THE LOWDOWN

RB LEIPZIG

RB Leipzig finally broke into the top four last weekend after their resounding 1-4 victory away at Freiburg, combined with Borussia Dortmund’s defeat at home to Stuttgart. However, goal difference is all that is between the two clubs as it stands, so Marco Rose’s side can’t afford to rest on their laurels, with another three points desperately needed here.

WOLFSBURG

Wolfsburg failed to use their win away at Werder Bremen as a platform in which to build upon, losing the week after against Borussia Monchengladbach. It’s four defeats from their last five Bundesliga fixtures now for Wolfsburg, who have shipped a whopping ten goals across those four losses. That doesn’t bode well against an opponent such as RB Leipzig.

PREDICTED XI (4-2-2-2): Gulacsi; Simakan, Orban, Castello, Henrichs; Kampl, Schlager; Olmo, Simons; Openda, Sesko

THE PREDICTION

After having broken into the top four, RB Leipzig will have no intention of giving it up in a hurry, so expect them to be laser-focused heading into this match. Wolfsburg’s poor form and defensive fragilities should be fully exposed by the quality of RB Leipzig’s forward play, with plenty of chances likely to be created from their perspective. Back a relatively comfortable victory for the hosts.
