Dortmund Host Unbeaten Wolfsburg With Schlotterbeck Return in Play
A late fitness decision on Nico Schlotterbeck shapes Dortmund’s defensive plan.
Overview
- Borussia Dortmund welcome VfL Wolfsburg on Matchday 4 at the Westfalenstadion with both sides unbeaten to start the Bundesliga season.
- Dortmund’s home dominance in this fixture is pronounced, with seven straight home wins over Wolfsburg and only one goal conceded in that span.
- Previews list multiple BVB absences, including Niklas Süle, Emre Can, Julien Duranville and Fabio Silva, while reports indicate Schlotterbeck’s availability will be decided close to kickoff.
- Wolfsburg’s recent vulnerability has come late, with three of their five league goals conceded arriving in stoppage time over the last two matchdays.
- Set pieces remain a major Wolfsburg strength under Paul Simonis, and Mohammed Amoura has been flagged as a primary attacking threat.
