Wolfsburg: form
Up and down is the best way to describe Wolfsburg's recent fortunes. After scoring eight goals to win two successive matches, they shipped in six in a record defeat at Dortmund last weekend. A home tie to Hoffenheim represents a chance to get their European ambitions back on track.

Hoffenheim: form
Hoffenheim's first win in three came at the perfect time last weekend against Frankfurt. Thanks to their four-point cushion over the bottom three, Hoffenheim could potentially celebrate safety this weekend. They would need to win in Wolfsburg for that, and then hope both Bochum and Stuttgart lose.

Big win
Reunion for Brooks
John Anthony Brooks, who has better challenges won figures than any other Hoffenheim player this season, is set to face the club he played for between 2017 and 2022.
Cross-happy Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim have scored ten goals from crosses from open play this season - only Cologne have more. Wolfsburg have conceded a league-high 12 goals from crosses this campaign.
No way down
Hoffenheim have never been relegated from the Bundesliga (having been promoted in 2008). For that matter, neither have Wolfsburg, who themselves joined the top flight in 1997.
Fond memories
Wolfsburg captain Maximilian Arnold scored his first ever Bundesliga goal against Hoffenheim - in a 2-2 draw in April 2013. He set a record as the club's youngest ever Bundesliga goalscorer, which remains to this day.
Felix Nmecha bonus
With German international Felix Nmecha in their side this season, Wolfsburg average 1.8 points per match. Without him they average 1.2 points per match.
Happy travellers
Wolfsburg are aiming to secure qualification for European football for the fourth time in five seasons.
