Wolfsburg vs. Bayer Leverkusen: Bundesliga Match Preview, Odds & Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen will visit Wolfsburg on Saturday at Volkswagen Arena, looking to stay in the Bundesliga championship hunt.

On February 2, the Wolves and Eintracht Frankfurt played to a 1-1 draw. On the other hand, the visiting champions are in second place with 45 points, six points behind Bayern Munich, despite Sunday's 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim.

Previous Matches ans Head to head

Eintracht Frankfurt equaled Wolfsburg's 1.17 xG and equaled their three significant opportunities; nevertheless, Wolfsburg was heavily pressured in the second half as they faced all three significant chances after the break.

The home team may be in tenth position, but they trail fourth-place RB Leipzig by only four points; Leipzig holds the last Champions League qualifying slot.

In their previous four games, Ralph Hasenhuttl's squad has scored ten goals and allowed seven, making them one of the most exciting teams in the division.

The Wolves won seven of their previous nine games but lost one in their last three and drew two.

With five wins, two draws, and one loss in their previous eight games at Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg's home record has been outstanding recently.

In contrast to Hoffenheim, Leverkusen failed to produce many shots on goal. However, once Alejandro Grimaldo was sent off in the 61st minute, with the champions up 3-0, Die Kraichgauer had most of their opportunities.

Even though they were down 2-0 against FC Koln in the 54th minute, Xabi Alonso's squad battled back to win 3-2 on Wednesday and go to the DFB-Pokal semi-finals.

On September 22, Leverkusen won 4-3 over Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga thanks to a goal scored by Victor Boniface in the 93rd minute.

Liverpool last held Die Schwarzroten scoreless in a Champions League match on November 5, a span of seventeen games.

The squad managed by Alonso has won four of their last five games overall and fourteen of their previous sixteen matches in all competitions.

The visiting team has an impressive road record, having gone undefeated in 26 league matches away from home and winning 19 matches.

Wolfsburg x Bayer Leverkusen Team News

Considering Hasenhuttl will be without defender Rogerio, goalkeepers Kamil Grabara and Niklas Klinger, and a few others, their roster is pretty thin.

In goal, Kilian Fischer, Denis Vavro, Konstantinos Koulierakis, and Joakim Maehle will likely form the starting lineup, with Marius Muller serving as the backup.

Given the absence of Bartosz Bialek, Kevin Paredes, and Lovro Majer, three key attackers, Mohamed El Amine Amoura, Jonas Wind, and Tiago Tomas, may be selected to play in a front three.

Leverkusen might start Aleix Garcia on the left side of the back five instead of Grimaldo, although defender Jeanuel Belocian won't be available until September.

Piero Hincapie, Jonathan Tah, and Edmond Tapsoba will likely be central defenders behind Robert Andrich and Granit Xhaka.

Due to Martin Terrier's season-ending injury, Florian Wirtz and Nathan Tella will likely start behind striker Boniface.

Bayer Leverkusen to win @ 1.85 on SKY247.ng

Leverkusen should feel self-assured in their ability to earn another three points with a nearly full roster, and their incredible form is hard to ignore.

Despite Wolfsburg's strong home record, the champions have been successful away from home for a while and will likely have an offensive arsenal that their hosts won't manage.
