Head to Head
Wolfsburg and Dortmund have faced each other 21 times over the past decade. Dortmund hold a commanding 15-3 H2H advantage from those fixtures.
Wolfsburg Form
Wolfsburg turn their attention to the DFB Pokal after a frustrating goalless draw at recently promoted St Pauli on Saturday.
Ralph Hasenhüttl's side have endured a tough run of results in the Bundesliga, failing to win five of their last six matches (W1, D2, L3). Five of those games saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored before Saturday's stalemate in Hamburg.
High-scoring outcomes have been frequent in the Wolves home fixtures this year. Eight of their last ten matches at Volkswagen Arena saw BTTS, while seven of those games saw a minimum of four goals scored.
Wolfsburg Team News
Head coach Hasenhüttl has several injury concerns to deal with this week. Rogério, Kevin Paredes, Bartosz Bialek, Niklas Klinger, Aster Vranckx and Lukas Nmecha are all expected to miss out for the home side.
Borussia Dortmund Form
Borussia Dortmund come into Tuesday's DFB Pokal clash after a tough week that saw them lose back-to-back matches against Real Madrid (5-2) and Augsburg (2-1).
Since a scintillating 7-1 win against Celtic at the start of the month, BVB have lost three of four matches - all three defeats came on their travels.
Nuri Sahin's men have been a reliable choice in the goal markets this season. Die Borussen saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals in eight of their last nine matches. An average of five goals were scored in those nine fixtures.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
Head coach Sahin is unable to call on numerous players on Tuesday.
Giovanni Reyna, Karim Adeyemi and Julien Duranville are definite absentees, while Julian Ryerson, Niklas Sule, Waldemar Anton and Yan Couto are also likely to remain unavailable.
