Bayer Leverkusen had a remarkable last season, losing only one competitive match, the Europa League final against Atalanta. Domestically, they secured the double, but now they face the challenge of maintaining this momentum. Their first home game of the new season, a 2-3 loss to RB Leipzig, ended their long unbeaten streak, relieving some pressure. However, Leverkusen bounced back with convincing wins over Hoffenheim 4-1 and Feyenoord 4-0, showing the team hasn’t been shaken by the early defeat. Leverkusen’s attacking power has been a key factor in their success, scoring nine goals so far, second only to Bayern’s eleven. However, their defence has been shaky, conceding six goals in three Bundesliga games. Despite this, their offence, led by standout player Boniface, who shone in their win over Hoffenheim and impressed in the Champions League, keeps them competitive. Against Wolfsburg, Leverkusen will rely on this offensive firepower. Wolfsburg, under new coach Hasenhuttl, have struggled, losing four of their last five Bundesliga games. Although Wolfsburg has started the season poorly, they’ve performed better away from home, and their record at Leverkusen’s BayArena is solid, with only one loss in their last eight visits. But this is the new Bayer Leverkusen led by coach Xabi Alonso, so everything except a win with more than a goal difference would be huge surprise for me.

勒沃库森上赛季表现出色，只输掉了一场正式比赛，即欧联杯决赛对阵亚特兰大的比赛。在国内，他们获得了双料冠军，但现在他们面临着保持这种势头的挑战。他们新赛季的第一场主场比赛以2-3不敌莱比锡，结束了他们长期的不败纪录，减轻了一些压力。然而，勒沃库森以令人信服的4-1战胜霍芬海姆和4-0战胜费耶诺德，这表明球队并没有被早期的失败所动摇。勒沃库森的进攻力量是他们成功的关键因素，迄今为止打进9球，仅次于拜仁的11球。然而，他们的防守一直不稳定，在三场德甲比赛中丢了6个球。尽管如此，他们的进攻，在出色球员博尼法斯的带领下，在击败霍芬海姆的比赛中表现出色，在冠军联赛中给人留下了深刻的印象，保持了他们的竞争力。对阵沃尔夫斯堡，勒沃库森将依靠这种进攻火力。在新教练哈森赫特尔的带领下，沃尔夫斯堡表现不佳，最近五场德甲比赛输掉了四场。虽然沃尔夫斯堡本赛季开局不佳，但他们在客场的表现更好，他们在勒沃库森球场的战绩也很稳定，最近8次客场只输了一场。但这是在阿隆索教练的带领下的勒沃库森，所以除了一场净胜球以上的胜利之外，其他一切对我来说都是巨大的惊喜。
