Wolfsburg vs. Borussia Dortmund: Team News, Preview, Live Stream and TV Info

With just two matchdays remaining in the German Bundesliga season, Borussia Dortmund travel to second-placed Wolfsburg with high hopes of continuing their good run of form and grabbing one of the remaining Europa League spots. 

However, standing in Jurgen Klopp's way will be a determined Wolves team that have been whipped into shape by Dieter Hecking and proven themselves as one of the most formidable teams in Germany this season. 

If this season has proven anything, it's that a whole host of clubs are more than happy to step into the void left by Dortmund whenever they slip up. Wolfsburg have been the most impressive of these teams and on Saturday they will hope to prove that second place is theirs for much longer than just a season fling.

Team Lineups 

The home side should lineup in their usual setup on Saturday with Diego Benaglio in goal, behind a back line of Ricardo Rodriguez and Christian Trasch at left-back and right-back respectively while Nando and Timm Klose take up their roles in the middle of the park. 

The midfield pairing will undoubtedly be Maximilian Arnold and Josuha Guilavogui, while Andre Schurrle, Kevin de Bruyne and Daniel Caligiuri sit behind Bas Dost in attack. 

Dortmund will also play in a standard 4-2-3-1 formation, with Mitch Langerak playing behind Erik Durm, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Mats Hummels and Marcel Schmelzer. 

Sven Bender and Ilkay Gundogan will take up their usual spots in the middle of the park as Marco Reus possibly returns to the starting XI—after returning to full training this week, according to the club website— alongside Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Kevin Kampl. With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up front as the lone striker. 

Key Players

Kevin de Bruyne

Although this Wolfsburg side is full of quality players, De Bruyne is unquestionably the stand-out performer in this team and perhaps the biggest reason Hecking's side have enjoyed so much success this season. 

According to Whoscored.com, the Belgian international has picked up an incredible 15 goals and 24 assists in all competitions. A tally he'll undoubtedly be hoping to add to on Saturday. 

Marco Reus

Although the German international may not be able to play the full 90 minutes on Saturday, Klopp will be hopeful that Reus can unlock this most stubborn of defences and add an extra dimension to Dortmund's attack on Saturday. 

The left-winger has already scored against Bayern Munich and Schalke this season yet has missed any opportunity to take on the Wolves thus far. Perhaps Saturday is when he can finally put the new Bundesliga challengers to the sword.
