Wolfsburg, who finished last season at eighth place after snagging the runner-up spot to Bayern Munich in 2014-2015, is currently at the eighth spot again of the German top flight table after opening their season with a win and two draws.
The team is coming off a goalless tie with middling squad Hoffenheim at the Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena last Saturday, as per Vavel.
It was the second consecutive drawn match for head coach Dieter Hecking's side as he tries to steer Die Wölfe to a much better finish this term.
Wolfsburg opened their season with a 2-0 win over Augsburg before being held by Cologne and Hoffenheim in two scoreless draws.
Meanwhile, last season's runner-up squad Borussia Dortmund dismantled visiting SV Darmstadt 98, 6-0, at the Signal Iduna Park also last Saturday, The Guardian reported.
It was a huge bounce back win for Die Borussen after their humiliating 0-1 defeat to newly-promoted club RB Leipzig on the road during the previous week.

It was the second win in three games for head coach Thomas Tuchel's squad as they are now at the fifth spot of the current league table, tied on points with Borussia Monchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt but has a superior goal difference of +6 as compared to the two team's +2 and +1.
