VfL Wolfsburg opened the 2. Bundesliga season with a 1-0 away win over Hannover 96 on 16 Aug and a 0-0 home draw with Kaiserslautern on 8 Aug. Altglienicke, meanwhile, have no league fixtures to show their form, so this match will be decided mainly by tactical nous and player readiness. VfL Wolfsburg's last 30 matches show they score throughout the game (20% in the 1-15 min), but their defense loses focus late on, conceding 26% in the 76-90 min, which is exactly when Altglienicke score most often (27% in the same period). The question here is not who will control the game, but how many goals VfL Wolfsburg can score against a deep-lying defense, and how many counterattacking chances Altglienicke can create late on.
