VfL Wolfsburg vs Hertha Berlin Prediction (27.05.2023)

On Saturday afternoon, Wolfsburg will look to book their place in Europe next season as the Wolves host Hertha Berlin in gameweek 34 of the Bundesliga season.

The Wolves are in seventh place in the Bundesliga table, a point adrift of the European spots in the German top flight. A 2-0 defeat at Freiburg last time out in the league was their second defeat in their last three matches in the Bundesliga.

Their recent league games have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches in the Bundesliga.

Wolfsburg heads into this clash on the back of six home games in the Bundesliga, having recorded back-to-back league victories in the German top flight. Their recent league games at the Volkswagen Arena have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in 11 of their last 14 home matches in the Bundesliga.

The team from the German capital have already suffered relegation from the Bundesliga. A 1-1 home draw against Bochum coupled with other results last weekend ended the visitor's survival hopes.

Hertha’s woeful recent league form has been a big factor in their relegation, as they have lost five of their previous seven Bundesliga games. Their poor defensive displays have also been a big reason for their relegation, as the visitors have conceded at least two goals in four of their last six league matches.

The Old Lady has a woeful away record in the Bundesliga, as they have failed to win on their travels in the German top flight in 13 games, having suffered 11 defeats.

Wolfsburg will be without Paulo Otavio, Maxence Lacroix and Lukas Nmecha due to injuries. Hertha Berlin will be without Kelian Nsona through injury and Maximilian Mittelstadt due to suspension. Filip Uremovic, Marc Oliver Kempf and Ivan Sunjic are also doubts.

Wolfsburg needs a victory to have a chance to seal European football for next season and I am backing the Wolves to get the win they need.
