By the start of Round 21, Wolves are in tenth position in the table and are two points behind the top 6. In the previous three rounds, Ralf Hasenhüttl's team had mixed results. They managed to impose the fight on Bayern, although they lost 2:3, they took away points from Eintracht (1:1). At the same time, they could not defeat the modest Holstein (2:2) on their own field. It should be noted that in the home arena, Wolfsburg suffered only one defeat in the previous five matches – from Borussia Dortmund (1:3).

Bayer Leverkusen

Current form
According to the results of 20 rounds, Bayer remains, perhaps, the only pursuer of Bayern in the fight for the Bundesliga title. There is a gap of six points between the opponents. Leverkusen's only point loss since November last year came in a 2-2 draw with Leipzig, but the Munich players practically do not allow themselves to misfire. Xabi Alonso's team had a difficult quarterfinal match in the German Cup against Cologne last week. The opponent led 2-0 in that meeting, only in the second half did Bayer manage to turn the tide of the game in their favor and equalized the score thanks to Schick's double. In extra time, Boniface scored the decisive goal and took his team to the semifinals. As you can see, there was no significant rotation of the squad in the cup match.
