Wolfsburg, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Wolfsburg players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Borussia Mönchengladbach. During that encounter they had 56% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 13 shots on goal.
Niko Kovač will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at The Volkswagen Arena. Niko Kovač will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
There will be mixed feelings from Die Wölfe, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormBayer Leverkusen will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 home win against Eintracht Frankfurt. They came away from that fixture with a 43% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 9 on target, in comparison to Eintracht Frankfurt, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Their boss Xabi Alonso has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 16 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 6 goals conceded across those matches. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 6 games.
On an individual basis, Sardar Azmoun will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Bayer Leverkusen's last 6 league games.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
It's been a long time since Wolfsburg at home has managed to find the back of the Die Werkself net, having failed to score against them in their last 4 encounters at The Volkswagen Arena. Playing away from home, Leverkusen have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Wolfsburg.
In the league, Leverkusen has had a solid run on the road against Wolfsburg, being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings at The Volkswagen Arena.
Maximilian Arnold will be feeling confident of netting goals for Wolfsburg in this one against Leverkusen with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
With only Bartol Franjić (Muscle) and Lukas Nmecha (Tendon) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Niko Kovač will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Xabi Alonso has a number of injury concerns in his Leverkusen squad to contend with: Nadiem Amiri (Muscle), Charles Aránguiz (Calf), Kerem Demirbay (Knee), Piero Hincapié (Hip), Adam Hložek (Illness), Andrey Lunyov (Back) and Patrik Schick (Groin)
