Win in Wolfsburg would be a warning signal from unbeaten Everton

Everton, 3/1 for victory with Coral, make their way to the Volkswagen Arena knowing a win against Wolfsburg would mean they stay top of Europa Group H, but defeat would see them usurped.

Die Wolfe (odds-on favourites at 5/6 to triumph) are snapping at the Merseyside men’s heels, laying just one point behind the Toffees with two games to go, and will be looking to leapfrog their visitors.

Unbeaten in the Europa League, Everton have so far been steady if unspectacular on their away trips to the continent, picking up two draws against Lille and Krasnodar, and are 11/4 to split the spoils once more.

Although ending this intriguing encounter on even terms would be enough to retain their position at the pool summit, the Toffees should take the opportunity to display their competition credentials.

Roberto Martinez’s men have been unstable this season, frequently crashing from highs to lows in the Premier League, but were at their best when they dazzled a dazed Wolfsburg at Goodison Park earlier this season.

The Toffees smashed their group rivals 4-1, and are 125/1 to repeat that feat, although Dieter Hecking’s team should be much trickier opponents on home turf.

Currently chasing runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich, high-flying Wolfsburg sit second in their domestic league, where they have racked up an impressive 24 goals in 12 games.

Former Chelsea schemer and Belgium international Kevin de Bruyne is credited as being the catalyst behind Die Wolfe’s impressive attacking stats, after providing nine assists in 12 league outings.

The talented 23-year-old’s record in Europe is even more exciting, having teed up two goals and struck three himself in four matches. Dangerous De Bruyne will be keen to pick up where he left off before the international break, and is 15/8 to be the main protagonist again and net anytime.
