Previous meetings between the clubs
The official record across the last five years is balanced: three meetings produced one Hertha win, one draw and one Wolfsburg win. The latest competitive encounter ended with Hertha winning 2:1 away in May 2023. Before that, Wolfsburg won 5:0 in Berlin, while the earlier meeting finished 0:0. Across those three matches, Hertha scored 2 goals and Wolfsburg scored 6, so the historical sample favours the visitors in total scoring despite Hertha’s most recent win.
A friendly in October 2025 ended 2:0 for Hertha, but it is excluded from the official head-to-head record and carries less weight than the current-season league figures.

Team news, motivation and outside assessment
According to media reports, Hertha’s unbeaten start has become a record-oriented storyline, and the 3:0 victory over Kaiserslautern reinforced that status. The club is pursuing league records while protecting a nine-point lead over Wolfsburg. That creates an incentive to control the match at home rather than trade open attacks.
According to media reports, Wolfsburg’s 2:0 win over Osnabruck was presented as a confident response before this direct meeting. The visitors are also described as one of the sides competing for promotion. Their recent scoring consistency gives them a route into the game, but the away goal balance and defensive numbers leave less margin for an aggressive approach.
Our Prediction
Hertha BSC and VfL Wolfsburg meet at Olympiastadion Berlin with the leaders protecting a nine-point advantage over third-placed Wolfsburg. Our pick is Both Teams To Score - Yes 1.32. Hertha have scored 23 goals in 10 league matches, while Wolfsburg have produced 25, giving both attacks a high and consistent output.
The matchup also points to chances at both ends. Wolfsburg have conceded 14 times in the league, including 8 goals across five away fixtures, while Hertha’s home record contains 9 goals scored and 3 conceded in four matches. Both teams scored in six of their first 10 league games. Hertha have won their last three matches, but Wolfsburg scored in all five of their latest fixtures, including 12 goals overall. That attacking continuity makes a clean-sheet scenario less likely than an exchange of goals. The most likely score is 2:1 to Hertha BSC.
Conclusion
Both Teams To Score - Yes 1.32 is the recommended selection. The league totals, Wolfsburg’s away defensive record and the six-in-ten BTTS rate for each side support goals from both teams.
