A key match in Bundesliga as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Bayer Leverkusen in 3rd position and Wolfsburg placed 6th, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Bayer Leverkusen form and stats
Bayer Leverkusen have played 13 Bundesliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-4-2 (wins-draws-losses). Ever since the Hertha BSC game Leverkusen has been unbeatable here at BayArena producing four straight wins.
Leverkusen enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Borussia M'gladbach's place. The match ended 3-1 with Kai Havertz (2) and Sven Bender scoring. In the game before, an away victory match versus Werder Bremen with a 4-1 scoreline.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Leverkusen matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, one draw and one defeat (from five games).
Leverkusen are traveling soon after this match as the Bundesliga match at Freiburg awaits in three days.
Leverkusen have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at BayArena with 25 goals in 13 league matches. Leverkusen have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Wolfsburg form and stats
The visitors are W6-D3-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Bundesliga.
The manager O. Glasner was unhappy after their last game, a Bundesliga match played at their home ground Volkswagen Arena. Wolfsburg suffered a 0-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund (placed 2nd). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Augsburg.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

After this away game Wolfsburg return home for a Bundesliga game against Eintracht Frankfurt. That game is only four sleeps after this.
