League leaders Beyer Leverkusen are in action on Sunday at BayArena when they welcome VfL Wolfsburg for a one-on-one Bundesliga clash, with kickoff slated for 18:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Leverkusen Looking to Keep Their Fine Form as Run-in Approaches
Xabi Alonso will look to get his Leverkusen charges in the right frame of mind in the run-in as they bid to price the title away from Bayern Munich.
They have been in flying form this season. On top of winning the last five consecutive matches, they have been unbeaten this season, winning 20 times and drawing four times.
Wolfsburg at home is the kind of match they have repeatedly won this season; Alonso will hope that his side are ready for the challenge, even as pressure is ramped up in the run-in.
Wolfsburg Looking to Return to Winning Ways After Eight Winless Matches in the Bundesliga
An eight-match winless run has seen Wolfsburg drop to 13th on the table, with 25 points after 24 rounds of Bundesliga fixtures. They are nine points from the drop zone, which gives them some safety heading into the run-in.
However, Wolfsburg will need to start winning matches if they are to improve their standing in the league and their bid for a midtable or top-half finish.
In their last five league outings, they have collected three points out of fifteen, drawing three times and losing twice.
Inconsistency has been a major challenge for Wolfsburg even as they make a trip to the most in-form team in the Bundesliga, who are also unbeaten so far this season, Leverkusen.
