Bundesliga 20. Matchday, Sunday, 02.02.2025 at 3:30 pm
On Thursday, Frankfurt suffered their first competitive defeat in 2025. But the 2-0 loss to AS Roma in the Europa League was not a big drama, the eagles are still directly qualified for the round of 16 in the second-highest international competition.
Nevertheless, the last few games of the SGE defense were not enough for me, and neither were the bookmakers when I looked at the odds. Nevertheless, the third-placed team in my Frankfurt Wolfsburg betting tip starts the game as favorites.
I choose the goal of both teams at Betano and top the overall odds using Bet Builder, adding the over 0.5 goals in half two.
Against Hoffenheim, Frankfurt conceded an equalizer practically at the final whistle and only took one point instead of three. SGE thus missed the opportunity to extend their lead over a non-Champions League place.
Now they face Wolfsburg. VfL also gave away a win last weekend, only drawing 2-2 at home to newly promoted Kiel. Will there be a winner this time?
The betting providers’ prediction
Bet on Eintracht’s seventh win in their tenth home game and get 1.90 odds from the best sports betting apps. Wolfsburg have odds of 3.75 before kick-off, while a draw (3.80) is offered at almost the same odds.
Due to the recent defensive vulnerabilities and the double burden of the favored Frankfurt with the Europa League, I am definitely avoiding an initial bet this time. I expect a close game and a few goals from the strong offenses.
KI prediction Frankfurt vs. Wolfsburg: That’s what ChatGPT tips
With the AI’s safety option, the “low risk” tip, ChatGPT agrees with me and also has both teams scoring on the screen. After all, we saw both teams score in eight of Wolfsburg’s last ten Bundesliga games.
In Frankfurt’s games, it wasn’t quite as common, but the current form definitely doesn’t speak in favor of a clean slate on Sunday. “Over 3.5 goals” is the “medium risk” variant that the artificial intelligence has filtered out of the large odds market.
I can imagine that it will be a tough game. After all, the clubs are among the top four offensive teams in the top flight, the 40 goal scoring club. On average, they score more than 2.0 goals per game.
With the “high risk tip”, the AI would take the Wolfsburg win from the betting provider and add the over 2.5 goals. The odds are high at 4.60, but that’s way too risky for me.
Analysis: Frankfurt vs. Wolfsburg
Ultimately, Wolfsburg has a strong away record. With five wins and one draw in nine matches, the Lower Saxony team has already bagged 16 points on the road. The game in the Deutsche Bank Arena is definitely one of the difficult tasks.
Frankfurt have not won at home yet, but with four goals on average, the spectators have also had plenty to see. In the Europa League, the SGE have won three of four home games and have come through the league phase unbeaten.
Before the 2-2 draw against Hoffenheim, Frankfurt got off to a great start to the year, following up a 1-0 win against St. Pauli and a 4-1 win against Freiburg with a 2-0 win against Dortmund, thus ending their dry spell of poor results in December 2024.
The team coped very well with the sale of Omar Marmoush, celebrating two 2-0 wins without the new Manchester City striker. Hugo Ekitike has scored five goals in his last five games and is now even more in the spotlight.
OddsAnalysis
Elye Wahi was signed as a replacement for Marmoush, but is currently still struggling with hamstring problems. He is not expected to be available against Wolfsburg. Frankfurt are likely to play with a single striker again.
Given Ekitike’s numerous goals, I think 2.12 is a strong odds for a goal on Sunday. We can bet on the goal scorers at Betano, among others.
I think the Ekitike odds are just as good as two single bets on a Jonas Wind or Mohammed Amoura goal. After all, the odds here are 3.50 and 3.60.
In eight of the last nine VfL matches, at least one of the two top scorers has scored a goal.
Frankfurt vs. Wolfsburg: Strong double chance goalscorer bet
Even better than two individual bets on Amoura and Wind is the double chance variant offered at Winamax. If one of the two top offensive men scores, the whopping 2.10 odds are through.
Winamax also welcomes its new customers with a doubling of deposits up to €100 in free bet credit. Particularly frequently played bets are also highlighted here.
In contrast to the AI, the community believes Frankfurt is more capable. SGE’s victory is currently the most trendy odds, followed by “Double Chance 1X”, followed by both teams scoring.
Betano’s new customer bonus is also top. After registration, a €20 free bet awaits before the first deposit if the account has been verified. What’s more, as the official partner of the 2024 European Championships at home, you can top up your credit with Apple Pay.
Top offense, flop defense!
The offensive danger is not only reflected in the goals scored. Frankfurt and Wolfsburg are also at the top of the league with 289 and 247 shots on target.
My mistrust of Frankfurt’s ability to win also has to do with their poor defensive statistics. After Kiel, the Eagles have allowed the most shots on goal. Wolfsburg is also in the top 5 in this unpopular ranking.
We saw a pretty turbulent game in the first leg between Wolfsburg and Frankfurt. Marmoush scored twice to give the Hessians a 2-1 away win. Overall, we saw some top chances in both penalty areas.
The last game at the Deutsche Bank was also a tough one. Again, it was Marmoush who had the last word, scoring the 2-2 equalizer against his former club in injury time.
In 51 duels, Wolfsburg is clearly ahead with 24 wins to 11. 16 times we saw a tie.
The goal difference is more even, with Wolfsburg leading 79:16.
My Frankfurt Wolfsburg tip:
Ralph Hasenhüttl has invigorated the offense since taking over at Wolfsburg. I think that he and his wolves will be able to give Frankfurt a tough time with the intense double burden they have been under recently.
Wolfsburg and Frankfurt are dangerous in front of the opposing goal, but their defensive stats are sobering. There was a lot going on in both the last duels and the last league games of the teams.
In addition, we saw a goal in the second half in twelve of the last 13 SGE games.
Therefore, my Frankfurt Wolfsburg prediction is: Both teams will score & there will be a goal in the second half.
