Full-time: Leverkusen 4-3 Wolfsburg

What. A. Game! Defending champions Leverkusen twice came from behind to see off the challenge of an excellent Wolfsburg side and take all three points. Florian Wirtz, Jonathan Tah and Piero Hincapié kept the hosts motoring before the visitors were reduced to ten. Victor Boniface then popped up in Bayer 04 time to win it for Xabi Alonso's side.

Game day in Leverkusen!

The defending Bundesliga champions are in action against visiting Wolfsburg at the BayArena today and you can follow every kick right here. It looks like being the perfect day for football, with temperatures of 24 degrees Celsius, or 72 Fahrenheit at kick off time.

Looking for consistency

Wolfsburg have lost two of their first three games this season, and will see this as a huge opportunity to kick-start their season with an eye-catching win. Last season, they had won three and lost one of their opening four games.

Big changes

At the time of Wolfsburg's last victory over Leverkusen, the sides were just one point apart after 10 games, with both having won five games. They meet much earlier this time around, with Leverkusen having won two of their opening three games, while Wolfsburg have won one.

Previous meetings

In the last six meetings between these two sides, Leverkusen have won three, drawn two and lost one. Wolfsburg's last victory over Leverkusen came in the 2021/22 season, when they won 0-2 at the BayArena courtesy of goals from Lukas Nmecha and Maximilian Arnold.
