The guests for the up-coming Bundesliga match, Wolfsburg, are the worst away team in the league with four points. Twenty-one of the 30 goals conceded have come on the road. When asked how his team should play, the leftback Marcel Schäfer told the official Wolfsburg homepage dryly: "Preferably not how we have played thus far on the road." In order to finally stop the negative run, the 13th-placed team in the league has been holding a mini-training camp in Barsinghausen since Wednesday night.

Clemens Fritz and Wolfsburg attacker Mario Mandzukic face off last April.

"It is the last away match of the year. We want to pull together one more time. The measure was taken to get together and complete the final matches more successfully than it has gone recently," said Felix Magath about the training camp. The Wolves have collected just five points from the last five matches. Not even the 4-1 derby victory over Hannover gave Wolfsburg a push. That was followed by a 2-0 loss in Augsburg and a 2-2 draw at home against Mainz. "I can't explain it," said Hasan Salihamidzic.

Despite the clear loss in Munich, the mood is much better along the Weser. And head coach Thomas Schaaf was quick to express his wishes until Christmas. "We want to spend the holidays with as many points as possible and start the new year with a good starting position," said the coach. But Schaaf warned his team against the opponents. "They have a good team which can play very well. We have to remain dominant like how we played against Stuttgart," said Schaaf. Manager Klaus Allofs spoke of focusing on the team's strength at home, saying: "We wanted to turn Weser Stadium kind of into a fortress. And that has happened more or less." The Green-Whites have won six games in seven matches at home - the same number of victories over the entire 2010-11 season. "But we don't have any guarantee that it will keep going," said Schaaf. Definitely not without giving all they have.
