Leverkusen Form & record check
In the current season, Leverkusen had to cope with their first setback on the second matchday. Despite a two-goal lead, the team from North Rhine-Westphalia lost 2-3 at home to RB Leipzig and thus left empty-handed. Last weekend, however, Leverkusen showed a strong reaction and celebrated a clear 4-1 away win against Hoffenheim. Victor Boniface, who scored two goals, was particularly noteworthy.
Earlier this week, Leverkusen played their first Champions League game and dominated Feyenoord Rotterdam with an impressive 4-0 victory. This performance once again sends a clear signal to the Bundesliga: last season’s successes were no fluke.
In the first three rounds of the current Bundesliga season, the reigning champions showed significant weaknesses in defense. Coach Alonso’s team has already conceded six goals. At the same time, the offense is one of the strongest in the Bundesliga, with nine goals scored. In all three games so far this season, at least four goals were scored in each game. Last season, Leverkusen also showed a preference for high-scoring encounters, playing 25 of 34 games with three or more goals. Leverkusen also scored four goals in the opening game of the Champions League.

Wolfsburg Form & Record Check
The start of the season was anything but smooth. Only one of the three matchdays ended in victory. The team only managed to get three points with the 2-0 win against newly promoted team Holstein Kiel. However, the Wolves were narrowly beaten in both home games, with a 3-2 defeat against Bayern Munich and a 2-1 loss against Eintracht Frankfurt. In both games, Wolfsburg were by no means without chances, but they lacked the necessary efficiency in front of goal.
In the clash against Frankfurt, Wolfsburg had significantly more possession (66%) and 17 shots on goal. However, only four of them went directly on target. The team also led in offensive actions, with 122 attacks, 67 of which were categorized as dangerous, but they lacked the necessary efficiency in front of goal. Despite the setbacks, Wolfsburg remained dangerous in front of goal in every league game, scoring five times but conceding the same number of goals.
Injuries
Wolfsburg continue to struggle with ongoing injury problems, which further exacerbates an already difficult situation. Injuries include Lukas Nmecha (thigh injury), Lovro Majer (ankle injury), Rogério (knee surgery), Bartosz Bialek (knee injury) and Kevin Paredes (foot injury). These injuries significantly impact the team’s options and complicate the line-up and tactics in upcoming matches.

Wolfsburg, on the other hand, will play in a 4-1-4-1 system that should help them to stay compact in midfield. This formation allows them to control the center and stabilize the defense while also looking for chances to counterattack.
