WOLFSBURG – HOFFENHEIM: BUNDESLIGA PREDICTION (09.05.2025)

On May 9, 2025 at 00:30 WIB, a German Bundesliga match between Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim will take place. Bookmakers see the teams as roughly equal in strength, but the visitors are more motivated. Let’s look at the current form of both teams and give our prediction for the game.

WOLFSBURG
The main news from the “Wolves” camp is the dismissal of the head coach. Ralph Hasenhüttl couldn’t last until the end of the season, with only two rounds remaining. Earlier this spring, Wolfsburg were still competing for European spots, but they haven’t won in two months. During this period, the “Wolves” played 8 matches and collected only two points from draws against St. Pauli (1:1) and Mainz (2:2). In their last match, they suffered a heavy 0:4 defeat against Borussia Dortmund, after which the club’s management ran out of patience. Wolfsburg enter this match in 12th place and are guaranteed to stay in the top division.

HOFFENHEIM
“The Villagers” are in a tougher position. The team has yet to secure Bundesliga survival. Hoffenheim sit 15th in the standings and, with two games left, are 5 points ahead of Heidenheim and 6 points ahead of Holstein. In the final round, they face Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Union Berlin has a relatively easier schedule against Heidenheim and Augsburg, with opportunities to pick up points in both. Therefore, Hoffenheim need to earn points in this round to avoid relying on rival slip-ups.

STATISTICS AND HEAD-TO-HEAD
In the last five meetings, Wolfsburg lead the record with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 win for Hoffenheim. Only one of the five matches ended with under 2.5 total goals.

PREDICTION
In the Wolfsburg – Hoffenheim match, we predict in favor of the visitors. The hosts are without a head coach and in crisis, while “The Villagers” are highly motivated. Therefore, betting on Hoffenheim not to lose at odds of 1.68 looks interesting.
