Why Over 2.5 Is Better Than GG For Accumulator Bets

2y ago

Leverkusen’s red-hot start to the Bundesliga season might have slowed down in recent weeks, but Bosz’s side are still very much one of the best sides in the league. And on their day, they are quite capable of beating anyone.

Having missed out on European football in excruciating fashion last season, Oliver Gasner will be looking to go one better and get his side competing with Europe’s big boys once again. And judging from the current situation on the league standings, it is safe to say Die Wolfe are on the right path.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg Team News

Last time they took to the field, Leverkusen recorded an impressive 2-1 victory in the Borussen derby over rivals, Dortmund. Bayer took the lead via a Moussa Diaby strike early in the first half, but were pegged back by a Julian Brandt goal at the resumption of proceedings in the second half.

However, a Florian Wirtz goal late in the second half sealed victory for Peter Bosz’s men, and ensured they remain in contention to mount an unlikely title charge.

Following a run of seven straight league matches without defeat late last year, Leverkusen’s season seems to have hit a snag, and victory over Wolfsburg was their first league victory in five tries - within that period, Leverkusen have lost thrice and drawn once.

Despite their recent poor form, Die Werkself sit third on the Bundesliga standings, with 32 points from 17 games, and they are just seven points behind Bayern Munich in first.

Bosz’s men are among the league leaders for goals scored, and their record of 17 goals conceded in 17 matches is only bettered by RB Leipzig. Leverkusen have struggled at times when playing at home this season, and they have won just four of the eight matches played at the BayArena.

Regardless, Wolfsburg’s away form is certainly not awe-inspiring, and Die Wolfe have only collected 11 points out of a possible 27 on their journeys this term.

Three of those eleven points for Wolfsburg came from their last away trip, when they travelled to Mainz to secure a comfortable 0-2 win. The Wolves left it till the second half to secure the win, with goals from Bartosz Bialek and Wout Weghorst proving enough to get all three points on the night.

That win was essential in Wolfsburg’s pursuit of European football, as The Wolves had failed to record a victory in any of their three previous league encounters. Gasner’s side are currently placed fifth in Bundesliga, having collected 29 points from their opening 17 matches, but they are just two points above Frankfurt in 8^th!

Injured or Suspended Players

Bayer Leverkusen: Paulinho, Santiago Arias, Exequiel Palacios, Sven Bender, Karim Bellarabi, Mitchell Weiser, Julian Baumgartlinger and Jonathan Tah.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg Predictions

Leverkusen might have struggled for form recently, but they did get a victory over Dortmund in their last outing, and are favorites to record another win in this encounter. Both sides boast two of the meanest defenses in the league, hence this is unlikely going to be a high-scoring affair.

As we cannot call out an outright win in this fixture, our safest punt will be backing both sides to hit the target before the sound of the final whistle.
