Wolfburg v Borussia Dortmund match preview

Thirsting to stay abreast of the upper tier of the Bundesliga table, Felix Magath's Wolfsburg travels to Dortmund to face BVB. While the club is buoyed by the come from behind victory against SC Braga in the UEFA Cup they are in desperate need of their first away victory of the campaign. Oddly they have be heading into the perfect situation against BVB as the Dortmund side as been nothing short of abysmal at home, only winning winning twice in seven matches with the balance draws.

Dortmund manager Jürgen Klopp heads into the match without the services of Sebastian Kehl and Nelson Valdez. Wolfsburg will need to tread carefully as BVB possesses an extremely enterprising attack that includes Jakub Blaszczykowski, Alexander Frei, Egyptian international Mohamed Zidan and the always dangerous Tamás Hajnal.

Wolfsburg is still without Grafite but otherwise fully-fit. Ashkan Dejagah will step-in for the injured Brazilian alongside Edin Džeko and as per the Braga match, fit in perfectly with the attack led by Zvjezdan Misimović.

I will report upon the match as it concludes.
