Even though the difference in individual quality is not so great, Wolfsburg and Bayer are fighting for completely different goals. The “Wolves” are again in great trouble and they are fearing for their status in Bundesliga, and the situation is even worse after a new series of four rounds in which they did not win. Bayer oscillates and they have lost in the previous three rounds twice, but it is interesting that both defeats took place at home. In the first part of the season, they played an interesting match in which Bayer had the lead twice and finished with 2-2.

VfL Wolfsburg

Only one win in the second part of the season could not bring Wolfsburg anything better than the situation that they fear for survival. They had two duels against strong rivals and were even good in these games, so they brought a point from Dortmund, and were very close to a draw against Bayern. But they lost in Bremen and against Eintracht at home, where they played weaker than as guests.

After they lost to Bayern, they won an important point in the last round against Mainz, because that is exactly the team that is below them on the table with one point less and in the position that leads to the playoffs for survival. They took the lead earlier in that match, but later Casteels was saving them from defeat. It was also a debut for their new coach Labbadia, who replaced Schmidt and started well, with some changes in composition, and he gave the chance to Brekk who responded with one goal scored. Now Arnold returns to the midfield after suspension.

Probable lineups VfL Wolfsburg: Casteels – Verhaegh, Bruma, Knoche, William – Guilavogui, Arnold – Brekalo, Didavi, Malli – Origi

Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer's problems in the second half of the season are tied exclusively to their home field and this is really unusual for this team, which was not defeated in the first part of the season in front of their fans, and it happened to them three times in the second part. They have a justification for the first defeat against Bayern, but the previous two should not have happened, especially since they failed to score any goals in those matches with Hertha and Schalke.

They were defeated as guests in mid-September in Berlin, and they two rounds ago also celebrated in Hamburg. Kohr’s suspension has spiled everything against Schalke and it is clear they could not do much with one less player on the field. Coach Herrlich has tried to perform with the same team as HSV, but now he will surely experience changes. Kohr will not be in the team, so Baumgartlinger jumps in midfield, L.Bender returns to the right back, and the suspended Retsosa will be replaced by Tah. We now expect Alario in the attack instead of Havertz.

Probable lineups Bayer Leverkusen: Leno – L.Bender, Tah, S.Bender, Wendell – Baumgartlinger, Aranguiz – Brandt, Volland, Bailey – Alario

Verdict:

Wolfsburg is under great pressure and they simply have to win in this match, regardless of the strength of their opponent. Bayer has not lost away for a long time and now they have to make up for their lost points at home, so they will also play to win.
