Bayer Leverkusen will look to continue their quest for their Bundesliga title when they host Wolfsburg at BayArena on Sunday.
Xabi Alonso's troops moved further clear at the top last weekend, as their 2-0 Rhine derby win over FC Koln coupled with Bayern Munich's draw at Freiburg opened up a 10-point gap between the two sides.
While Leverkusen are flying high at the top of the German top-flight standings, Wolfsburg are struggling at the bottom.
The eight-point lead over the relegation play-off berth gives them some breathing space, Nico Kovac's side are still winless after eight games in 2024 despite losing just twice, including a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Stuttgart last weekend.
