VfL Wolfsburg Haberleri

VfL Wolfsburg have bolstered their attack shortly before the close of the winter transfer window by recruiting Kevin Behrens from 1. FC Union Berlin. The 32-year-old forward has registered 14 goals in 75 Bundesliga outings to date, while he also has experience on the European stage following appearances in the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. Furthermore, Behrens made his senior international debut for Germany in October last year. 

Wolfsburg’s third match of 2024 ended in a third 1-1 draw, although unlike the two trips to Mainz and Heidenheim, it was the Wolves who came from behind against Köln. In a hard-fought contest, the first half was held up for around 15 minutes because one of the assistant referees was knocked out by a clearance from a Köln player. 

The Wolves finally have another home game! And it’s high time, too, as the Green-and-Whites have been much better on their own patch than on their travels this season. As such, three points are the objective against 1. FC Köln on Saturday (kick-off 15:30 CET) in what is VfL’s first home game of 2024.

VfL Wolfsburg were held to an entertaining 1-1 draw by Heidenheim in their first encounter of the second half of the 2023/24 Bundesliga campaign. The Wolves took an early lead through Vaclav Cerny (7’) but the home side responded well and thought they had equalised through Jan Schöppner (21’), only for the goal to be disallowed for offside. Heidenheim did eventually restore parity in first-half stoppage time (45’+2), when Moritz Jenz inadvertently sent the ball into his own net. The hosts had another goal chalked off in the second half as the game ended all square.

Matchday 18 of the Bundesliga is upon us, with the Wolves travelling to 1. FC Heidenheim (Saturday 20 January, kick-off: 15:30 CET) to get the second half of the season under way. The two teams both picked up a point away from home last weekend, with VfL drawing 1-1 at Mainz and Heidenheim also picking up a 1-1 draw at Köln.

VfL Wolfsburg began the new year and ended the first half of the Bundesliga season with a 1-1 draw at 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday afternoon. Vaclav Cerny put the Wolves in front in the 12th minute at the Mewa Arena, but Silvan Widmer levelled for the hosts on 61 minutes. Niko Kovac’s side remain in 10th place in the table for the moment. VfL are back on their travels next Saturday, 20 January (kick-off 15:30 CET), beginning the second half of the campaign away to 1. FC Heidenheim.
