Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg

Leverkusen must continue their winning streak if they want to stay ahead of Bayern Munich in the points table. If Leverkusen loses a match, the players will lose confidence. And its adverse effects can be seen in their overall performance.

Leverkusen is playing at home against Wolfsburg. In 25 minutes, neither team can score a goal. Leverkusen's players have had 72% of ball possession. The gameplay of Wolfsburg's players seems to be their only goal in today's match by fending off Leverkusen's attacks and drawing the match goalless. I haven't seen a single attack from the Wolfsburg players yet. But if Wolfsburg keep their defense so strong, the match is likely to be a draw.

As expected, Bayern Leverkusen have taken the lead through Nathan Tella's 37th minute goal and that has just compounded the problems of Bayern Munic, their close rival. Wolfsburg is one man down following Moritz Jenz 28th minute red card and I think this might just sealed the fate of Wolfsburg tonight. However, I expecting that the combined effect of the red card and home advantage would have made Bayern Leverkusen score many goals, but it seems that is not happening as the score line still stood at one goal to nil and match has progress to the 73rd minute. If Bayern Leverkusen want to be comfortable in this match, they need to score a second goal. But the chances are high that they will maintain the lead.

The issues for Bayern were huge already and Leverkusen simply restored the old distance of 10 points. I have just had a discussion in another thread how Bayer Leverkusen might have gotten a bit nervous if they didn't win this game, but now I think this was it. 7 points would have been a different game, but 10 points with 9 games left, I think Leverkusen would go down in history if they somehow get so off track that they squandered this advantage. Now the time has finally come for them to get rid off the "Vicekusen-Curse" Tongue
