Bayer Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg

Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to bounce back from a run of poor form when they take on an underperforming Wolfsburg at the BayArena this weekend.

A shocking DFB-Pokal elimination to lower-league side Karlhruher in midweek could disrupt Bayer a bit, as it pretty much coincided with Leverkusen’s dip in form in the Bundesliga. Indeed, ‘Die Werkself’ have gone from three consecutive league victories to back-to-back games without winning (D1, L1), both of which saw them concede 2+ goals and score all of their match goals before the 60th minute. Adding to this uncertainty surrounding the BayArena this season, the hosts have alternated between a victory (2) and a defeat (2) across their four Bundesliga home fixtures under current manager Gerardo Seoane. While both Leverkusen’s wins in that four-game sequence yielded a clean sheet, each defeat in that run saw them concede 4+ goals, including a 5-1 demolition at the hands of Bayern Munich in their most recent league outing here.

In the meantime, Wolfsburg’s dream start to the season has turned into a nightmare, with the visitors going from a five-game unbeaten Bundesliga start (W4, D1) to a four-match losing streak in Germany’s top-flight. To make things worse, ‘Die Wolfe’ failed to remain competitive across those four defeats, succumbing to a two-goal margin on each occasion. The Volkswagen Arena hierarchy severed ties with the now ex-boss Mark van Bommel and appointed Florian Kohfeldt earlier this week to prevent a further downfall. Kohfeldt’s Bundesliga debut for Wolfsburg comes as a perfect opposition, as ‘Die Wolfe’ have won each of their last three Bundesliga travels to Leverkusen by an aggregate score of 8-2, two victories as they had in their previous 21 top-flight H2Hs away from home (W1, D6, L14).
