Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund: Bundesliga Preview and Team News
Previous Meeting: Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Wolfsburg
These two sides last met in the first game of 2021, and it was Borussia Dortmund who came out on top on that occasion. Goals from Manuel Akanji and Jadon Sancho helped the Black and Yellows earn a hard-fought 2-0 win over Wolfsburg.
After a goalless first half, Borussia Dortmund sprang to life in the second, with Manuel Akanji heading the opening goal from Jadon Sancho’s corner in the 66th minute.
As Wolfsburg desperately tried to find their way back into the game, they left plenty of space for Borussia Dortmund to counter-attack. And Jadon Sancho took full advantage in the 92nd minute, as he raced through on goal before calmly slotting the ball into the net to make it 2-0.
It was Sancho’s first Bundesliga goal of the season, and it helped the Black and Yellows claim the all-important three points.
Expect this weekend’s massive six-pointer to be another close affair, with both teams eyeing Champions League qualification.
