RB Leipzig holds the advantage in the race for a Champions League finish at this stage, and they will be hoping to continue their challenge when they play host to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga this weekend.
Bundesliga Preview
It has been an excellent period on the field for RB Leipzig, as the German club have moved into the Champions League positions after winning four of their last five matches. That recent form gives them a lead over Borussia Dortmund, but they will likely need to maintain their winning record over the final month of the season to finish above their rivals.
There is nothing wrong with Leipzig’s recent form on the field, as they come into this round of fixtures after winning four of their last five. Their excellent winning sequence was maintained in fine fashion last weekend with a 4-1 success on the road against Freiburg. Lois Openda was the standout player for the German side in that fixture after netting twice, while further goals were added by Amadou Haidara and Benjamin Sesko.
Wolfsburg will be the latest team to try and take points off Leipzig this weekend. The visiting side comes into this round of matches in poor recent form in the Bundesliga after suffering defeats in four of their last five matches in the competition. They could yet have worries surrounding their future in the competition, as they sit just five points above the relegation places.
Wolfsburg’s most recent defeat was suffered at home against Borussia Monchengladbach last Sunday, with the German side suffering a 3-1 defeat. Their poor defensive record at this stage could be a factor that goes against them once again this weekend.
RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg Head to Head
Leipzig have recorded victories in three of their last four matches against Wolfsburg. Their only defeat against their rivals was suffered in the reverse clash between the sides earlier in the campaign. However, Leipzig have recorded victories in each of their last two home matches against Wolfsburg at the Red Bull Arena.
RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg Prediction
Wolfsburg’s poor defensive record since the turn of the year is a major concern ahead of this fixture in the Bundesliga on Saturday. For that reason, we will be siding with the home team landing maximum points to close in on their place in the Champions League positions this term.
