Wolfsburg will be looking to put an end to their troubling run of form this weekend when they travel to Bayer Leverkusen. The hosts will also be looking to get back to winning ways after going two without victory.
Bundesliga Preview
Mark van Bommel’s managerial run at Wolfsburg has recently come to an end, as the club have fallen down the standings in the Bundesliga very quickly. At one point, they were the only unbeaten team in the league and were top of the standings.
However, the last five games have made for miserable reading for Wolfsburg, as they haven’t won during this run, and have lost their last four. They have no conceded 16 goals this season, which is the worst record in the top half of the standings.
They have conceded 14 of these goals in their last four games, with two of those coming in their 2-0 defeat at home against Freiburg. Wolfsburg were slightly better in that game, as they managed four shots on target, but defensive mistakes made it hard for them to get back into the game.
Bayer Leverkusen are just about hanging onto their position in fourth in the Bundesliga. They haven’t won in two games, and are just a point ahead of Union Berlin in the standings. It has been a disappointing return to action for Leverkusen, as they had won their last three before the international break.
However, they have lost and drawn their last two. Bayer were held in their last game at the weekend by FC Köln. Patrik Schick and Karim Bellarabi did put Leverkusen into a commanding 2-0 lead, but the hosts struck back with two goals of their own in the final half an hour.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg Head to Head
Wolfsburg are unbeaten in their last three against Leverkusen, winning on two occasions. Wolfsburg have scored five goals in the last three meetings, while Leverkusen have found the net just once. Both victories recorded by Wolfsburg have come in away games against Leverkusen. Leverkusen’s last home win in this fixture came in April 2016, which means they are on a run of five without a home win against Wolfsburg.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg Prediction
Leverkusen’s home record is certainly very concerning coming into this game. Wolfsburg will be looking for the new manager bounce on Saturday, and we could easily see them taking the points given the record that they have.
