VfL Wolfsburg vs. SpVgg Greuther Fürth
The Bundesliga is back. After the seemingly endless break, we finally get to see German professional football again. In addition, we also get a whole series of top matches. In addition to Bayern – Leipzig and Dortmund – Leverkusen, there is also an interesting duel in the bottom of the table. VfL Wolfsburg and Greuther Fürth are probably the worst teams in the league at the moment. We have taken a close look at this duel for you and made a forecast and three betting tips. You can find all of this here in our Wolfsburg – Fürth betting tips.
The Wolves from the Autostadt are currently in an absolute slump. They are on the brink of relegation. Some very wild winter transfers are now expected to bring about a turnaround. The bottom team in the table, Fürth, is probably the perfect opponent. The Franconians, however, have been doing quite well lately. They can’t quite believe it themselves. They haven’t lost in four games and recently they even managed to win against Mainz.

Wolfsburg Form & Balance Check
VfL Wolfsburg are currently the worst team in the league. They have only managed to pick up one point from their last eight games. That was in the 0-0 draw against Hertha from Berlin. Otherwise, the Wolves have regularly suffered defeats. Even against teams like Stuttgart or Bochum, who are in the relegation battle themselves, they had to leave the pitch without any points. A number of winter transfers are now expected to turn things around. It has been communicated that coach Kohfeldt is very satisfied with the new signings. Now, however, they have to show what they are actually capable of.
A coming and going
What can otherwise be taken as a motto for a house of pleasure currently also applies to VfL Wolfsburg. The Wolves have rotated a lot of personnel in the winter transfer window. For example, striker Wout Weghorst has left for England. Max Kruse and Jonas Wind came as replacements for him. Kevin Paredes was also signed for the midfield. The new arrivals must now show that they can pull the VW’ers out of the mess.
Wolfsburg Facts & Analysis
– Without a win for nine games
– Picked up just one point in the last eight games
– Kruse brought back
– Weghorst has left the club
Fürth form & balance check
What Fürth are currently bringing to the pitch, they probably can hardly believe themselves. They have been unbeaten for four games. With three draws and one win, they have also picked up 60% of their total points in that time. Especially the last performance against Mainz leaves a lot of room for hope. Against Wolfsburg, who have been bottomless on the road lately, this series could very well continue now. However, there is one major shortcoming. The Franconians are by far the worst away team and they have only managed to pick up a single point away from home. This statistic will of course please all Wolfsburg fans. Nevertheless, not everything is as it normally is for the Kleeblättern lately, as they have learned how to pick up points.
Kruse as a good omen
Most Bundesliga clubs tend not to like it when Max Kruse is in the starting eleven for their opponents. Fürth, on the other hand, will probably be happy about that, because against Kruse’s former club Union Berlin, the Franconians were able to get the first home win in their Bundesliga history this season. Thus, they have already shown that they are not afraid of Max Kruse.
Fürth facts & analysis
– Currently bottom of the table
– Four games without defeat
– Worst away team
– Only one point in foreign stadiums
Predicted line-up – last update on 4 February 2022
The Wolves still have to do without regulars Schlager and Nmecha. Both are still in rehabilitation training. Due to Weghorst’s departure, we assume that Kruse and Wind will be in the starting eleven together. The defence will probably remain untouched. The Spielvereinigung will still have to do without regular goalkeeper Funk. Otherwise, only the long-term injured Ngankam and Kehr are not ready for action. Gideon Jung is fit again, to the delight of all Fürth players. Nevertheless, we expect the same eleven to start as against Mainz.
