Wolfsburg is currently sixth in the league with 39 points and they are holding the last place to Europa League. The cap to Red Bull Leipzig is 12 points, but it could get bigger as Leipzig has a match on Sunday when this preview is written.

Bayer Leverkusen v Wolfsburg – Player news and who to watch

Leverkusen has a good situation when it comes to injuries. The hosts are missing Lars Bender (leg) and Kevin Volland (ankle) due to injuries. Volland has 9 goals this season, which is 2nd best in the team. Bender is also an important player to Leverkusen, but he has been out for a while already. Kai Havertz leads Leverkusen in goals, and he has 4 goals in two games after the break. The 20-year-old talent is definitely one player to keep eye on.

Wolfsburg is missing Yannick Gerhardt (broken nose), Josuha Guilavogui (knee), William (knee), Ignachio Camacho (ankle) and Mamoudou Karamoko (knee).

Bayer Leverkusen v Wolfsburg – Conclusion and what to bet

Leverkusen has been amazing this season and especially after the break. Leverkusen holds more ball than opponents and creates multiple quality chances during the game, which can be seen in scoring 7 goals in 2 games. In goal Finnish star Lukas Hradecky has been stopping opponent’s chances with a really good percentage. At the moment Leverkusen is a great combination of dangerous attacking and rock-solid defending. This team is really hard to beat.

Wolfsburg is scoring goals, but their problem is lack of defending. They give away goals too much and it has been unforgivable against top tier teams, which Leverkusen also is.

Leverkusen is in such a good form that you can’t be betting against them in this one. Odds for the goals are once again a bit too low to bet, so I will pick Leverkusen to win with a one-goal handicap. Leverkusen has won their last 5 games by two goals or more and 6 out of their last 7. With the deathly attack, Leverkusen is providing and lack of defending Wolfsburg has, I believe Leverkusen will win this one with a handicap too. If Leverkusen wins by only one goal, you get your bet size back.
