Genius and madness combined: Maxence Lacroix

On the one hand, the 24-year-old has already scored four goals this season, the most among all defenders, and on the other hand, Maxence Lacroix has already received three dismissals this season. This was also the case in the first leg, when the Frenchman received a red card in the 27th minute for a foul as the last defender. Last weekend the central defender showed his different face again, in the 90th minute Lacroix scored from 25 meters with a 121 km/h shot for the 2-1 winning goal at FC Freiburg.

Strong running wolves

Furthermore, VfL’s running and sprinting performance is a real strength of Lower Saxony. The Wolfsburg team were already at the top of the statistics here last season and that hasn’t changed this year either. With 24,561 intensive runs, coach Ralph Hasenhüttl’s team has almost 900 more intensive runs than second-placed Eintracht Frankfurt. VfL also presents itself strongly in the sprints category, with 7,657 sprints the Wolves are in second place in the league, only 1. FC Heidenheim is a bit better here.

Goal spectacle rather unlikely

The fans and spectators should probably expect a somewhat defensive game on Saturday afternoon. With 26 big chances each, both teams are ranked 17th in the Bundesliga in this statistic. However, Ralph Hasenhüttl will certainly be pleased that his team took advantage of 14 of these great chances. With 30 and 37 goals respectively, both clubs are in the bottom third of the league in terms of goals scored, and this definitely does not meet their own standards, especially on the Wolfsburg side. The close first game result in the Bölle, when the Wolves won 1-0, also underlines the statistics.

Suspensions Looming

Torsten Lieberknecht will not have to do without any player suspended for yellow on Saturday (04/05/15:30) in Wolfsburg. Emir Karic and Jannik Müller both have four warnings each, so they have to be careful that they are not suspended against Hoffenheim. Central defender Sebstiaan Bornauw is missing from the host side; the 25-year-old picked up his fifth card in the 90+3 minute in the last game against Freiburg.

Encounter with the old club

It could certainly have been a special game for Bartol Franjic on Saturday. The 24-year-old is on loan to the Lilies from VfL Wolfsburg this season, but the Croatian has already been able to collect his first Bundesliga minutes in the Lower Saxony jersey. In the summer of 2022, the midfielder moved from Dinamo Zagreb to VfL, and in the 2022/23 season he played five games for the Wolves due to some injury problems. Franjic has appeared 20 times at SVD this season, but has to sit out injured on Saturday.

Goalkeeper Alexander Brunst also wore the Wolfsburg jersey; the 28-year-old was active in the second team from 2015 to 2017. Julian Justvan was also with the second representative; he played for the Wolves from 2017 to 2020.

Sebastian Polter spent the longest time in Lower Saxony. The striker already played for VfL in his youth and joined the U17 team in 2007. Polter also made his professional debut for Wolfsburg in the 2011/12 season. The now 33-year-old played a total of 12 Bundesliga games with the Wolves, in which he scored two goals.
