Bayer Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg Betting Tips: Home / Over 2.5

Leverkusen’s record-breaking unbeaten streak nearly ended during the midweek European clash. However, they made a remarkable comeback from a two-goal shortage at halftime to secure a tough 2-2 draw in the final moments of the game. This occurred during their visit to Azerbaijani Qarabag in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 match.

Die Werkself managed to extend their unbeaten run to 35 matches in all competitions, thanks to a stunning second-half turnaround led by substitutes Florian Wirtz and Patrik Schick. They are now turning their attention to the domestic campaign as they aim to get closer to a historic title.

Xabi Alonso’s team is currently leading the Bundesliga with a significant ten-point advantage over Bayern Munich, the 11-time consecutive German champions. They are demonstrating an extraordinary determination to get rid of the notorious nickname “Neverkusen”. Simultaneously, they are striving for their first victorious home performance against Wolfsburg since as far back as 2016.

However, there may not be a better time for the league leaders to overcome their poor head-to-head home record, especially given that Die Wolfe are experiencing one of their worst league campaigns in recent history. They are currently trapped in a series of poor performances, with victory seeming unfamiliar to them in their last nine Bundesliga matches.

Admittedly, during this challenging period, Wolfsburg has been on the losing end only three times. However, one of those disappointing results happened in their last match when they suffered a dramatic 2-3 defeat at home to Stuttgart, a team hoping to break into the top four. This defeat added extra pressure on their Croatian tactician, Niko Kovac.

On the road, the Lower Saxony-based club has particularly struggled, as the hard-fought 1-0 victory against basement-dwellers Darmstadt stands as the sole instance they have come out on top in their last 12 away trips in any competition format. Despite BayArena bringing happy moments for Wolfsburg for nearly a decade, their recent  woeful performances suggest they’ll struggle to pick up anything from Sunday’s daunting visit, meaning a high-scoring victory could be expected from the relentless Leverkusen.
