Bayer Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg: prediction for the Bundesliga match

"Bayer is one of the most talked-about teams in Europe at the moment. Every top European club wants to have Xabi Alonso as their coach and Florian Wirtz in their midfield. This comes as no surprise after such a historic season, where Bayer went undefeated in the Bundesliga, became champions, and won the DFB-Pokal. However, Bayer’s unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga ended in the 2nd round of this season with a defeat against RB Leipzig. The 'Pharmacists' were leading 2-0, but ended up losing 2-3. Nonetheless, Bayer won their other two matches – 3-2 against Borussia Mönchengladbach and 4-1 away at Hoffenheim. Everything also went well for Bayer in the first round of the Champions League. Away from home, Xabi Alonso’s team crushed Feyenoord 4-0, scoring all the goals before halftime." Read also: Marseille vs Eintracht Frankfurt.

Wolfsburg is the dark horse of this Bundesliga season. On one hand, the 'Wolves' squad hardly seems capable of competing for more than a mid-table finish. But Wolfsburg is coached by Ralph Hasenhüttl, who is known for his ability to build strong and competitive teams. Last season, he managed to save the team from the relegation battle into which Niko Kovač had dragged them. At the start of the new season, Wolfsburg almost took points from Bayern in the first round. The 'Wolves' were leading 2-1 early in the second half but conceded twice. This was followed by a 2-0 victory over Holstein Kiel and a 1-2 defeat to Eintracht. Read also: Lazio vs Verona.
