Wolfsburg's mourning: 80 years of celebration, but the winless streak continues!

VfL Wolfsburg, which recently celebrated its 80th birthday with an impressive fan march and rousing choreography, is once again facing bitter disappointment. On September 16, 2025, in a dramatic game against 1. FC Köln, captain Maximilian Arnold managed to make it 3-2 with a free kick in the ninth minute of injury time, but it wasn't enough. Jakub Kaminski, who is currently on loan to Cologne from Wolfsburg, scored in the 90th + 14th minute to make it 3-3 and seal the draw for the hosts. This worrying situation highlights the current plight of Wolves, who have been waiting for a home win since January 14th - the last one was celebrated with a clear 5-1 against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

After the game, Arnold was frustrated about the ongoing winless streak in his own stadium. “We did something wrong,” he expressed concern, while coach Paul Simonis spoke of an emotional roller coaster ride in the second half. The coach emphasized that it was time to show more maturity in the final stages and better organize the defense at the last moment in order to avoid such setbacks in the future. Wolfsburg have already lost similar points in kicks this season, deepening the worry lines within the team.

Another draw against Stuttgart

The course of the game was also marked by some controversial decisions. Stuttgart's Atakan Karazor was incorrectly given a yellow-red card, while Wolfsburg's Amoura's red card was overturned following a VAR review. Such decisions understandably contribute to dissatisfaction, as Arnold has already expressed. “We have to work on our game,” emphasized the captain, who called on the team to rethink.

Statistics and challenges

Recently, VfL Wolfsburg has had to struggle with numerous unfortunate situations this season, which are reflected in the statistics. Looking at the team statistics it becomes clear that the club is not only losing points, but also the necessary self-confidence. In the coming games it will be crucial to regain this trust and stabilize the defensive performance in order to achieve our first home wins in a long time.

Fans and those responsible are called upon more than ever to strive for success together. The next game is just around the corner and a good hand will be needed to correct course and get the Wolves back on the road to success.
