Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg: Match Preview and Predictions
Leverkusen aims to maintain their momentum as they host Wolfsburg this Sunday. In this Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg prediction, we’ll explore whether the home side can capitalize on their form against a struggling Wolfsburg.
Leverkusen’s Strong Bounce Back
After a narrow 2-3 defeat at home against Leipzig in their second match, Leverkusen bounced back emphatically with a 4-1 victory over Hoffenheim in their latest Bundesliga outing. The defending Bundesliga champions have now won two of their first three matches, losing only once. They are keen to add more points to their tally and continue climbing the table.
Wolfsburg’s Disappointing Start
On the other hand, Wolfsburg has had a less impressive start to the season. They have won one and lost two of their opening three league games. Despite the inconsistent form, Wolfsburg’s attacking line has been productive. They have managed to score at least once in each of their past six matches across all competitions.
