Wolfsburg v Bayer Leverkusen

Wolfsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Preview

Seventh placed Wolfsburg will play host to the current Bundesliga league leaders, Bayer Leverkusen, at their VOLKSWAGEN ARENA with the hosts looking to produce a much better showing and greater consistency in the German top flight but they are likely to have their work cut out as they'll be facing an in-form visiting side.

Wolfsburg slipped to a third away defeat on the trot just before the international break when they were handed a 3-1 loss to Stuttgart which followed previous defeats on their travels at the likes of Hoffenheim and Borussia Dortmund respectively, so the hosts will no doubt be keen to return to home surroundings for this upcoming clash on Saturday afternoon.

Saturday's hosts have also tasted success though this season as well, as the hosts have picked up four wins within their opening seven games of this new campaign by way of victories against Heidenheim FC Cologne, Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt, and three of these four wins to date have been achieved on home soil at their VOLKSWAGEN ARENA.

The bigger picture shows Wolfsburg have won five of the last six games in their own backyard and this will give Niko Kovac's side plenty of encouragement ahead of this encounter.

One team that don't need any lifting are Bayer Leverkusen as the visitors sit top of the Bundesliga table where they hold a one-point cushion over second placed Stuttgart and they will be in confident mood for this Saturday's trip to face Wolfsburg whom they are likely to fancy their chances against this weekend.

Six wins out of their opening seven games of this new German top flight table have helped lift Bayer Leverkusen into an early pole position in the division and this impressive winning start to this new season includes wins on their travels at Borussia M'gladbach and Mainz, winning both away trips by 3-0 margins respectively.

Bayer Leverkusen definitely seem to hold the edge here over their hosts as the bigger picture shows the visitors have been handed just two defeats out of their last 20 matches overall in the German top flight and having also registered 12 wins within this period, the visitors look a force to be reckoned with for this upcoming trip.

Wolfsburg v Bayer Leverkusen Verdict

Both Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen possess valid claims to take all three points here in this upcoming encounter at their VOLKSWAGEN ARENA but the more consistent outfit out of these two clubs is undoubtedly Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen also look to hold the edge in terms of scoring goals as well, as the visitors have scored two goals or more in each of their seven games played to date and their goalscoring prowess could well prove to be the difference between themselves and Wolfsburg on Saturday.

Therefore, our main bet will be Bayer Leverkusen win @ 1.75

Other side bets worth considering:

Bayer Leverkusen win & Under 3.5 goals @ 2.87

Correct score: Bayer Leverkusen @ 10.00
