstadt on December 16.
With 22 points from 19 matches, Wolfsburg are currently 11th in the league table, three points and three places below Sunday’s visitors.
Meanwhile, Andrej Kramaric grabbed his seventh Bundesliga goal of the season last Saturday to help Hoffenheim hold Heidenheim to a 1-1 draw at the PreZero Arena.
Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side have now failed to win their last six matches across all competitions, losing four and picking up two draws since December’s 3-1 victory over Bochum.
While Hoffenheim will look to find their feet this weekend, results on the road offer little optimism as they have lost their last five away matches in all competitions since the start of December.
