Wolfsburg – Bayer Leverkusen : Preview & Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen, third in the standings with 45 points and fresh from their Europa League exit, dive back into the league to hold on to third place. The Aspirins are on 45 points, one ahead of Leipzig and Firburg, both of whom have bounced back after losing to Cologne and drawing against Bayern Munich. Wolfsburg are 12th on 31 points, eight points above the relegation zone, but have won just once in their last four matches.
Four of Wolfsburg’s last six matches have ended with an Over 2.5 result.
Leverkusen have the third best attack in the competition with 64 goals scored in 26 games, but they also have one of the worst defences with 41 goals conceded.
Of Bayer’s 26 Bundesliga games, 19 have ended in Over 2.5, with Wolfsburg scoring 14.
Six of Bayer’s last seven away games have ended with Over 2.5.
Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen will be a match with plenty of goals. Our prediction is for the Over 2.5 and we elaborate it by looking especially at the home of the guests. The aspirins, who will have several defections such as Wirtz and Schick, have an atomic attack, despite the absences, and they create a lot. Compared to the Europa League match against Atalanta, they should return to using centre-forward Alario with three strikers behind him, and this will certainly be a problem for Wolfsburg who have already conceded 40 goals in the league. The problem for Bayer, however, is that their defence is also often very exposed and prone to mistakes. 41 goals is a lot, and the hosts will certainly take advantage of that to score at least one goal, especially as they have come from three home games in which they have put the ball in the net on six occasions.
