Leipzig vs. Wolfsburg: Match Prediction
The first-round Bundesliga 2024/25 match against Wolfsburg was a nightmare for Marco Rose's side, ending in a 1-5 defeat. The desire for revenge will serve as additional motivation for Leipzig. Even without extra factors, the team shows excellent results at home.
Leipzig has an impressive streak of 12 home victories in the national Cup. During this period, the club has defeated their upcoming opponent twice. Home encounters with Wolfsburg have generally been successful for the club: the aforementioned defeat is the only one in the last 10 official meetings (7 wins, 2 draws).
Wolfsburg regularly achieves away victories in the national Cup, but often their opponents are from lower divisions. The last time the club managed to defeat a Bundesliga representative away in this tournament was in 2018.
My prediction: Leipzig to win
