The Bundesliga continues this weekend and will see Wolfsburg host Bayer Leverkusen at the Volkswagen Arena on Sunday evening.
Wolfsburg were beaten 3-2 by Freiburg in a thrilling encounter last weekend. Finding themselves two goals behind by the break, the Wolves began to mount a comeback and drew level in the 84th minute only to be pegged back once again at the death.
The hosts sit 12th in the league table with 31 points from 26 games. They will now be looking to shake off their latest result and return to winning ways when they play on Sunday.
Bayer Leverkusen have had a tough couple of weeks. They were beaten 1-0 by Koln in their last league game which saw two key members of their starting XI suffer season-ending injuries. They then crashed out of the Europa League on Thursday after losing 4-2 on aggregate to Italian side Atalanta.
The visitors sit third in the league table with 45 points from 26 games. They will aim to regroup and get their campaign back on track starting this weekend.

Wolfsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
Wolfsburg have won just one of their last four games, conceding seven goals in that period. They have, however, lost just one of their last four home games and will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage this weekend.
Bayer Leverkusen are on a four-game winless run across all competitions and have now failed to score in back-to-back games. They are the stronger side ahead of Sunday's game and should return to winning ways.
Prediction: Wolfsburg 1-2 Bayer Leverkusen
