Bochum halve the deficit!
The hosts are right back in this one! Broschinski's ball across the face of goal beats everyone but Boadu, who taps home at the back post to breathe life into his side. Can they grab another?

xG tells the story
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Amoura already has two assists to his name today, and he almost had a goal to cap his performance. However, he can only find the inside of the upright when one-on-one with Drewes.

Wittek has been one of Bochum's most dangerous players going forward, and he now flashes a shot past the post.

Wolfsburg two to the good!
Wind has his second Bundesliga goal in as many games! Amoura's clever ball back into the box finds the Dane unmarked at the back post, and he acrobatically volleys into the corner.

Wolfsburg sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz on Bochum
"One of Bochum's great strengths is that they don't let difficult situations throw them off track and solve things together. That's part of the club's DNA. Due to the economic opportunities and general conditions, Bochum almost always start the race as an underdog and has to deal with difficult situations over the course of a season, but you can never write them off.

Strong starters, poor finishers
Despite having a +3 goal difference in the first-half of matches, Bochum are the only team in the division without a second-half goal to their name. In contrast, they have conceded nine.
Getting ahead, but not staying ahead
Both teams have dropped a huge eight points from leading positions already this term. Bochum were 2-0 up last time out before losing to Borussia Dortmund 4-2, while Wolfsburg were in front in the second half against Bayern Munich on the opening day before losing 3-2.
Good omen?
For the third time in a row, and the fifth time in the Bundesliga history, Bochum are without a win across their opening five league games. The good news? They have avoided relegation on each occasion!
