- Competition: Bundesliga
- Date: Saturday, 8th February, 2025
- Kickoff: 14:30 UK / 15:30 CET
- Venue: Volkswagen Arena (Wolfsburg)
Wolfsburg have constantly been in the middle of the league's table in the last three seasons. The last time they secured Europe was in the 2020/21 season, and they will try to change that this year. They are in 10th place with 29 points from 20 matches but only two points away from reaching the top six. Even the Champions League isn't far - just four points away. However, considering they won just two points in the last three games and will now have two challenging games vs Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart, they could easily drop further down.
Bayer Leverkusen had a fantastic season behind them, winning the league and the Cup title and reaching the finals in the Europa League. This season, they are doing well in all competitions as they reached the DFB Pokal Semi-Finals and the 1/8 Finals in the Champions League. In the Bundesliga, they are in second place, six points away from Bayer Munich. After the Wolfsburg game, they will welcome Bayern Munich and will have the opportunity to close the gap.
Wolfsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen pick: Over 2.5 goals
Wolfsburg have constantly played high-scoring games lately, as they were over 2.5 goals in three of the last four matches, with both teams scoring every time. They were solid offensively and managed to score two goals in their 3:2 loss against Bayern, and it is fair to expect they will score at least once against Leverkusen as well.
Bayern Leverkusen are in a good spot right now, winning 12 of 15 last games in all competitions. They have been awesome offensively during that period, scoring 42 goals - 2.8 per game! We strongly believe they will do well offensively, but on the other hand, they had problems defensively away from home. In the last three games, they allowed two or more goals every time, which is a very good sign for our bet.
In the first h2h game this season, we saw a super exciting 4:3 win for Bayer Leverkusen. Considering the previous h2h game and all the above, we expect a high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.

Wolfsburg team news
Winger Patrick Wimmer served his one-game suspension in the previous match against Eintracht Frankfurt and will be available. He has been in really good form lately, scoring a goal and assisting two in the last three games. So, his return should have a good impact on the team.
Bartosz Bialek, Niklas Klinger, Lovro Majer, Kevin Paredes, and Rogerio, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined. Moreover, according to German media, goalkeeper Kamil Grabara also suffered an injury and will most likely be out for around two or three weeks.

Bayer Leverkusen team news
Alejandro Grimaldo received a red card in the previous Bundesliga game and will serve his one-game suspension. However, it seems he sustained an injury in the previous Cup game and wouldn't play anyway.
The team should have no new injuries, but the ones who missed the previous games with injuries should remain sidelined - Amine Adli, Jeanuel Belocian, and Martin Terrier.
