RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg: Match Prediction
Ole Werner's side have looked confident at home in the current league campaign. RB Leipzig have won seven of 10 matches, losing only to Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. There was a surprise outcome in the last home game, but the defeat to Mainz should serve as extra motivation for the team. Wolfsburg, meanwhile, are in far too poor form to put up proper resistance against the hosts. The visitors have lost six of their previous seven Bundesliga matches.
In the reverse fixture, RB Leipzig won by the narrowest of margins, but there should be more goals in the upcoming game. Wolfsburg have kept just one clean sheet since then. Even a consistently productive attack cannot make up for problems at the back. RB Leipzig, meanwhile, have shown excellent finishing: the club scored at least twice in nine of their last 12 home league matches.
Prediction: RB Leipzig to win + Over 2.5 goals
