Leverkusen looking good for Europe
League position and recent results
With 46 points from 27 games, Bayer 04 Leverkusen sit 6th in the Bundesliga and have had a very solid campaign overall, but will be disappointed to have drawn their last three league games despite strong home form.
After holding Bayern Munich to a 1-1 draw at home and following that up with a 3-3 away draw at Heidenheim, Kasper Hjulmand’s side have shown that they can attack with the best in the division but need to be a bit more ruthless in the final third if they are to go up another level.
Home form and defence
Leverkusen have conceded just 12 goals in 13 home league games and their superior home record this season is due mostly to their structure and ability to defend with numbers, with Hjulmand’s team keeping things simple and getting plenty of bodies behind the ball to prevent the opposition from creating good chances.
Visitors' outlook
The visitors are no exception and Dieter Hecking’s men set up in a compact and defensive shape, as you’d expect from a survival team. The club legend was appointed in March 2026 and has made an instant impact, turning a leaky side into a much more compact one that can frustrate their opponents.
Hecking is yet to taste defeat
Wolfsburg’s last two games, a 1-1 away draw at Hoffenheim and a 0-1 home defeat to Werder Bremen, show that the Foxes are capable of holding out against the best teams in the Bundesliga but are still struggling to score goals.
17th-placed Wolfsburg have just 21 points from 27 Bundesliga games and are in real danger of dropping out of the top-flight, although they have taken one draw and one defeat in their two games under Hecking.
The main goal threat for the visitors is Mohamed Amoura, who has scored eight Bundesliga goals in 24 appearances this season, and they’ll need him to be at his best if they are to claim a point from this contest.
- Leverkusen boast strong home defence and discipline.
- Wolfsburg are struggling near the bottom and need points urgently.
- Mohamed Amoura is Wolfsburg’s key player for goals.
Goals expected in Leverkusen
Tactical battle
Over 2.5 goals looks like an excellent bet at 1.48 given that we should see plenty of goalmouth action on Saturday, as Hjulmand sets his men to play on the front foot and Hecking instructs his team to be reactive.
Leverkusen will use their wing-backs to get forward and create overloads in wide areas, while Wolfsburg will attempt to sit deep and frustrate their hosts. The main difference between these teams is their approach, and that could spell the difference in the outcome of this game.
Predictions
Both Teams to Score - Yes is a definite possibility here at 1.62, but our main selection is a home win at 1.39 as the hosts boast much the superior form, home-field advantage and superior attacking firepower. Wolfsburg will have some joy on the counterattack but are more than likely to be beaten.
