Top five club Vfl Wolfsburg (7-4-4, 25 points) is set to face middling team Hamburger SV (6-6-3, 21 points) at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday, December 12th for a 2015-2016 Bundesliga season matchup.
Wolfsburg is coming off a tough 1-2 loss to second-running Borussia Dortmund also at their home field last Saturday, as per BBC Sport.
BVB star Marco Reus put the visitors in front early with a goal at the 32nd minute of the match and it took until injury time before the next score came.
Die Wölfe defender Ricardo Rodriguez finally tied the count at the 90th+1, but Die Borussen midfielder Shinji Kagawa immediately took back the lead two minutes later to hand Dieter Hecking's squad its second straight winless effort.
The Wolves have been on a slight skid winning only once in their past four matches as they slid to fifth place in the current league table.
Meanwhile, Hamburg was routed by Mainz, 1-3, in their December 5 match at the Imtech Arena, as reported by Fox Sports.
Mainz winger Jairo had a brace at the 16th and 51st, then followed by a third goal from midfielder Christian Clemens before Hamburg team captain Johan Djourou netted a consolation goal right at full-time.
It was the second defeat of Bruno Labbadia's team in their past six outings, tying them with Bayer Leverkusen on points, but they are a spot below due to a lesser goal differential of -3 to Bayer's -1.
The prediction is Wolfsburg over Hamburg, 3-1. Hecking's men are eager to bounce back from their sorry loss to Dortmund last week.
