I don't understand the overreaction to the news regarding this match in Dortmund. Hosts do welcome back Haaland after a going the entire month of December without the key Norwegian striker. However, obviously, his form is not going to be perfect from the get-go after this much time on the sidelines.

The 2nd factor was a COVID spike in Wolfsburg camp, but according to various reports not that many players have been effected and, what's more, none of the important ones. The probable lineup for visitors is looking decent and strong.

Unsurprisingly, came Sunday, the odds for Wolfsburg finally shifted and went down. Things in BVB have not improved since the sacking of manager Favre. The specialist was given the boot following 1-5 dysmal defeat against Stuttgart. In the follow up BVB did take 3 points on the road vs. relegation bound Werder Bremen, but then could not follow it up and lost 1-2 against Union Berlin.

It's fair to conclude, that BVB's condition must remain unstable, given they are still under caretaker manager Edin Terzic. He did get an official deal running til June 30 2021, but clearly he will happily step down should a stronger alternative be found by club bosses. Terzic has spent his entire career working as an assistant manager and getting thrown into the flame of a difficult situation like BVB is right now, could prove too much for the 41 year old.

I have been rather impressed by Wolfsburg's football before they went into the winter break. The team was particularly strong in the narrow 1-2 defeat against Bayern, dominating the game for long periods of time. Outshooting Bayern (17 shots vs. Bayern's 13) takes something, as well as recording basically the same number of dangerous attacks 45 vs. 49.

If Wolfsburg is able to take the sort of physically dominant football into 2021, they will no doubt cause numerous issues to BVB tonight. After all, Wolfsburg has only lost once in 13 rounds, so the odds of them going down by more than 1 goal must be definitely lower than they are on the market today.

我不理解人们对多特蒙德这场比赛的过度反应。在整个12月都没有这名挪威前锋的情况下，东道主欢迎哈兰德的回归。然而，很明显，他在场边呆了这么长时间之后，从一开始他的状态就不会是完美的。

第二个因素是沃尔夫斯堡营地的COVID - 19激增，但根据各种报告，并不是很多球员受到影响，更重要的是，没有一个。可能的客队阵容看起来是体面和强大的。

不出所料的是，到了周日，沃尔夫斯堡的赔率最终发生了变化并下降。自从Favre被解雇后，BVB的情况并没有改善。在对斯图加特1-5惨败后，这位专家被踢了。在接下来的比赛中，BVB在客场对阵保级在即的云达不莱梅的比赛中确实得到了3分，但是后来没能追上，1-2输给了柏林。

公平地说，BVB的情况肯定是不稳定的，因为他们仍然在特济奇的管理下。他确实得到了一份截止2021年6月30日的官方合同，但很明显，如果俱乐部老板们找到一个更强大的替代人选，他将很乐意辞职。特尔济奇的整个职业生涯都是在做助理教练，而他也陷入了像BVB现在这样的困境之中，这对41岁的他来说可能太难了。

在沃尔夫斯堡进入寒假之前，他们的足球给我留下了深刻的印象。在以1-2惜败拜仁的比赛中，球队表现得尤为强劲，在很长一段时间里都统治着比赛。射门超过拜仁(17次射门vs.拜仁13次射门)也有一定的帮助，而且危险攻击的次数基本相同，为45次vs. 49次。

如果沃尔夫斯堡能够把这种身体优势带到2021年，他们今晚无疑会给BVB带来很多麻烦。毕竟，沃尔夫斯堡在13轮比赛中只输过一次，所以他们输掉1球以上的几率肯定比他们今天在市场上的表现要低。
