RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg odds
RB Leipzig Team News
RB Leipzig is battling for fourth place in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund, and both teams currently have 53 points each, but Leipzig is ahead on goal difference. Marco Rose’s team achieved a convincing 5-1 victory against FC Koln, then played a goalless draw against Mainz, and secured another win by defeating Freiburg 4-1 in their last three matches. Lois Openda shone in Leipzig’s away match against Freiburg in the 28th round, scoring two goals and providing two assists. The last time a Leipzig player was involved in four goals in one match was in 2020 when Christopher Nkunku provided four assists against Schalke.
This result extended Leipzig’s unbeaten streak to five consecutive games in the league and returned them to the top four for the first time since January. Now they return to the Red Bull Arena, where they have kept four consecutive clean sheets and earned 13 points out of the last 15 offered. In their last 15 encounters against teams in the bottom half of the Bundesliga table, Leipzig has scored 32 goals while conceding only nine, collecting 33 points and securing 10 victories during that period.
Danish international Yussuf Poulsen had to leave the field during Leipzig’s draw against Mainz at the end of last month due to a muscle injury and will be sidelined in the foreseeable future. The only other absent player for the hosts here is David Raum, who received his fifth yellow card of the season during the match against Freiburg and will serve a one-match suspension this weekend. Openda has been indispensable for Leipzig this season, currently the team’s top scorer with 21 goals, and will almost certainly lead the attack in this match alongside Benjamin Sesko.
Wolfsbourg Team News
Wolfsburg is going through a tough season in the league, marking their worst performance since 2017/18 when they finished 16th. Currently, they have 28 points from as many games, just five points above Mainz, who are in the relegation playoff zone. Die Wolfe’s form has been unstable lately, with only one win in their last three matches. After a 3-1 loss to Augsburg, they secured a 2-0 victory against Werder Bremen, but were defeated again 3-1 by Borussia Monchengladbach in their latest match.
Against Monchengladbach, Wolfsburg took the lead thanks to a goal from Ridle Baku after just seven minutes, but later lost control completely, conceding two goals within five minutes at the start of the second half before Rocco Reitz sealed the final score two minutes before the end. Wolfsburg’s poor form this season led to the dismissal of Niko Kovac at the end of last month, with Austrian coach Ralph Hasenhuttl taking his place. Hasenhuttl debuted with a win against Werder Bremen but failed to maintain good results, suffering a loss to Fola last week. There’s also talk of their director, Marcel Schafer, possibly departing, with Leipzig being mentioned as a possible destination.
In their last six away games in the Bundesliga, Die Wolfe have managed only one victory, with three draws and two losses. They’ve scored six goals while conceding seven. Wolfsburg will be without five players for this match. Maxence Lacroix is still suspended after being sent off in the win against Werder Bremen. Koen Casteels is sidelined due to a shoulder injury, meaning Pavao Pervan will continue in goal. Kevin Paredes and Lukas Nmecha are out with muscle injuries, while Rogerio is injured and doubtful for the game.

RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg Prediction
Although RB Leipzig has been defeated in their last two matches against this opponent, both games were played at the Volkswagen Arena. Now they are returning home, in good form, and we expect the hosts to secure all three points in this encounter. Additionally, we believe the match won’t be too open, so our betting suggestion is a home win with no more than three goals scored throughout the game.
