An out-of-form Wolfsburg look for a return to winning form when they take on Hamburger SV on Saturday afternoon.
VFL come into this weekend's Bundesliga contest without a win since January following a dismal defeat at Stuttgart last weekend while Hamburger return to action after back-to-back home reversals against RB Leipzig and Leverkusen.
Hamburger slipped to a narrow home defeat when these sides last met earlier this season, and a similarly tight affair seems likely to develop at Volkswagen Arena.

Wolfsburg and Hamburger SV will meet for only their second competitive fixture since 2018 this weekend. Wolfsburg claimed a 1:0 win in their previous encounter earlier this season.
Wolfsburg team overview
Wolfsburg return to Volkswagen Arena looking to bounce back from a disastrous 4:0 defeat at VfB Stuttgart last weekend. Jamie Leweling scored twice as the hosts raced into a commanding 3:0 lead before the break.
The Wolves have endured a miserable run of form in the past month or so, with only two points collected from seven winless Bundesliga fixtures since mid-January. The hosts now find themselves inside the relegation zone, three points from safety.
In possession of the poorest home record in the division, Wolfsburg failed to win ten of 12 home Bundesliga fixtures this season. Daniel Bauer's side picked up just nine points from those matches.
Head coach Bauer has a massive list of potential absentees this weekend. Joakim Mæhle, Bence Dárdai, Cleiton, Jonas Wind, Kevin Paredes, Kilian Fischer and Rogério are all ruled out, while Jenson Seelt, Mattias Svanberg, Maximilian Arnold and Patrick Wimmer remain doubts for this fixture.

Hamburger SV team overview
Hamburger SV make the trip to Volkswagen Arena looking to recover from a pair of narrow home defeats against RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen. After a 2:1 defeat against RB, Christian Kofane's late goal condemned HSV to a 1:0 setback against Bayer.
Merlin Polzin's side had found some form in the early part of the year, remaining unbeaten in their first six fixtures in 2026 before their home defeats in the past fortnight.
Unbeaten in their last three away fixtures, the visitors now sit 11th in the Bundesliga, four points clear of the drop zone.
Head coach Polzin has three absentees this weekend. Albert Grønbæk, Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit and Nicolás Capaldo are ruled out for the visitors.

Prediction
Wolfsburg have been in dismal form, and they seem unlikely to overcome the challenge of a tough-to-beat Hamburg side.

Three Reasons Why We Expect Hamburg to Win or Draw
- Wolfsburg failed to win 10 of their last 11 matches
- Hamburg are unbeaten in 6 of their last 8 matches
- Hamburg are unbeaten in their last 3 matches
