Wolfsburg-Borussia Dortmund is a match valid for the second round of the German Cup and is played on Tuesday at 8:45 p.m.: news, likely lineups, prediction, TV and streaming.
It was still midsummer when Borussia Dortmund made its debut in Lübeck, overwhelming Phonix, a small club playing in the fourth category of German soccer (Regionalliga), 4-1.
That was the first official match for the yellow-and-whites in the 2024-25 season, which coincided, among other things, with the debut on the bench of Nuri Sahin, the former deputy of Edin Terzic promoted to the first team following the divorce from the Bosnian-born coach in the aftermath of the Champions League final loss to Real Madrid. In the second round of the German Cup, however, Borussia will face a Bundesliga team, Wolfsburg. For Sahin’s men, who have been very inconsistent so far, it is not an easy time: last Saturday they fell to a surprise defeat at the home of the unconquerable Augsburg (2-1), cashing in on their third defeat in their last four matches. Only a few days before, the yellow-and-whites had experienced a kind of psychodrama in Madrid in the Champions League: leading by two goals at the “Bernabeu,” they had collapsed in the second half, cashing in as many as five goals.
And the Bundesliga standings do not lie: Emre Can and his teammates are seventh, already a long way from the top. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Wolfsburg, on the other hand, has to settle for a less-than-exciting 14th place: two wins, two draws and four defeats for the Wolves, whose goal is to bring home salvation as soon as possible and try to get out of the anonymity in which they have been confined for a couple of seasons. Both Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund will take the field with experimental lineups due to the long list of injuries they have to deal with. Space, therefore, for the second lines.

The Prediction
Statistics tell us that on the road Borussia Dortmund is struggling a lot this year, and it may not go smoothly even at the Volkswagen Arena, where the yellow-and-whites have never won in their last two visits. Judging from the data on xGs, however, we are pretty sure there will be no shortage of goals: both are likely to score on at least one occasion.
