Leverkusen is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 matches. They were struggling more at the start of the season with some much closer wins, but now they are starting to hit their stride again, winning their last 2 matches by a combined score of 8-1 and both of those being away from home. They actually lost their only home match this season, losing to RB Leipzig 3-2, but they have been in dominant form since that match and will be pushing to get their 1st home win of the season here. They are going up against a Wolfsburg side that has not been in good form this season. They have lost 2 of their 3 league matches this season and their defense has not been good in those, allowing at least 2 goals in 2 of their 3 matches. They actually lost both of their home matches, losing 3-2 to Bayern and 2-1 to Frankfurt, while their only win was away from home against a very weak Kiel side. Wolfsburg has already struggled at home to keep out 2 much stronger sides in the league, and now they are getting the Bundesliga champions of last season who have been in great form their last 2 matches. Leverkusen is going to find the net on this awful defense at home and Wolfsburg will struggle a lot more to score in this match away from home against a very good Leverkusen defense that has tightened up in their last 2 matches. Leverkusen will win this match at home by 2 or more goals, take Leverkusen -1.5 here.
