On Sunday evening, Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen will look to continue their excellent form in the German top flight as they welcome Wolfsburg to the BayArena.
Bayer held by Qarabag last time outXabi Alonso’s team experienced a rare experience last time out, as they failed to beat Qarabag in the Europa League, with the Azerbaijani team holding them to a 2-2 draw.
The draw ended a run of six straight wins in all competitions for Die Werkself.
However, Bayer has dominated their Bundesliga games of late. They have won nine of their last ten games and are still unbeaten in the German top-flight this season.
The stellar form has Bayer ten points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table, with reigning German champions Bayern Munich trailing badly behind the home team.
Leverkusen are unbeaten in their last 13 home games in the Bundesliga, having recorded ten wins and three draws while scoring at least two goals in 11 of those unbeaten matches.
Wolfsburg still looking to end their winless run in the BundesligaNiko Kovac’s team head to the league leaders on a nine-game winless streak in the Bundesliga. The problem for the Wolves of late has been too many draws, as they have drawn six of their nine winless games.
Wolfsburg's poor recent form in the German top flight has led them to slip into 13th place in the table, eight points above the Bundesliga’s bottom three.
The visitors have not been confident on their travels lately in the Bundesliga, winning just once in their previous 11 away games. Kovac’s team has also failed to win in the last four league games away from home.
What am I backing?Bayer Leverkusen had a rare blip on Thursday night. However, I believe that Xabi Alonso’s team will get back to winning ways in this clash.
