VfL Wolfsburg form and stats

There's been little loot from VfL Wolfsburg's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 15 away games in the Bundesliga. VfL Wolfsburg only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Wolfsburg are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Wind (2) and Kruse (3) scored in VfL Wolfsburg's previous match, the home game against Mainz 05 that ended 5-0. As you can tell from the results above, VfL Wolfsburg was very dominant against Mainz 05, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Wind (2) and Kruse (3) providing the goals. Kruse certainly enjoyed Wolfsburg's last game versus Mainz 05, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 5-0 victory. The attacker Kruse got a match rating of 9.22 in that game. Kruse scored three goals, hit one key pass and had 47 successful passes (of 54 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Borussia Dortmund wasn't a success with a 1-6 loss.

VfL Wolfsburg are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 16 away goals from 15 games (in the league). Wolfsburg have conceded 32 goals in these games.
