Wolfsburg hosts Hertha Berlin in the 22nd round of the German Bundesliga.
I watched Wolfsburg almost in every match this season and this team is simply fantastic … if that was a secret for anyone. Wolfsburg is playing some of the best attacking football in Europe and especially at home they are a force to be reckoned with … just beat Sporting 2-0 in EL and in the league have 9 wins in 11 matches at VW Arena … 25-7 goal difference. Unfortunately for Wolfsburg they don’t have much left to fight for, they will finish 2nd, but that has not slowed them down. Last round it was a fabulous 5-4 win at Leverkusen. Wolfsburg can field the same lineup like vs. Sporting, they continue to miss only long term injuries Lopes and Perisic.

Hertha Berlin lost 3 of 4 matches played in 2015. They failed to score in all those 3 losses but even more worrying is their offense … with 40 goals allowed, they allow in average almost 2 goals per game and that will be a big problem against a team of Wolfsburg style and caliber. As if Hertha does not have enough problems, they will be forced to field a weakened lineup again: Baumjohann, Cigerci, Ben-Hatira, van den Bergh, Gersbeck and Jarstein are all unavailable for the visitors ahead of this game.
Wolfsburg creates chances with incredible ease and they are set to have a field day against a team in total crisis, with a horrible defense and which has never been good on the road. With 9 wins in 11 matches at home in Bundesliga (5 of them by at least 2 goals, including the last 2), Wolfsburg is a trustworthy team that is rarely upset by underdogs. Riding their best form of the season and playing excellent attacking football, I expect Wolfsburg to cut trough Hertha’s defense easily and bang in about 3 goals today … even if they had a tough game vs. Sporting in Europa League. My tip will be Wolfsburg to win and cover the 1,5 goal asian handicap. Correct score prediction: Wolfsburg – Hertha Berlin 3-0.
