Bayer Leverkusen is fighting directly for a place of access to the Champions League and will not give up.

In the last match, they tied in a home match against RB Leipzig, by (0‑0).

In their last 10 away games for the championship, Wolfsburg have recorded 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats, earning 14 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 25 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 14 times and only got 1 comeback.
Wolfsburg are dreaming of a place in the next Europa League and for that to be a reality they must have more regularity. Points must be added at home and also far from their domains and this applies to the current round. The game will surely be difficult and a loss can happen. However, this is precisely what you want to avoid. He will go to the field with a cautious posture, but will look for spaces to surprise the local team. In this match, Yannick Gerhardt, William and Ignacio Camacho will be left out, because they are in the medical department.
