#WOBB04 - Countdown to kick-off

Tough nut to crack

Wolfsburg have won four of the last five games against Leverkusen – only the most recent meeting on 1 April 2016 saw the Werkself run out 3-0 winners at home. On their own turf, the Wolves have won the last six competitive matches against Leverkusen and they have come out on top in 15 of 20 home fixtures against Bayer 04 in the Bundesliga and the DFB Cup (plus one draw and four defeats, the last one a 3-2 reverse in October 2010).

Goals very likely

In the last 13 competitive games at Wolfsburg both teams have scored at least once and there has been an average of four goals per game.

Leverkusen have scored at least one goal in the last 28 competitive games against VfL. The last time Bayer 04 failed to score at Wolfsburg was in a 2-0 defeat in October 2002.

Favourite opponents

Stefan Kießling has played VfL Wolfsburg 22 times in his Bundesliga career scoring 11 goals along the way. In the top flight he is only scored more goals against VfB Stuttgart (14 in 21 games).

Chicharito has scored five of Bayer 04's last seven Bundesliga goals. In his two league games against Wolfsburg in 2015/16 the Mexican was directly involved in three of the four Leverkusen goals (two goals, one assist).
