With Bayer having secured all three points on their two previous outings, Xabi Alonso’s men will doubtless be looking to retain their run after this fixture.

Bayer may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.
Wolfsburg have so far accrued 10 points in this season of the Bundesliga
Wolfsburg dropped points against B Mönchengladbach, only managing a 2-2 draw, having previously drawn 1-1 to Augsburg, so the team will want to win this game to move their season forward.
Also, Wolfsburg seem unable to get over the line on a consistent basis, with two draws in two meetings. Now they have 2 matches won, 4 games lost and 4 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in thirteenth place, with a total of 10 points having won two meetings, drawn four matches, and lost four fixtures.
Playing away from home, Wolfsburg have won one game, drawn one game, and lost three matches.
