May 9, 2025   VfL Wolfsburg - TSG Hoffenheim   Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg, Germany On Friday, May 9, 2025, VfL Wolfsburg will face TSG Hoffenheim in the 33rd round of the German Bundesliga.

This will be the third meeting between the two teams this season.

The last time Chelsea fell five times in a row at opponents' stadiums was between October and December 2000. The Stamford Bridge team's record away from home in all competitions is alarming. From their last ten away matches, Coach Endy's men have managed to win only twice - in Kazakhstan (3-1 against Astana) and in Denmark (2-1 against FC Copenhagen). They haven't won away on English soil for eight consecu...
