Wolfsburg vs Leipzig Preview and Team News

Wolfsburg Team News

Wolfsburg have been average from across the season so far. They have 10 wins under the belt out of 28 attempts, drawing 8 and losing 10 times. They sit 9th on the table, underscoring their mid-table credentials this season.

To underscore their ebbs and flows this season, they went three matches without a win, a draw, and two back-to-back defeats, ahead of hosting Union Berlin over the weekend, which they also lost.

The three consecutive defeats were all in 1-0 score lines against Augsburg away and Heidenheim and Union Berlin at home, exposing their lack of cutting edge in attack. This weakness has reared its head in recent matches despite plundering 49 times in 28 matches this season while conceding 42 times.

The home side is also reeling from a lengthy injury list of 9 first-team stars sidelined with injury and fitness issues. Missing in action include Sebastiaan Bornauw, Denis Vavro, Mads Roerslev, Mattias Svanberg, Konstantinos Koulierakis, Mathys Angely, Rogerio, Lovro Majer, and Bartosz Białek.

Based on recent form and their inconsistency, my football bet prediction has Wolfsburg struggling to break down Leipzig on Friday as they bid to steady their form.

Wolfsburg Predicted Lineup

Wolfsburg Predicted Lineup (3-4-1-2): Grabara; Fischer, Odogu, Gerhardt; Kaminski, Vranckx, Arnold, Mæhle; Wind; Wimmer, Behrens

Leipzig Team News

Like Wolfsburg, Leipzig have also been inconsistent in their performances across this season. They have managed 12 wins, 9 draws, and 7 defeats. They have collected 45 points, good enough for 5th on the Bundesliga table, with a solitary point separating them from Mainz in 4th. 

As the run-in heats up, Leipzig are within touching distance of the top four and a Champions League place.

My free football prediction has Leipzig needing to win all six remaining matches, starting with the clash against Wolfsburg, and hope that either Eintracht Frankfurt or Mainz slip up to give them an opening. However, a slip-up on their part will see Borussia Mönchengladbach catch up with them. 

Five injury absentees will throw a spanner in the works in the preparation for the trip to Wolfsburg on Friday. Assan Ouédraogo (hamstring), Benjamin Henrichs (Achilles tendon rupture), Antonio Nusa (knee injury), Xaver Schlager (muscle), and Kevin Kampl (illness) are all doubts for the clash against Wolfsburg and the run-in. 

Leipzig Predicted Lineup

Leipzig Predicted Lineup (4-2-2-2): Gulácsi; Raum, Lukeba, Orbán, Nedeljković; Seiwald, Baumgartner; Simons, Baku; Openda, Šeško.

Wolfsburg vs Leipzig Prediction 

• Pick: Draw
• Odds: 3.7 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Wolfsburg 1-1 Leipzig

Recent form and the two sides’ inconsistency in recent matches in the Bundesliga and across the season have backed an evenly contested clash ending in a low-score draw.

The two sides have not shown enough of their attacking play to establish a clear advantage in this clash. Leipzig have two wins in their last five outings in the Bundesliga, and Wolfsburg have a single win over the same run.

Last time out, Leipzig won 3-1 at home against Hoffenheim, but that result might be deceiving because the visitors had Østigård sent off in the 28th minute, giving the hosts a man advantage for most of the match. 

With 49 goals scored for the season, Wolfsburg edged Leipzig’s 44 goals. However, Leipzig, with 35 goals conceded, have a slight edge over Wolfsburg’s 42 conceded. This record shows that these sides are likely to cancel each other out in midfield, while their pragmatic approaches will shine through the match with a draw. 

Wolfsburg vs Leipzig Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Each Team Will Score Under 1.5 – Yes
• Odds: 3.1 (22Bet)

Based on recent performances and trends in their approach play, my football predictions analysis backs a low-scoring match with both sides scoring under 1.5.

Leipzig’s 4-2-2-2 formation will pack the midfield to ensure that they are not overpowered. Wolfsburg’s 3-4-1-2 will look to be dynamic. However, they will morph into a low block when out of possession.

This tactical approach will mean that chances will be hard to create in this match, backing a low-scoring match.
