RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg Predictions

Can RB Leipzig Take Revenge on Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal?

• Leipzig’s Defensive Struggles – Leipzig have conceded in seven of their last nine matches, showing vulnerability at the back despite their attacking threat.
• Wolfsburg’s Away Record in This Competition – Wolfsburg have never won a DFB-Pokal match at the Red Bull Arena, losing all three of their previous visits.
• High-Scoring Trend – At least four goals have been scored in five of Leipzig’s last nine home matches, reinforcing expectations of another goal-filled contest.

Best Bet for RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg

RB Leipzig will be out for redemption when they welcome Wolfsburg to the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals. The last time these two sides met in Leipzig, the Wolves tore their hosts apart with a ruthless 5-1 victory, leaving Marco Rose’s men humiliated in front of their own fans. That defeat sent Leipzig spiralling into a crisis, but they steadied the ship with a dominant 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the previous round of this competition.

However, consistency remains a major issue for Leipzig, who have won just two of their last nine matches in all competitions. Their recent 2-2 draw at home to Heidenheim was another frustrating reminder of their struggles to close out games, something Wolfsburg will look to exploit.

Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side may not be in the best form either, with just one win in their last six matches, but they have shown they can trouble Leipzig. Their 1-1 draw against relegation-battling Bochum last weekend won’t have inspired much confidence, yet their ability to execute a clinical counter-attacking strategy could make them dangerous once again. Leipzig will need to be sharp from the outset, or they risk seeing their cup dreams crumble at the hands of Wolfsburg for a second straight season.

Best Bet: RB Leipzig to Win & Both Teams to Score

At BettingTips4You.com, we focus on quality over quantity, providing just one top selection per match rather than throwing out multiple picks. For this game, the standout choice is RB Leipzig to Win & Both Teams to Score.

Despite Leipzig’s inconsistencies, they still possess the firepower to overcome Wolfsburg, particularly with Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko in the lineup. Both forwards were on target in their last match and will be central to Leipzig’s attacking threat. However, their defensive issues cannot be ignored, especially considering they shipped five goals the last time these two met in Saxony.

Wolfsburg, for all their struggles, have proven they can break down Leipzig’s defence. Mohamed El Amine Amoura, who netted twice in the 5-1 rout, remains a major threat, and with the Wolves’ pace in attack, they should find opportunities on the counter. Leipzig’s backline has been far from solid, and with injuries to key defensive players, it is hard to imagine them keeping a clean sheet.

What makes Leipzig favourites, though, is their superior quality in midfield and attack. Xavi Simons has been a creative force this season, and his ability to link up with Openda and Sesko will be key in breaking down Wolfsburg. Additionally, Leipzig’s home record in the DFB-Pokal is strong, having won all three previous cup encounters against Wolfsburg at the Red Bull Arena.

With Leipzig needing a reaction after their previous humiliation at the hands of Wolfsburg, expect a much more aggressive and determined display. However, given their defensive fragility, backing them to win while conceding looks like the smartest play.

“Leipzig’s quality in attack should see them through, but their defence remains a major concern. Wolfsburg’s pace can cause them problems, so expect goals at both ends before the hosts edge it.” – BettingTips4You.com expert Wolfgang Shotten

Predicted Scoreline: RB Leipzig 3-1 Wolfsburg

While Wolfsburg have the tools to cause Leipzig issues, the home side should have enough quality to get the job done. With Openda and Sesko leading the line, expect Leipzig to score multiple times. Wolfsburg might keep it interesting early on, but Leipzig’s firepower should prove decisive, making a 3-1 home victory the most likely outcome.
