The Leverkusen vs. Wolfsburg prediction from the bookmakers speaks for itself: The Werkself are the favorites going into this game and Leverkusen will normally come out on top. But Wolfsburg will do everything they can to prevent that from happening

Leverkusen – Statistics & current form
Bayer Leverkusen played at Qarabag in Azerbaijan in the Europa League during the week. It was a long journey and a tough game that ended in a draw. As a result, Leverkusen remain unbeaten for the entire season, which is an absolute novelty. The match will certainly have some consequences for the league game, as coach Xabi Alonso has already said: “The dynamic is not new to us, we’ve already had the experience. We have enough fresh players for Sunday. We need the whole squad, that’s what I’ve always said.”
The broad squad is a factor that Leverkusen also want to and will exploit against Wolfsburg. The Werkself are currently ten points clear of second place and are playing the second-best season ever for a Bundesliga team. Everything points to the championship title if Leverkusen remain consistent and stable. At the moment, however, there is nothing to suggest otherwise; last week, for example, they won the derby against 1. FC Köln.
In any case, Leverkusen have the best prerequisites ahead of this match. Above all, the flexibility in attack is impressive, there is not one clear goal scorer, but Leverkusen can create danger from many actions and situations. That’s very important for the rest of the games this season, in which they may have to rotate more than they have so far
Leverkusen clearly in the role of favorites
Bayer Leverkusen have won six of their last seven competitive matches. However, there have also been one or two more mixed performances. It speaks all the more for the qualities of the Werkself that they have also won these games. 61 goals from 24 games is a very good record, and the back three remains stable, conceding just 16 goals.
With a points average of 2.67 both home and away, Leverkusen know how to impress. The Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg odds therefore clearly show that the hosts are the clear favorites and will most likely win this match.
Virtually everything speaks in favor of the Werkself, who are likely to set the tone offensively against Wolfsburg. The home side have such a clear advantage that our prediction ahead of the Leverkusen v Wolfsburg game is that more than 2.5 goals will be scored
Predicted Leverkusen line-up:
Wolfsburg – Statistics & current form
Wolfsburg clearly travel to Leverkusen as underdogs. Even in a normal season for the Wolves, that would have been the case, but this time it is not a normal season. On the contrary, the Wolves are playing their weakest season in terms of points since promotion to the Bundesliga. As a result, Niko Kovac is under pressure, as the squad would at least have to produce more than what Wolfsburg are currently offering.
For the first time in their Bundesliga history, Wolfsburg are without a win in the first seven games of the second half of the season. The pressure is mounting, Kovac must deliver, a clear defeat in Leverkusen, which is not ruled out by the bookmakers, could mean his dismissal. Because all it takes is one series from one of the relegation candidates and Wolfsburg are suddenly right back in the middle of the mess.
However, they are still in 13th place and eight points clear of the relegation places. But that could change quickly, especially if Mainz can turn the positive impressions of recent weeks into points. Wolfsburg have now gone nine competitive games in a row without a win, the last of which came away at Darmstadt
Wolfsburg clearly behind in the odds
The problems are manifold. Offensively, there is no reliable goalscorer apart from Wind (nine goals). In addition, too few chances are created and the rate could also be better from resting balls. The Wolves have conceded a total of 39 goals and have only won twice away from home in the entire season – out of a total of just six.
So there is a lot wrong. No wonder that the Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg odds show a clear favorite role for the home side and that the bookmakers are also considering Wolfsburg losing quite clearly. Much will depend on the attention in defense.
In any case, our value tip ahead of the match between Leverkusen and Wolfsburg is that the home side will win and be in the lead at the break
