Their mini-revival checked by successive Bundesliga losses in recent weeks, Wolfsburg are presently wading through a tricky patch.

The hosts' fortunes contrast starkly to those of visiting Hoffenheim, who breezed past 1. FSV Mainz 05 with a season-high equalling 4-0 win on Matchday 19, a result that softened the blow of recently losing their lengthy unbeaten Bundesliga run. Visiting tactician Julian Nagelsmann travels to the Volkswagen Arena a year and a day since taking over at the Sinsheim-based club, yet will no doubt put any anniversary celebrations on hold unless points are picked up.
