Can Leipzig turn Red Bull Arena into a fortress again against Wolfsburg? Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
Read Rationale ▾
Leipzig’s attacking volume is superior, averaging 16.2 shots per game, but they have conceded in four of their last eight league matches. Wolfsburg’s defensive vulnerability out wide is a major issue, yet they consistently find the net, having scored in many of their recent outings despite their struggles.
Read Rationale ▾
Given Wolfsburg’s defensive record of 44 goals conceded and their streak of 14 games without a clean sheet, a high-scoring Leipzig win is plausible. Leipzig’s habit of scoring at least once in 27 straight home games, combined with their 16.2 shot average, points toward a multi-goal victory.

Match Preview: Top-Four Chase Meets Relegation Heat
Leipzig sit fourth on 39 points, only three off third-placed Hoffenheim, and they’ve just edged Köln 2-1 in the league — even if Bayern ended their cup run with a 2-0 defeat midweek. Wolfsburg arrive in 15th with 19 points, stung by a 2-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund on February 7 and carrying a defensive record that keeps turning tight matches into uphill climbs. Kick-off is 16:30, and with Leipzig’s attacking volume meeting Wolfsburg’s vulnerability out wide and on set pieces, this one has “swingy” written all over it.

- Wolfsburg’s defensive haemorrhage: Wolfsburg have conceded 44 goals in 21 league games and have allowed 1+ goal in each of their last 14 matches in all competitions.
- Arena edge, but recent cracks: Leipzig have scored 1+ goal in 27 straight home matches in all competitions, yet they’ve also lost three of their last four Bundesliga fixtures at home.
Team News & Probable Lineups
RB Leipzig — Absentees
V. Gebel (cruciate ligament tear), S. Suleiman (ankle injury), F. Ouédraogo (knee injury, out until 31/03/2026), C. Lukeba (fitness)
Wolfsburg — Absentees
No injuries or suspensions listed.
Probable Lineups
RB Leipzig (possible XI): Gulácsi; Baku, Orbán, Lukeba, Finkgräfe; Gruda, Seiwald, Baumgartner; Diomande, Rômulo, Nusa
Wolfsburg (possible XI): Grabara; Kumbedi, Vavro, Koulierakis, Belocian; Eriksen, Arnold; Daghim, Majer, Amoura; Pejcinovic
What the selections hint at
- Leipzig’s shape screams width and pace: Yan Diomande, Rômulo and Antonio Nusa bring shots, dribbles and direct running around Christoph Baumgartner.
- If Castello Lukeba doesn’t pass the fitness test, Leipzig’s back line loses one of its higher-rated performers — and they’ve already conceded at least two in four of their last eight league games.
- Wolfsburg’s spine leans on craft and delivery: Christian Eriksen, Maximilian Arnold and Lovro Majer can feed Mohammed Amoura and Dzenan Pejcinovic, but their wide defending is a problem area.

Tactical Battle: How the Match Plays Out
Leipzig: volume, angles, and wave after wave
Ole Werner’s Leipzig are built to overwhelm. They play short passes, attempt through balls often, and take a lot of shots — the numbers back it up with 16.2 shots per game and 40 league goals. The threat isn’t one-note either: Baumgartner brings end product (8 goals, 6 assists), Diomande adds punch (7 goals, 4 assists), and Nusa fires plenty (2.7 shots per game). The pressure point is wide. Leipzig are strong attacking down the wings, and that clashes with a Wolfsburg team that are very weak defending against attacks down the flanks. Expect Leipzig to stretch the pitch, pin full-backs deep, then hit the seam with a through ball when Wolfsburg’s line gets twitchy.
Wolfsburg: deeper blocks, sharp passes, and set-piece hope
Daniel Bauer’s Wolfsburg have enough technicians to hurt you if you let them breathe. Their strengths include creating chances through through balls and shooting from set pieces, and with Eriksen and Arnold in the engine room, they can play that first forward pass quickly. Amoura (7 league goals) gives them direct running, while Pejcinovic (5) offers a penalty-box target. The problem is what happens when they lose the ball. Wolfsburg often play in their own half, and they’re very weak at protecting the lead. If they sink too deep for too long, Leipzig’s repeat waves will keep coming — and corners matter here, with Leipzig averaging 5.36 per game in the broader match list.
Game-State Scenarios
Both teams carry game-state flaws. Leipzig are weak at protecting the lead and avoiding individual errors, while Wolfsburg’s weaknesses stack up: defending set pieces, dangerous-area fouls, wide defending, and protecting the lead. That’s why the first 20 minutes feel massive: if Leipzig start fast, Wolfsburg could spend the day chasing. If Wolfsburg ride it out and nick momentum through a set play or a quick through ball, Leipzig’s recent home wobble gets tested again.
Key Moments to Watch
- Wide overloads: Leipzig attacking down the wings versus Wolfsburg’s struggles defending flanks could decide where the match tilts.
- Set pieces at both ends: Leipzig are strong at attacking and defending set pieces; Wolfsburg are weak defending them but dangerous with dead-ball shooting.
- Discipline under pressure: Wolfsburg average 2.17 yellow cards per game in the broader list; giving away cheap fouls near the box is asking for trouble.
- First spell intensity: Leipzig average 100.2 total attacks and 48.56 dangerous attacks per game in the match list, a tempo that can suffocate visitors early.
- Finishing efficiency: Leipzig create huge volume (xG mentioned at 39.5 in the league context), but recent form shows they can still be dragged into scrap-fights.
What could go wrong?
Leipzig’s home confidence has been dented by three defeats in their last four Bundesliga games at Red Bull Arena, and they’ve conceded two or more in four of their last eight league matches. If Wolfsburg weather the first wave and land one clean through ball into Amoura or Pejcinovic, the crowd gets edgy and the match opens up. And once it opens up, both sides have shown they can mismanage a lead — the sort of chaos that turns a comfortable-looking fixture into a late, frantic finish.
Betting Market Analysis 📊
Match Result & BTTS 🎯
This market requires you to predict the winner and whether both teams will score. It is excellent for matches where a strong favourite has a leaky defence. Pros: higher odds than a simple win. Cons: requires two independent outcomes to occur.
Correct Score ⚔️
A high-risk, high-reward market where you must guess the final scoreline exactly. Pros: significant price returns. Cons: very high volatility as a single late goal can ruin the pick.
Leipzig to Edge a High-Scoring Contest 🎯
RB Leipzig enter this fixture with an aggressive attacking profile, averaging 16.2 shots per Bundesliga match. Their ability to generate volume is clear, having scored 40 goals in 21 league games. However, their defensive stability has been questioned recently, with at least two goals conceded in four of their last eight league outings. This vulnerability suggests that while they have the fire power to secure a victory, keeping a clean sheet remains difficult.
Tactical Indicators:
- Leipzig average 16.2 shots per Bundesliga match.
- Wolfsburg have conceded in each of their last 14 matches.
- Leipzig have scored in 27 consecutive home games.
Risk Factor: Leipzig have lost three of their last four Bundesliga fixtures at the Red Bull Arena.
Scoreline Analysis: Why 3-1 is Plausible 📊
Wolfsburg’s defensive record is among the poorest in the division, with 44 goals conceded across 21 games. Their tendency to allow goals—having failed to keep a clean sheet in 14 straight competitive matches—aligns with Leipzig’s relentless attacking nature. With Leipzig averaging 5.36 corners per game and Wolfsburg showing specific weaknesses in defending out wide, the home side is expected to create multiple high-quality opportunities. A 3-1 scoreline reflects Leipzig’s scoring consistency at home and Wolfsburg’s ability to find a response through technicians like Eriksen and Arnold.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Strong at stretching play through Nusa and Diomande to exploit wide areas.
Officially very weak at defending against attacks down the wings.
