Wolfsburg host Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday (May 13).
While the hosts will look to move into the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot, Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men will set out to all but confirm their safety following a turbulent campaign.
Wolfsburg suffered their heaviest league defeat of the season, as they were hammered 6-0 by title-chasing Borussia Dortmund on Sunday. Before that, Niko Kovac’s men were on a three-game undefeated run, picking up seven points from a possible nine.
With 46 points from 31 games, Wolfsburg are seventh in the Bundesliga, two points off sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen in the Conference League qualification spot.
Hoffenheim, meanwhile, pulled clear of the danger zone with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. Die Kraichgauer have now won three of their last four home games, with a 3-1 loss against FC Koln on April 22 being the exception.
With 32 points from 31 games, Hoffenheim are 14th in the league table, four points above 16th-placed Stuttgart in the relegation playoff spot.
