RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting tips
The numbers two and three of the Bundesliga face each other in the quarterfinals of the DFP Pokal. Last year, the two teams also met each other in the cup tournament. At the time, Leipzig won no less than 1-6. What can we expect this time?
RB Leipzig:
RB Leipzig is still active on three fronts while the month of March has arrived. Admittedly, there is a good chance that only one game in the Champions League will be played by Die Roten Bullen, after the 0-2 defeat in the first leg against Liverpool, but Leipzig has plenty of opportunities for both the national championship and the cup. In the competition, Leipzig is only two points behind leader Bayern Munich. There were almost four after the last round of play, but Leipzig managed to beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-2 at the last minute on Saturday – an otherwise well-deserved victory.
So now a showdown with Wolfsburg awaits in the DFP Pokal. The teams also met each other last year; Leipzig then won surprisingly well with 1-6 in the Volkswagen Arena. Leipzig managed to reach the quarter finals of this edition of the cup tournament by successively dealing with 1. FC Nurnberg (0-3), FC Augsburg (0-3) and VfL Bochum (4-0). With Wolfsburg there is therefore a first really tough cup match of this season on the program. Trainer Julian Nagelsmann has the option to rotate, although we should certainly not expect a b-team at kick-off.
Wolfsburg:
Like Leipzig, VfL Wolfsburg is in the top four of the Bundesliga. This is in line with expectations at the club from Saxony, but for Wolfsburg that performance is a lot more surprising. The club from the Volkswagen city is playing a very strong season, with good results week-in-week-out. It was only lost twice this season by Wout Weghorst and his teammates. Last Saturday, the green and white in their own stadium were 2-0 too strong for Hertha BSC, in an otherwise very boring match. The game of Wolfsburg is usually not that spectacular, but the results are.
Wolfsburg also did not encounter any strong teams in the rounds before this quarter-final. A month ago in the eighth finals, FC Schalke 04 was the only Bundesliga club that had to eliminate Wolfsburg. A goal by Wout Weghorst – who has scored this cup tournament three times so far – the number last of the Bundesliga was beaten 1-0. Die Wolfe’s current success is in no small part due to its exceptionally solid defense. Wolfsburg did not concede a goal in any of the last eight official matches. Central defender John Brooks is likely to return to base on Wednesday after a short suspension. For the rest, few changes in the line-up of trainer Oliver Glasner are to be expected.
