Wolfsburg vs Leverkusen 16.04.2023

On Easter Sunday, Borussia Mönchengladbach defeated VfL Wolfsburg 2-0. The hosts’ goals came from Nathan Ngoumou (34′) and Marcus Thuram (63′), as the Wolves failed to take advantage of their opportunities during a promising first half. As a result, Niko Kovac’s team is still ranked ninth in the Bundesliga. On Sunday, April 16, at the Volkswagen Arena, the Green and Whites play again in the matchday 28 finale against rival European contenders Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

Fans of Bayer Leverkusen might have hope that their team can qualify for Europe this season thanks to the return of Florian Wirtz, a quick right-flank, and their World Cup, Euro, UEFA Champions League, and Bundesliga-winning coach Xabi Alonso.

This year, Leverkusen just has the X factor—the Xabi Alonso factor, to be precise. In order to secure another crucial three points in this Sunday evening trip to Wolfsburg, we’re sticking with the visitors at a great price.
