"They’ve done brilliantly to steer clear of the relegation battles they had in recent years, and have carried on their momentum this season. We’re going up against a team who aggressively defend on the front foot and are very good with the ball in transition, while they’ve got a lot of power up front. We will have to compete with that and we will.

31%NO MERCYMainz struggle to clear a ball into the box and it falls kindly for Wind, who tucks it home on the turn with his right foot from close range. Goal probabilityGoal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. 56%AHEAD OF THE CURVEThe xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals). The Wolves have been absolutely clinical so far today, and have more goals than they (statistically) have any right to. KRUSE AT THE DOUBLEThe 34-year-old now has 10 Bundesliga goals this season, a league-high five of which have come from the penalty spot.
His back-heeled effort hits the upright, cannons onto Zentner's foot and falls kindly for Wind, who is left with the simplest of tap-ins from close range. 96%PROMISING FROM WOLFSBURGThe game is still very much settling down, but there have been a couple of promising passages of play from the home side, who linked up well with some quick, first-time passing. They'll take confidence from that, particularly after last week's heavy defeat in Dortmund.
