Best Tip: Wolfsburg to win

As training goes on this week and the Wolfsburg players prepare themselves for this game, the bookmakers are predicting success for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below also point that way, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) data we use in our predictive algorithms. The Volkswagen Arena has rarely been an easy place to go for Energie Cottbus in the past, and we expect more of the same come Saturday lunch time. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.
