Team News

Leverkusen
Wolfsburg
  • Exequiel Palacios is fit after a knee op, but Xabi Alonso will have to see how his side rock up after their CL game.
  • Joakim Maehle is on his way back from a muscle tear, while Bartosz Bialek has a knee problem. Kevin Paredes is ruled out until mid-September with a foot injury, while Lovro Majer will be out for several weeks with ankle ligament damage.
  • Rogerio is recovering from a knee op, and Lukas Nmecha is on his way back from a thigh injury.

Prediction

  • Xabi Alonso's record-breaking champions relinquished their unbeaten record after 35 games, but returned to winning ways with a comfortable win over Hoffenheim.
  • Wolfsburg have improved slightly under ex-Southampton and Leipzig boss Ralph Hasenhüttl, and remain without a draw in 11 games -- five wins and six defeats.
  • "The Wolves" have all week to prepare but Leverkusen edged both meetings last season and can get the job done again.
