Wolfsburg will host Werder Bremen at the Volkswagen Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have hit a rough patch in the league of late after an overall positive start to their campaign. They were beaten 3-2 by Augsburg in their last league outing, marking a fourth consecutive winless league outing against the Fuggerstädter but returned to winning ways during the week with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig in the DFB Pokal.
Wolfsburg sit mid-table in ninth place with 12 points from nine games. They are three points and three places above their weekend opponents in the league standings and will be looking to widen that gap with a win on Sunday.
Werder Bremen have also had their struggles in the league this season but remain hopeful of survival. They beat struggling Union Berlin 2-0 last time out, taking the lead in the 38th minute via an own goal before Marvin Ducksch doubled their advantage 15 minutes from time with a right-footed effort.
