Wolfsburg ended their two game slide by earning an impressive 3-1 win over Stuttgart on Wednesday. It was a vital win for their top four hopes ahead of this weekend’s crunch showdown. The Wolves have the Bundesliga’s second best defence, having let in just 30 goals so far this season.

Oliver Glasner’s side currently hold a five point lead over Borussia Dortmund. And if they can avoid defeat on Saturday, they will fancy their chances of qualifying for the Champions League for the first time since the 2015–16 season.
