Bayer Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg Prediction 22 Sep 2024

⚽ Bundesliga - Round 4 Preview

📅 22 Sep 2024

⏰ 14:30 GMT +1

🏟 BayArena (Leverkusen)

Bayer Leverkusen have been in red-hot form, scoring nine goals in their first three Bundesliga matches and adding four more in a dominant 4-0 win against Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League. Xabi Alonso’s side have netted in 18 consecutive league games, and they’ve scored two or more goals in five of their six competitive matches this season. However, their only defeat came at the BayArena against RB Leipzig in a 3-2 loss. Leverkusen will be keen to avoid a repeat, as no defending Bundesliga champion has ever failed to win both of their first two home games.

Wolfsburg have struggled against defending champions, with their last such win dating back to January 2015, and they haven’t won away to a reigning Bundesliga champion since December 2012. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s team has had a slow start, losing two of their first three matches for the first time in 11 years. Under Hasenhüttl, Wolfsburg have been inconsistent, winning five of his 11 league games but losing six, with heavy defeats coming when they’ve conceded first. They’ll need to be at their best to challenge Leverkusen in this tough fixture.

Leverkusen’s scoring form is undeniable, and with their impressive home record, they will be confident heading into this match. Wolfsburg’s inconsistency, especially away from home and against top sides, will likely give Leverkusen the upper hand. Expect Leverkusen to dominate possession and create chances early, while Wolfsburg may struggle to handle their attacking firepower.
