Team News

Wolfsburg
Leverkusen
  • Kilian Fischer is nearing a return from a knee injury, while Felix Lange has an ankle knock. Lukas Nmecha has undergone surgery on his knee and will return only next year. Rogerio has a calf problem, while keeper Koen Casteels is struggling with a stomach muscle injury.
  • Ayman Aourir has a knee injury, while Patrik Schick is nearing a return to the squad after undergoing surgery after problems with his adductors. Arthur will be out for several weeks after suffering a thigh injury while on international duty with the Brazil Olympic team.

Prediction

  • Table toppers Leverkusen have scored at least twice in all their seven games in an impressive start to the season under Xabi Alonso.
  • Wolfsburg have won all three games at home this season under former Bayern coach Nico Kovac and are no mugs.
  • Wolfsburg have not drawn in 13 Bundesliga games since a goalless stalemate at Leverkusen last season, also failing to score at home to Leverkusen in five games, since March 2018.
  • Both meetings last season ended in a draw (0-0, 2-2) and that could be the best option again here.
