Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund return to action in the DFB-Pokal when they go head-to-head at the Volkswagen Arena on Tuesday. Nuri Sahin’s visitors head into the cup clash on a run of four consecutive away defeats.
The hosts continue to struggle for consistency in the Bundesliga, as they were held to a goalless draw by St. Pauli at the Millerntor-Stadion on Saturday. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side have won two of their eight league games, losing four, and are 14th in the standings.
Wolfsburg now turn their focus to the DFB-Pokal, where they avoided an upset in the first round with a hard-fought 1-0 win over amateur side TuS Koblenz on August 19.
Trending
Dortmund, meanwhile, failed to arrest their slump in form, as they fell to a disappointing 2-1 loss to Augsburg at the WWK ARENA on Saturday. Sahin’s men have lost three of their last four outings across competitions, including a 5-2 loss to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League at the Santiago Bernabeu last week.
Dortmund, who have dropped to seventh in the Bundesliga, turn their focus to the DFB-Pokal, where they kicked off the campaign with a 4-1 victory over Phönix Lubeck in August.
