WOLFSBURG PREVIEW: HOSTS ON THE BACK OF FIRST LEAGUE VICTORY
After letting slip a promising position at home to Bayern Munich which saw them take the lead in the second half, Wolfsburg responded well to that setback, defeating Holstein Kiel 0-2 with a hugely professional performance on the road. A quick first-half brace was followed by Wolfsburg shutting the game down expertly against their newly promoted opponents.
That showdown with Bayern Munich provided high entertainment and it would be no surprise if we were in for something similar this time around as well with the Wolfsburg fans expecting big things from this squad.
EINTRACHT FRANKFURT PREVIEW: TOPPMOLLER’S MEN CAPITALISE ON POOR HOFFENHEIM BACKLINE
Eintracht Frankfurt, like their opponents here found themselves two goals up in the first half last time out. In their case it was vs Hoffenheim, who threatened a fight back in the second half. However, Andrej Kramaric’s goal was cancelled out quickly by a third for Frankfurt just two minutes later, sealing a 3-1 win.
When taking into account that their first Bundesliga fixture of the new campaign ended with them being beaten 2-0 away at Borussia Dortmund, always a formidable place to go, Frankfurt can be upbeat about what lies ahead.
WOLFSBURG TEAM NEWS: VAST INJURY LIST A CONCERN
Wolfsburg are set to be without a host of names, such as Joakim Maehle, Lukas Nmecha, Kevin Paredes and Rogerio to name just four players. However, their strength-in-depth is good and should come to their rescue here.

UNAVAILABLE: Bialek (Injured), Maehle (Injured), Majer (Injured), Nmecha (Injured), Paredes (Injured), Rogerio (Injured)

WOLFSBURG VS EINTRACHT FRANKFURT PREDICTION
Eintracht Frankfurt on the back of a dominant attacking display will be confident heading to Wolfsburg and it would be no surprise if they deploy an aggressive playstyle in a bid to force control of the game, perhaps taking advantage of the absentees within Wolfsburg’s side. But the hosts on their patch won’t back down and will surely push bodies forward whenever possible, meeting fire with fire. Therefore, backing both teams to score warrants huge consideration, regardless of the final outcome.
