Wolfsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-02-07 14:30.
[p]Whilst Wolfsburg remain in the bottom half of the table, they’re still six points better off than they were at the same stage last season. That’s scant consolation for a side who enter this on the back of a frustrating three-game winless run in the Bundesliga (D2, L1), with the Wolves failing to see out victories despite leading in the last two of those matches. [/p]
[p]Playing at home may raise hopes in Wolfsburg’s quest for consistency as they’ve lost just one of their last six Bundesliga outings here (W3, D2). That form bookends a run of 20 home league games in which Wolfsburg have scored at least once, surely raising hopes ahead of the visit of reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen – a side who Wolfsburg have failed to score against in five of the last six home H2Hs (D2, L4). [/p]
[p]Arriving here with slightly less preparation time due to their midweek DFB-Pokal commitments, Leverkusen shouldn’t be too fazed given their incredible return of just one defeat in 54 league matches (W41, D12). The only defeat therein came against Leipzig back on matchday two, with their 18-game unbeaten run since representing the longest ongoing streak in the division (W12, D6). [/p]
[p]This game in particular could prove historical for Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso, who sits unbeaten in 26 consecutive Bundesliga away games (W19, D7), meaning he could equal the record of 27 set by Udo Lattek in 1992. That’s not to say this will be easy, as Die Werkself travel here on the back of just one clean sheet in their last nine away league games, though they did race into a 2-0 lead before half-time in their last two trips. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Mohamed Amoura jointly leads the way for Wolfsburg with eight Bundesliga goals this season, with five of his six scoring appearances seeing him net the team opener. Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong has scored against Wolfsburg in each of the previous two seasons, including the match opener in the corresponding fixture in their 2023/24 title winning campaign. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Wolfsburg (8) and Leverkusen (7) are the sides with the most goals scored from corners in Bundesliga action this season. [/p]
