FC Bayern already laid down a marker in the opening match of the Bundesliga season with a comfortable 6-1 win at Europe League winners Eintracht Frankfurt. The Wolves began their league campaign with a 2-2 draw at home to Werder Bremen.

VfL Wolfsburg started well against Bayern Munich on Bundesliga Matchday 2 but ended up slipping to a 2-0 defeat at the home of the German champions.

After one point from the first two league games of the season, VfL Wolfsburg have their eyes on all three against FC Schalke 04 this Saturday, 20 August (kick-off 15:30 CEST). While the Wolves lost 2-0 at Bayern Munich last Sunday, S04 – who began the campaign with defeat to Köln – rescued a late point in a 2-2 draw at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach. However, the Green-and-Whites have become something of a bogey team for the Royal Blues in recent years, with Schalke losing each of the last four meetings between the teams in all competitions and failing to score in the last three.

A glance at the history books offers encouragement for the Wolves as they prepare to take on FC Schalke 04 on Saturday 20 August (kick-off 15:30 CEST), looking for their first league win of the season.

In a quick interview, VfL right-back Ridle Baku told us how he sees things ahead of the match against Schalke.

VfL Wolfsburg earned their second draw of the new Bundesliga season after a goalless stalemate at home to promoted side Schalke 04 on Bundesliga Matchday 3. Niko Kovac’s charges were by far the more dominant side in a game in which Koen Casteels stole the spotlight shortly before the interval by saving a penalty twice, the spot-kick having been retaken due to encroachment. After the break it was Schalke goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow’s turn to shine, the custodian keeping out a number of VfL’s efforts in front of a crowd of 26,959 at the Volkswagen Arena.

The fourth Maximilian Arnold Wölfe Camp was held from Thursday to Sunday at the Haus am Bernsteinsee, where young cancer sufferers and their families were able to enjoy some peace and quiet at the lake’s recreation area and a fun-filled few days with VfL Wolfsburg.
