Bayer Leverkusen vs. Wolfsburg: Prediction, Team News, Lineups
Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg face off in a crucial clash on Saturday, with both teams looking to boost their top-four hopes.
Leverkusen have been in impressive form of late, winning four of their last five league games, including a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich. They currently sit third in the table, just one point behind second-placed RB Leipzig.
Wolfsburg, meanwhile, have been somewhat inconsistent this season but remain in contention for a Champions League spot. They are currently fifth in the table, four points behind Leverkusen.
Team News Leverkusen will be without the services of suspended midfielder Exequiel Palacios, while defender Jeremie Frimpong is a doubt due to injury.
Wolfsburg have no major injury concerns, but manager Niko Kovac could make some changes to his team after their disappointing 2-0 defeat to Mainz last weekend.
Possible Lineups Leverkusen: Hradecky; Kossounou, Tapsoba, Hincapie; Frimpong, Andrich, Demirbay, Sinkgraven; Diaby, Schick, Hudson-Odoi
Wolfsburg: Casteels; Baku, Bornauw, Van de Ven, Otavio; Arnold, Guilavogui, F Nmecha; Brekalo, L Nmecha, Marmoush

We predict a narrow 2-1 win for Leverkusen.
