VfL Wolfsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen
Game day number 27 in the Bundesliga is on the schedule and fans can look forward to the match between Wolfsburg vs Leverkusen, among others, to conclude this round. Both teams went out of the last matchday with a defeat and thus both the Wolves, as well as the Leverkusen are so a little under pressure. On paper, we see the Werkself slightly in advantage, who in our opinion may make the greater hopes of a victory, you can find out in our Wolfsburg – Leverkusen tip.
If we take a closer look at the table before this match, we can see that the Wolves can be anything but satisfied with the performance they have shown so far. The Lower Saxons are currently in 12th place with 31 points and that simply must not be the claim of the Wolves. The upcoming opponent from Leverkusen, on the other hand, ranks much higher. Despite the 0:1 defeat on the last matchday against Cologne, Bayer is still in third place. The lead over RB Leipzig, however, is only one point.

Wolfsburg form & balance check
It doesn’t matter at all whether Wolfsburg slip up another place or two in the table or have to look down, nobody can really be satisfied with this season at the so ambitious Niedersachsen. The move for Mark van Bommel turned out to be a mistake in retrospect, and the future of coach Florian Kohfeldt is far from set in stone. The early exit in the group stage of the Champions League in a perfectly feasible group and then the performance in the Bundesliga, it does not really run smoothly. The last few weeks have again been far too inconsistent. From the past five games, there have been two wins, two defeats and a draw.
Overall team is under observation
Games like last weekend’s 3-2 loss to Sport-Club might not have been lost by the Wolves last season? Why? Because they simply had the momentum on their side then. This season, things have gone a bit awry, and especially in attack, things are far from going as they should. With 29 goals scored, VfL is among the weakest third in the entire Bundesliga. With players like Kruse, Nmecha & Co. this is actually inexplicable. We can be curious whether our own offense will disappoint again against Leverkusen.
Wolfsburg facts & analysis
– Last game lost with 2:3
– Currently only in 13th place
– Only 29 goals scored
Leverkusen form & balance check
At the moment, things are really going anything but smoothly for the Werkself from Leverkusen. Bayer has recently suffered three defeats in a row. However, fans don’t have to seriously worry that qualification for the top flight is somehow in jeopardy at the moment. Nevertheless, Leverkusen should see to it that they finally get another win. The big problem is the injuries to key players. First Patrik Schick got injured and then Florian Wirtz on the last matchday.
Who replaces the superstars?
Florian Wirtz and Patrik Schick have a combined total of 27 goals and ten assists. Any team in the world would have a hard time replacing those numbers. How heavy the loss, the two weighs, we could see in the last game against Bergamo. Against the Lombards Bayer lost in the end with 0:1 and a lot of chances left the Leverkusen players unused. Therefore, the elimination was also in order in the end. In the attack, it will probably be Azmoun until the return of Schick. Paulinho must act in the center.
Leverkusen facts & analysis
– 3 mandatory defeats in a row.
– 2 wins from the last 5 league games
– Currently in 3rd place
Predicted lineup – last update on March 18, 2022
VfL Wolfsburg will probably play in a 3-4-2-1 in the upcoming match. In attack, newcomer Wind could play again. Kruse should have all the freedom on the ten again. Schlager and Arnold will close down the center. The upcoming opponent from Leverkusen wants to succeed with a classic 4-2-3-1. Azmoun should again replace the injured Schick.
