📰 Team News: Bayer Leverkusen

It’s our opinion that Leverkusen will possibly make use of the 3-4-2-1 system this time, handing starts to Lukas Hradecky, Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah, Piero Hincapie, Jeremie Frimpong, Alejandro Grimaldo, Granit Xhaka, Robert Andrich, Martin Terrier, Florian Wirtz and Victor Okoh Boniface.

ℹ️ Team News: VfL Wolfsburg

VfL Wolfsburg boss Ralph Hasenhüttl has multiple availability issues to deal with. Bartosz Bialek (Knee injury), Kevin Paredes (Foot injury), Lukas Nmecha (Hamstring injury), Lovro Majer (Ankle injury) and Rogério (Knee surgery) can’t be considered.

There’s a good chance that Wolfsburg will likely make use of a 4-3-2-1 system, settling for Kamil Grabara, Kilian Fischer, Sebastiaan Bornauw, K. Koulierakis, Jakub Kaminski, Aster Vranckx, Salih Oezcan, Maximilian Arnold, Ridle Baku, Patrick Wimmer and Mohamed Amoura.
