SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Wolfsburg’s clash with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon.
Wolfsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen (Saturday, 14:30)
Bayer Leverkusen will look to keep on the coattails of Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich by banking all three points away at Wolfsburg on Saturday afternoon.
Xabi Alonso’s side remain six points off the summit despite the fact that they have triumphed in nine of their last 10 league games.
As for Wolfsburg, they dropped down to tenth place in the standings after sharing the spoils with both Holstein Kiel and Eintracht Frankfurt across the last two weekends.
Leverkusen's red-hot form in the Bundesliga of late will see them attract plenty of attention here at a general 4/5, however I would be more inclined to swerve the 1×2 market and instead side with a goal-heavy game.
The combination of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals will bring about an attractive 19/20 play with William Hill.
Goals at both ends have been a running theme in Wolfsburg’s Bundesliga home games this season, with each team landing a blow in all bar one of their 10 Volkswagen Arena assignments thus far.
On top of that, eight of those 10 contests involving the Wolves have broken the over 2.5 goal barrier, including each of their last four.
That can be attributed to the fact that a sizable 14 of Wolfsburg’s overall 20 Bundesliga matches this season have delivered a winning BTTS and Over 2.5 goals selection.
That augurs well for a repeat this weekend when Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side come against a Bayer Leverkusen side that have been the great entertainers in the German top-flight this term.
No fewer than 17 of Leverkusen’s 20 league games this season have delivered goals at both ends of the park, including eight of their nine away days.
Moreover, a considerable 15 of those 20 contests have also generated a minimum of three match goals, with this proposed combination clicking in five of the visitors’ previous six top-tier outings.
With all of that in mind, the 19/20 (William Hill) about a repeat here is a price that definitely represents value in a game that promises plenty of excitement and entertainment.
