Bundesliga: Two teams who have done well so far. Let's get ready for RB Leipzig - Wolfsburg with this comprehensive preview!

Insights:
  • RB Leipzig have the fewest conceded goals (28) in Bundesliga
  • Wolfsburg have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (14) in Bundesliga

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the DFB Pokal. This match was also played here at Red Bull Arena. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Wolfsburg have had more rest.

Leipzig can neither be promoted or relegated from Bundesliga. Wolfsburg are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

RB Leipzig, who have the fewest conceded goals (28) in Bundesliga, have performed here at Red Bull Arena this season with 11 wins from 16 Bundesliga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 2.

The RB Leipzig fans got no joy from their last match, a DFB Pokal game also here at Red Bull Arena: A 1-4 defeat against Borussia Dortmund (placed 4th). Dani Olmo (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.83/10. Olmo scored one goal, hit four key passes and dribled passed the opponent 4 of 5 times.

Heartbreak before that as Leipzig lost 2-3 at Borussia Dortmund's place.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Leipzig have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost zero.

A decent goal production from Leipzig in their home games so far, with 27 goals from 16 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. RB Leipzig have only conceded 11 from their league home games.

Wolfsburg go into this game after a win, the home game against Union Berlin that ended 3-0. Josip Brekalo got a match rating of 9.4 in that game, top player of the team.
