Wolfsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts are ready to battle it out against Xabi Alonso’s men in the Bundesliga.

VfL Wolfsburg are all set to host Xabi Alonso’s Bayer 04 Leverkusen in Matchday 21 of the Bundesliga 2024-25 edition. Wolfsburg after their average performances in 20 league games till now are sitting in the 10th spot with eight wins in hand. Bayer Leverkusen on the other hand are in the second spot as they are having a decently good season.

Wolfsburg have been winless in their last three league games. The hosts will be there after securing a draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in their last league game. They almost lost the game but thanks to Frankfurt’s Tuta who scored own goal which helped them secure a draw at least. A win for the hosts over Bayer Leverkusen will take them to the sixth spot in the table.

Xabi Alonso’s men are coming in after securing a narrow win over FC Cologne in their last fixture. It was a DFB-Pokal match. Bayer Leverkusen even secured a win in their previous league contest which was against Hoffenheim. Xabi Alonso’s men are going to be a big challenge for the Wolfsburg who are not having that great of a season.

Amoura will be ready to give a proper fight to Xabi Alonso’s men.

Patrik Schick (Bayer Leverkusen)

The Czech Republic national football team forward plays a crucial role for Bayer Leverkusen. Patrik Schick has been able to score 14 goals in 17 league games for Bayern Munich and is in the race for the Bundesliga Golden Boot alongside Harry Kane.
