VfL Wolfsburg will face Hannover 96 on Sunday at 13:30 in the 2. Bundesliga. The Wolves aim for immediate promotion after a disappointing 16th-place finish in last season's Bundesliga (29 points, 7 wins, 8 draws, 19 losses). With 45 goals scored and 69 conceded (-24 goal difference), the defense remains a concern.
Hannover 96 finished last season with 60 points in fourth place and claimed a strong offense with 60 goals. The home team secured 16 wins, 12 draws, and only 6 losses. VfL Wolfsburg, however, struggles with poor form: in the last five matches, there was only one win, two draws, and two losses (LLDDW).
For Wolfsburg, the game against Hannover is a chance to break the losing streak. After the last defeat against SC Paderborn 07 (2-1) on May 25, 2026, the team must earn points to climb the table. Coach Nico Schulz will have to do without the injured Bence Dárdai.
After the match against Hannover, Wolfsburg faces more key games. With a 60-point deficit to Bayern Munich, the title race is already lost, but the focus is on promotion. Fans hope for a strong performance and a return to the Bundesliga.
