Wolfsburg Form & Record Check
The Wolves are having a rather inconsistent season and just can’t manage to really bring consistency into their game. They have won two of their last five games, but they have also drawn twice and lost once. In the 1-1 away game against Frankfurt last weekend, they basically played well and want to build on this form against Leverkusen.
They are still in tenth place in the table and, with 29 points, are only two points behind a place that would be enough for the Europa League.
Offensively, it’s going well
VfL Wolfsburg are performing impressively offensively in the current Bundesliga season. After 20 games, the team has scored 43 goals, making it the fourth-best offense in the league. A key factor in this success is the Algerian newcomer Mohamed Amoura. The 24-year-old striker, who has been playing for the Wolves since the summer of 2024, has already scored eight goals and provided eight assists in the Bundesliga.
His speed and goal-scoring prowess make him a central figure in VfL’s attacking play. Particularly noteworthy is his performance against Bayern Munich, in which he scored twice. Thanks to Amoura’s contribution and the overall strength of the offensive line, VfL is able to pose a threat in attack for the full 90 minutes of every game.
Wolfsburg facts & analysis
- Tenth place in the table
- Without a win in three league games
- Last league game 1:1 against Frankfurt
Leverkusen Form & Bilanz Check
The Werkself is currently in the middle of the fight for the championship and is of course planning on taking three points against the Wolves. With a six-point gap to the top of the table so far, the reigning champions cannot afford any more mistakes.
They have won four of their last five league games and only drew once, against Leipzig. That draw was the first point-sharing in eight league games and Bayer has now gone 18 Bundesliga games unbeaten.
Away form
Bayer 04 Leverkusen have had an impressive away record in the current Bundesliga season. In nine away matches, the team has remained undefeated, recording five wins and four draws with a goal difference of 20:12. This streak continues the remarkable away-from-home strength from the calendar year 2024, when Leverkusen remained undefeated in all 17 away matches – a feat previously only achieved by FC Bayern Munich.
Under the leadership of coach Xabi Alonso, the team has now built up a streak of 24 Bundesliga away games without defeat. This consistency away from home underlines Leverkusen’s ambition to establish themselves in the top flight of the league and to compete for the championship.
Leverkusen facts & analysis
- Second place in the table
- Unbeaten in 18 Bundesliga games
- Last league game won 3-1 against Hoffenheim
Wolfsburg will probably start in a 4-1-3-2 formation, just like in the last league game against Frankfurt. However, coach Ralph Hasenhüttl will have to do without his first-choice goalkeeper Grabara. Müller will take his place between the posts. Otherwise, we do not expect any changes in personnel.
Leverkusen will start in their typical 3-4-2-1 formation. It is possible that Xabi Alonso will rotate properly due to the pressure. Hradecky should be in goal again, the two wing players Frimpong and Grimaldo, who is suspended anyway, will be replaced by Tella and Hincapié and in the center Xhaka and Palacios will get a break. Andrich and García will start for them. Boniface is likely to start in the center forward position instead of Schick.
