Bayer Leverkusen will be out to open a four-point gap in the German Bundesliga when they visit Wolfsburg on Saturday. The hosts come into this game placed seventh while Leverkusen tops the league standings. It is another tough encounter for Wolfsburg, right after their 3-1 loss to Stuttgart before the international break. With three defeats in their last five matches, it will be hard to imagine Wolfsburg can make home advantage count here. However, their best results have come at home this season. They have three wins in three league matches played at home. This stretches their home run to five wins in 10 league games. They’ve only lost once at home in their last 10 league matches. In this form at home, they will not be mistaken to feel confident about this game. They haven't beaten Bayer Leverkusen in the last three meetings though.

The only time this season that Bayer Leverkusen dropped points was in a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich. Even in that game, they showed great resilience, twice coming from behind to collect a point. In the other nine matches across all competitions, they won. Right before the international break, Leverkusen brushed Cologne aside in a 3-0 win. That was their fifth clean sheet in the 10 matches they’ve played this season. In attack they’ve been prolific as well, scoring at least twice in each of their opening 10 matches. Leverkusen have shown real intent to go head-to-head with Bayern Munich for the title this season. In that case, they would be looking at this as a game they must collect three points from. Leverkusen haven't lost to Wolfsburg in their last three meetings, winning once.
