Wolfsburg Hosts Leverkusen in Crucial Bundesliga Showdown

WOLFSBURG, Germany — VfL Wolfsburg will face Bayer 04 Leverkusen today at 3:30 p.m. in the Volkswagen Arena. This match is critical for both teams as they seek to improve their standings in the Bundesliga.

Wolfsburg has struggled recently, sitting at 14th place with just eight points from ten matches. The team has not won any of their last seven Bundesliga encounters against Leverkusen, with four losses and three draws in that span. Their last home victory against Leverkusen dates back to October 2015.

Coach Daniel Bauer‘s side is under pressure after losing six of their last seven league matches. Their most recent match ended in a 1-2 defeat against Werder Bremen, which marks a club record of 13 consecutive home games without a win.

In contrast, Leverkusen is in better shape, currently sitting 5th with 20 points. They have earned 19 points from their last eight matches, second only to Bayern Munich during that timeframe. However, Leverkusen suffered a setback, losing 0-3 against Bayern in their last away match.

Key players for Leverkusen include Ernest Poku, who has made a strong impact with five goal involvements in his first five Bundesliga starts. Teammate Patrik Schick recently equaled the record for most goals scored by a foreign player for the club, but he still seeks his first against Wolfsburg.

Fans hoping to watch the match will need access to Sky or DAZN, as it will not be broadcast on free TV. The game can also be followed live via the sports news website, SPORT1.

As the teams prepare to clash, attention is also on Wolfsburg for off-field transitions, including potential changes in management.
