Each team has listed the starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament.
Leipzig
In Matchday 11, Marco Rose's side suffered a 3-4 defeat to Hoffenheim. Over the last three Bundesliga matches, the team has only secured one point. The last time the club was in such form was in the middle of the previous championship, when they collected only two points over four rounds. In the standings, Leipzig has dropped to third place, trailing Bayern by eight points.
- In the 2024/25 Bundesliga, the club has conceded only one goal in home games, the best record among all tournament teams (matched only by Bayern).
- The club is unbeaten in their last 12 matches at the Red Bull Arena in the German championship (8 wins, 4 draws).
- Leipzig has not lost to the upcoming opponent in the last 7 home meetings in this tournament (5 wins, 2 draws).
Wolfsburg
In the previous round, the team defeated Union 1-0. The victory against the Berliners extended the club's unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga to four matches (2 wins, 2 draws). As Matchday 12 approaches, Ralf Hasenhüttl's side occupies 11th place, but the gap to the European competition zone is just two points.
- Both teams scored in 7 of Wolfsburg's last 9 Bundesliga matches.
- The club scored first in 6 of the previous 8 matches in this tournament.
- The team is unbeaten in 6 of their last 7 matches in the German championship (3 wins, 3 draws).
Leipzig vs. Wolfsburg: Match Prediction
Leipzig's matches are among the lowest-scoring in the current championship, with an average of 2.45 goals per game. In home games, this figure drops to just 1.8. Indeed, Marco Rose's side's matches at the Red Bull Arena rarely treat fans to high-scoring football, with no more than three goals scored in 9 of their last 12 Bundesliga games.
In Wolfsburg's away matches, we see a similar picture. No more than three goals have been scored in 11 of the team's last 15 away games in the championship.
The head-to-head statistics of the upcoming opponents are also noteworthy: no more than three goals have been scored in the last 6 meetings of these clubs in the German championship. I don't think Wolfsburg will be able to impose open football on the hosts, considering Leipzig's solid defense. Based on all these factors, my prediction is: Total under 3.5 goals
Augsburg
Bochum
Werder Bremen
Stuttgart
Union Berlin
Bayer 04
Freiburg
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Dortmund
Bayern Munich
Mainz 05
Hoffenheim
Heidenheim
Eintracht Frankfurt
