Wolfsburg host Heidenheim at the Volkswagen Arena in the 27th round of games in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The two sides picked up contrasting results in their last outing before the international break.
The hosts hit another bump in their quest for a place in Europe next season, as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Augsburg at the WWK Arena last time out. Before that, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men were on a seven-game unbeaten league run, claiming two wins, since a 3-2 loss to Bayern Munich in January.
Wolfsburg have picked up 38 points from 26 matches to sit eighth in the points table, four points behind sixth-placed Freiburg in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying spot.
Meanwhile, Heidenheim turned in an impressive team display last time out, picking up a comfortable 3-1 victory over Holstein Kiel at Voith Arena. It was a much-needed respite for Frank Schmidt’s men, who were winless in nine league matches, losing six.
Heidenheim have picked up 19 points from 26 matches to sit 17th in the standings, two points above rock-bottom Holstein Kiel and six away from safety.
