Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
All eyes will be on BayArena when Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg take on each other in what is expected to be an interesting Bundesliga game. The BayArena outfit aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Hoffenheim and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Nigeria forward Victor Boniface, who scored a brace at the weekend, while pacey wing-back Jeremie Frimpong should be recalled to the starting XI.
There are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Meanwhile, the Wolves failed to impress in a 2-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Leverkusen’s party at BayArena. All Lovro Majer, Joakim Maehle, Bartosz Bialek, Kevin Paredes, Lukas Nmecha, and Rogerio are out of contention with injuries for the away team.

Alex Grimaldo is a Spanish footballer who plays for Portuguese side Benfica as a left back. Born in Valencia on September 20, 1995, Grimaldo started his youth career at his hometown club FC Valencia, but in 2008 Barcelona scouts brought him to Camp Nou.
The 171-cm-tall footballer scored six goals in 92 appearances for Barca B before joining Primeira Liga club Benfica in the winter of 2015. Alex Grimaldo made his debut with the Eagles on January 26, 2016 in a 6-1 win at Moreirense in the Taca da Liga.

The Benfica defender has two caps for Spain U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut with the senior team. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a left winger as well.
Highlighted Team (Wolfsburg):
Wolfsburg are a German football club founded in the aftermath of the World War II (1945). Die Wolfe (The Wolves) wear green and white shirts and they play their home games at Volkswagen Arena. The capacity of the stadium is 30,000 and it was opened on 13 December, 2002.
It is well known that German car manufacturer Volkswagen are the club’s main sponsors. Wolfsburg won the Bundesliga trophy in 2009 and the likes of Edin Dzeko, Grafite and Zvjezdan Misimovic were part of the club’s golden generation.
You should bear in mind that Grafite and Dzeko scored 54 goals between each other in the 2008/2009 Bundesliga campaign and that the team clinched the trophy thanks to a 5-1 win over Werder Bremen on 23 May, 2009. Die Wolfe won the German Cup trophy in 2015, with the team beating star-studded Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the title game. Wolfsburg are a team that has no bitter rivals in German football.
