Bundesliga – RB Leipzig take on Wolfsburg

Next Sunday at 3:30pm GMT, on matchday 20 of the Bundesliga, we will see Leipzig play Wolfsburg at Red Bull Arena.

This clash sees fourteenth play seventh, as struggling Wolfsburg visit Red Bull Arena to face Leipzig.

RB Leipzig have 28 points to their name, going into this tie

Can Leipzig make it three out of three, having turned over Stuttgart 0-2 and Mainz 4-1 in their last two games?

Also, can Leipzig extend their incredible run of two wins? With 28 points (8W, 7L and 4D), they are established in seventh position in the League having won eight games, drawn four fixtures, and lost seven matches.

When Leipzig host Wolfsburg, they will do so on the back of seven wins and three defeats on their own ground.

Winning this fixture will see RB Leipzig on 31 points.

Good Attacking Performance

They have a good scoring average of 36 goals (30 from open play and six penalties). This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers – Christopher Nkunku (9), Andre Silva (8), and Emil Forsberg (4). Leipzig have conceded 23 goals.

Leipzig are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Domenico Tedesco is concerned that Sunday’s fixture could see him without three of his key players.

This season’s Bundesliga campaign, has so far seen Wolfsburg achieve 21 points

Wolfsburg’s next opponents will smell blood if they begin the next match with all guns blazing. Whilst it’s understandable that they may want to do this, after their recent 0-0 draw at Hertha and previous loss to Bochum, The Wolves must get a positive result and keep defensively solid.

Also, league success is all about winning football matches, any way you can, so 10 losses in 14 meetings would not make this a successful season for Wolfsburg. Now they have 6 matches won, 10 games lost and 3 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in fourteenth place, with a total of 21 points having won six meetings, drawn three matches, and lost 10 meetings.

Wolfsburg’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Leipzig. In the 9 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won three matches, drawn one game, and lost five games.

A victory for Wolfsburg would put them on 24 points.

Wolfsburg’s squad will likely be depleted of four of their key players when they start on Sunday, due to injury or illness.
