VfL Wolfsburg have put themselves in a strong position to qualify for Europe next season after overcoming TSG Hoffenheim 2-1 at home on Bundesliga Matchday 32. Jakub Kaminski (15’) and Luca Waldschmidt (75’) were on the scoresheet for Niko Kovac’s side in front of 22,617 fans at the Volkswagen Arena, with a Josuha Guilavogui own goal in stoppage time (90’+3) coming too late for the visitors to salvage a point.
The result – the Wolves’ 13th league victory this season – lifts the team up to sixth in the standings ahead of the Sunday fixtures, increasing the gap to eighth place to three points.
