Prediction

  • Leverkusen are enjoying a club record season with 64 points so far, while Wolfsburg have collected only 25, their worst ever tally to this point.
  • Winless in nine games, Wolfsburg are in the midst of their worst-ever run under boss Nico Kovac with just two wins in their last 18 games.
  • A historic 34 games unbeaten, Leverkusen have moved imperiously 10 points clear of nearest challengers Bayern and appear to be cruising to their first-ever league title.
  • Wolfsburg have dropped an agonising 17 points after taking the lead this season; only Gladbach with 23 have let more points slip from their grasp.
  • Leverkusen won the reverse fixture 2-1, but Wolfsburg are not to be underestimated and this will not be a walk in the park for Xabi Alonso's side, who also have Europa League football on Thursday.
