Wolfsburg will not be too disheartened with their 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich who sit 10 places above them in the table.  During that encounter they had 41% possession and had 5 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 6 shots on goal.  

It's fair to say that manager Ralph Hasenhüttl will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points.  They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 15 of their 16 played at The Volkswagen Arena this season.  

In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Wolfsburg recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.

After an eye catching 3-0 home win in their last match against Borussia Dortmund, the Mainz 05 players will be in buoyant mood ahead of this fixture.  They achieved 31% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Borussia Dortmund's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.  

Their boss Bo Henriksen has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 14 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 4 goals conceded across those matches.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

There will be mixed feelings from Die Nullfünfer, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.  

Goalscorer Jae-sung Lee will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Mainz 05.
