VfL Wolfsburg
DLDDLL ⚠

In that game, VfL Wolfsburg managed 24% possession and 2 shots on goal with 1 on target. At the other end, Bayer Leverkusen had 19 attempts at goal with 8 on target. Nathan Tella (37') and Florian Wirtz (86') scored for Bayer Leverkusen.
It has been a rare occasion in recent times that VfL Wolfsburg have kept a clean sheet.

That pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this game, though.
Taking a look at their past results, VfL Wolfsburg:
- have left without a victory over Augsburg in their last 4 league games.
- haven’t won at home in the past 6 league matches. Things will have to change soon.

📋 Team News: VfL Wolfsburg
There’s just the lone fitness concern for the VfL Wolfsburg boss Niko Kovač to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Ulysses Llanez (traffic accident) is sidelined. Moritz Jenz cannot play in this game through suspension.
It looks as if Wolfsburg look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring Koen Casteels, Ridle Baku, Maxence Lacroix, Cedric Zesiger, Joakim Maehle, Aster Vranckx, Maximilian Arnold, Lovro Majer, Jonas Wind, Kevin Paredes and Kevin Behrens.
ℹ️ Team News: Augsburg
Augsburg boss Jess Thorup has to currently contend with reduced team options. Patric Pfeiffer (Muscle injury), Raphael Framberger (Cruciate ligament tear) and Reece Oxford (muscular problems) are not ready for selection.
It’s our belief that Augsburg seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-1-2 system using Finn Dahmen, Kevin Mbabu, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Felix Uduokhai, Iago, Fredrik Jensen, Kristijan Jakic, Arne Maier, Ruben Vargas, Phillip Tietz and Ermedin Demirovic.
🔮 Prediction
We’re of the view that Augsburg will do well to score goals against this VfL Wolfsburg side who we reckon will score at least once to gain the upper hand.
We therefore fancy a good tussle with a 1-0 advantage for VfL Wolfsburg at the end of this one.
Hoping for a good game.
