Preview Leverkusen Vs VfL Wolfsburg 15 Februari 2015 : Preview and betting tip, The Bundesliga match between Bayer 04
Leverkusen and the VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday afternoon (15:30 CET) is a
clash between two of the best German teams. Still Leverkusen have not
been very convincing in the new year yet and they should rather be
successful now, if they do not want to lose contact to the Champions
League positions.
Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen are doing well in international football, reached the round of 16 in the Champions League, where they will face Atletico Madrid soon. In Bundesliga
they had some problems recently though, dropped to the sixth place of
the table after losing 1:2 at Werder Bremen last Sunday. Once again the
conversion of chances was unsatisfying, so they lost despite being the
dominating team. 2013’s Bundesliga topscorer Stefan Kießling has scored
only four times this season, Bayer managed only five goals in the last
seven games. However, Leverkusen’s squad is full of strong players,
especially right wing Karim Bellarabi (8 goals) is
still in outstanding form. They are still unbeaten on home ground, could
win only four times though (4-6-0). The defenders Toprak and Wendell
will both be suspended on Saturday, forward Robbie Kruse remains
injured.
VfL Wolfsburg
The VfL Wolfsburg bought André Schürrle for 32 million Euro from Chelsea two weeks ago and the world champion gave a tremendous debut for his new club, had two assists when the VfL beat Hoffenheim 3:0 last Saturday. Though this result seems convincing, it must be said that Wolfsburg had huge problems in the second half and were lucky that Hoffenheim missed tons of chances. It was actually the second clear home victory in 2015, the ‘Wolves’ had hammered Bayern Munich 4:1 before, a really confidence rising success, as they had been the first German team to beat the FCB this season. However, Wolfsburg are anything else than consistent and they are a pretty weak away side for many years, disappointed again when only drew 1:1 in Frankfurt two weeks ago.Worth knowing about Bayer Leverkusen - VfL Wolfsburg
