On Sunday, 26 April, VfL Wolfsburg travel to Energie Cottbus, targeting their 11th successive Bundesliga victory. It would be the longest winning streak ever in the Bundesliga within a single season.

Wolfsburg would break Borussia Mönchengladbach’s record for most wins in a row within one season, set in 1986/1987.

The last time Wolfsburg failed to win a Bundesliga match was on 31 January 2009 when they drew 1-1 against 1. FC Köln.

The Bundesliga record for most consecutive wins through season boundary is 15 and was set by Bayern München in the 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 seasons (March-September 2005).
