Oliver Glasner’s team needed some start-up time on the weekend in the league match against Freiburg. The Breisgauer were initially the better team and also had the first chance to lead (7th, Höfler). After a quarter of an hour the wolves got better and promptly went through Brooks with 1:0 in front (21st) after a corner. As a result, the home team remained the more pleasant team and then put one on before the break – 2:0 Weghorst (39th). In the second half, the guests arrived strongly and met with Santamaria Aluminium (46th). On the other side Weghorst missed the preliminary decision to 3-0 and only hit the inner post (53rd). The game calmed down to the final stage. The sports club gave the giant chance to a 1-2 by sidekick – Casteels parried strongly (73rd). Then Gerhardt (86th) made the 3-0 decision for THE VFL. Wolfsburg climbed to third place in the table and scored 35 points on the credit side.
On the way to the Cup Eighth Final, the Glasner Elf only met subclassical opponents. In round one there was a 4-1 victory at Union Fürstenwalde and most recently a 4-0 home win against SV Sandhausen from division two.
In the Bundesliga, the wolves won three consecutive zeroes and have been unbeaten for five games. Six of the last seven home games have been won by the Lower Saxons. This season THE VFL has not lost in their own stadium and is the third best home team in the league.
Except for Jerome Roussillion (training backlog) Wolfsburg can receive the S04 in the best cast.

Last Saturday in Bremen, the district club was the better team in the first round. The landlords came only to two long shots and remained harmless. The royal blues had the opportunity to score the first goal after just two minutes, but Hoppe forgave. Overall, there were few opportunities to shoot, but the team of Christian Gross had the better shot, as in the 19th minute by Becker. Shortly before the change of sides, the guests earned the 1-0 lead through Mascarell (38th). After the break tea, the green-whites put on quite a bit and quickly had opportunities to equalize by Toprak (50th) and Sargent (53rd). The S04 was only engaged in defensive work. In the final phase Ferryman steered a header from Osako to the bar (74th). Three minutes later the deserved 1-1 equalisation by Möhwald (77th) fell. Schalke was far too passive even after the equalization and was lucky that Toprak and Rashica (82nd, 87th) did not win. The shorts are last in the table with 8 points and are nine points behind in 15th place and 16th place in the relegation.
At the beginning of November, the Gross-Elf defeated the regional league FC Schweinfurt 05 4-1 in the home Veltins Arena in the first round and was even 0-1 behind. In the second round of the DFB Cup, a fourth-tier team was also met and prevailed against Ulm (3:1).
In the Bundesliga, Schalke lost three consecutive league games before the draw in Bremen. The only victory of the season is almost a month ago. On the 15th day of the match there was a 4-0 home win against TSG Hoffenheim. Outside, the royal blues only scored three points out of nine guest appearances (six bankruptcies) and are still without a threesome. No other club is weaker away and has conceded more goals (30). With 15 goals of the season Schalke is the weakest offensive in the upper house together with promoter Arminia Bielefeld. 49 times it rang in the back – shooting range of the Bundesliga.
Goncalo Paciencia, Salif Sane, Kilian Ludewig, Steven Skrzybski, Frederik Rönnow and Can Bozdogan are injured. The operations of the cold Benito Raman and Suat Serdar are still uncertain.

VFL Wolfsburg is a clear favourite against FC Schalke 04 to enter the DFB Cup 1/8 final. The Lower Saxony had a good run in the Bundesliga and meanwhile advanced to third place. In addition, the wolves have not yet lost in the Volkswagen Arena this season and are now facing a team that is still without victory abroad and performs at least two to three classes worse in this season. The royal blues have only won one game in the league and needed 31 games. The two successes in the first two cup rounds were against regional leagues. The first leg in the Bundesliga between THE VFL and S04 ended in Gelsenkirchen with a 2-0 for Wolfsburg. The trophy has its own laws, but the Grand Elf is simply too weak to win on this strong opponent. The Glasner elf moves into the quarter-finals. Accordingly, our choice for this DFB Cup tip prognosis falls on the 3-way bets Wolfsburg wins, where betting odds in the range around 1.65 wave.
