With 66 goals conceded from their 30 Bundesliga matches this season, Wolfsburg have the joint-worst defensive record in the division along with basement-dwellers Heidenheim. Because of that, they sit 17th in the league on track for relegation, but their recent win against Union Berlin has given them a glimmer of hope they can pull off an unlikely comeback. Wolfsburg have shown a bit of fight in recent weeks, with six goals scored in their last three matches, but they have let themselves down defensively.
Monchengladbach haven’t been great going forward, with just 36 goals scored this season in the league, but they will fancy their chances of causing problems for Wolfsburg in the final third. Their main task will be keeping the hosts at bay, which Gladbach have struggled to do this season. In fact, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last four league games, with seven goals conceded in that time.
