The winter break came at a good time for Dortmund boss Nuri Sahin considering his side have only won one of their last five matches, drawing three and losing one in that period.

Sahin's side were utterly dominant in the first half against Wolfsburg, creating nearly three xG and scoring three times between the 25th and 30th minutes, and they managed to hold out in the second half despite being reduced to 10 men with half an hour to go.

Attacker Julian Brandt spoke in the aftermath of the victory about the team's need to mature quickly, saying: "It's not like everything is completely bad. It's just that we have to learn to grow up. It's still a development, but it has to arrive somewhere at some point."

Having scored 28 goals in the Bundesliga, Dortmund not only rank as the league's joint sixth-best offensive side but are also on track to score their fewest goals in the top flight since they netted 47 times and finished seventh in 2014-15.

The Black and Yellows' rearguard record is poor given they have conceded on 22 occasions – the eighth-best defensive return – and have only kept three clean sheets in 15 league outings.

Dortmund have lost one and drawn two of their last three home fixtures, though they did triumph in their prior 11 at Signal Iduna Park.

冬歇期对多特蒙德主帅努里·沙欣来说是一个好时机，因为他的球队在过去的五场比赛中只赢了一场，三平一负。

在对阵沃尔夫斯堡的比赛中，沙欣的球队在上半场占据绝对优势，在第25分钟到第30分钟之间创造了近3个进球，并打入3球。在下半场，尽管在比赛还剩半小时时，球队只剩下10人，但他们还是坚持了下来。

前锋朱利安·勃兰特在胜利后谈到球队需要迅速成熟，他说：“并不是所有的事情都是完全糟糕的。只是我们必须学会长大。这仍然是一个发展，但它必须在某个时候到达某个地方。”

多特蒙德在德甲打进28球，不仅在进攻方面排名联赛第六，而且还有望成为自2014-15赛季打进47球、排名第七以来在顶级联赛中进球最少的球队。

黑黄队的后卫记录很糟糕，因为他们有22次失球，在联赛中排名第八，并且在15场比赛中只保持了3次零封。

多特蒙德最近三场主场比赛一负两平，尽管他们在之前的11场比赛中在信号伊杜纳公园取得了胜利。
