⁠Bayer Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Bundesliga 2024-25

Die Wolfe face another tough outing against the reigning champions.

The reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen have started the new season in decent form in the league. They started the new season with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach, a loss against RB Leipzig, and a win over Hoffenheim.

Xabi Alonso’s side also managed to win their first silverware of the season after defeating Stuttgart in the Super Cup. They have also started their tenure in the UEFA Champions League with a dominating 4-0 win over Dutch side Feyenoord with teenage sensation Florian Wirtz pulling the strings from midfield. 

Wolfsburg endured a tough campaign last term and started the new season similarly. Die Wolfe are currently languishing in 12th position after three matches, winning one against Holstein Kiel and losing one each against Bayern Munich and Frankfurt. However, they have done well in the cup competitions, securing victory over TuS Koblenz in the first round of the DFB Pokal.

Players to Watch

Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen)

Last season was a successful one for the Bundesliga Player of the Season as he scooped this award after registering 18 goals and 19 assists for the team. Florian Wirtz has emerged as a world-class talent who has transformed this Leverkusen team with his magical play and brilliance with the ball. 

This season has been a similar outcome having already scored three goals and adding another assist to his tally. He seems to be enjoying his football under Xabi Alonso who has made him the backbone of his side. 

Jonas Wind (⁠Wolfsburg)

The Lethal Danish forward was one of the shining lights for Wolfsburg last term after finishing the season with 12 goals and eight assists. However, things have not gone accordingly this season as he has yet to hit the ground running for them. 

Nevertheless, Wind has all the tools to bounce back to his brilliant best. Despite failing to score a goal, Wind remains Wolfsburg’s most important player as his pace and ability to convert the chances can be a huge asset in this kind of match.
