Wolfsburg vs. Bayer Leverkusen: Match Prediction
The hosts are going through tough times, losing match after match, and have decided to part ways with head coach Paul Simonius. Turning the situation around against Bayer seems a daunting task, especially since the club has not shown outstanding results at home. In their last nine home Bundesliga matches, Wolfsburg has not won, suffering six defeats in this period. Additionally, in four matches during this span, the team conceded three goals.
Bayer only ended their 37-match unbeaten away streak in the league in their last away game against Bayern Munich, during which time Leverkusen secured 25 victories. Furthermore, the club has been stronger in six of the last nine head-to-head meetings at Wolfsburg's ground in the Bundesliga, conceding only three goals in this period.
I anticipate another quality away performance from Leverkusen, which will help them achieve the maximum result. My prediction: Bayer to win
