Wolfsburg vs Sandhausen Prediction & Betting tips
An unequal duel resulted in the DFB Cup. With the current fourth place in the Bundesliga, a former overall winner of this competition (2015) welcomes the current third from bottom of the 2nd Bundesliga. While the Wolves go into the match with the third best defense in the top German league, the SVS has not scored a competitive goal in 290 minutes.
It is true that the DFB Pokal, which is known to have no return matches, already has its own special stories on some adventurous evenings. A visiting team that has lost five of its last six league games and recently even suspended its goalkeeper does not, in our opinion, have any potential to cause a surprise.
The away goal of the Palatinate would be a little surprise given the stable defense of the Wolves. Accordingly, at Wolfsburg against Sandhausen.
Wolfsburg :
For VfL Wolfsburg, things are still going like clockwork. After a solid seventh place in the 2020/21 season, Oliver Glasner’s team initially failed very bitterly in the playoffs for the Europa League at AEK Athens. In the league, however, absolutely nothing burned for a long time.
It took until the twelfth matchday before the Lower Saxony had to accept their first defeat at national level of the current season. A close 1: 2 away from the reigning triple winner Bayern Munich was relatively easy to cope with. In the other twelve league games, however, VfL scored 24 out of a possible 36 points.
Accordingly, the German champion of the year 2009 is currently fully on target and goes into the short winter break with his head held high. The Wolves occupy fourth place in the table and would have made it back to the UEFA Champions League five years after their last appearance in the premier class.
At that time, they said goodbye with a strong performance in the quarter-finals against eventual overall winner Real Madrid, when the first leg was even won 2-0 at home. But before the league starts looking for points again at the beginning of January, the second round of the DFB Cup should be survived intact.
The fact that they haven’t lost to a lower-class club in the cup since the 2010/11 season speaks for the Lower Saxony. Correspondingly, the 2015 cup winner should play this home game against a troubled second division club. In view of the strong defense of Lower Saxony, it is very likely that Wolfsburg’s tip against Sandhausen will win the Glasner team to zero.
After all, the green-whites conceded only 13 goals in 13 games in the Bundesliga, which certifies them the third-best defense on the entire top floor of German football. The home dress rehearsal against Stuttgart was also successful on Sunday, when a deflected free kick was enough for the 1-0 victory with a clean slate.
Sandhausen :
For SV Sandhausen, the current downward trend continues unabated. At the end of November – the Kurpfälzer had just lost 0-1 away to Bundesliga relegated Düsseldorf – those responsible tried to end the crisis by putting coach Uwe Koschinat in front of the door.
Michael Schiele took over and promptly there was a 1: 4 home defeat against Aue on the following match day, although SVS had previously been undefeated in their own stadium in four home games. The kickers from the Hardtwald then beat the desolate bottom of the line Würzburg 3-2 away. The following three league games were all lost again.
Particularly bitter was certainly the fact that the black and whites didn’t score a single goal in the last three games, but conversely, they conceded en masse. Michael Schiele has already conceded 15 goals in five league games. In the eight previous league games, there were only twelve goals against.
The coach, who still has to do without his injured defense chief Aleksandr Zhirov, tried to bring in a new impulse with a goalkeeper change last weekend. Rick Wulle took over for Martin Fraisl, who made his bank frustration so bad that the people of Electoral Palatinate suspended him without further ado and advised him to change clubs in winter until the summer of 2022, despite the current contract.
Away in the cup, therefore, only the regular second keeper is between the posts, while in front of him a defensive, which has recently been shining again and again with lack of concentration, has to close the rooms without the actual defense chief.
