Leipzig started this campaign on a winning streak but that came to an end, replaced instead by a miserable run. Unable to maintain the high standards they had set, the side is on a 3-match winless run in all competitions. Leipzig know they will be facing a Wolfsburg side with a rock-solid defence which has only let in 4 goals in the campaign, a league record.

Coach Julian Nagelsmann will be counting on Timo Werner who has been scoring for fun lately with 5 goals under his belt already to come up with the goods in this clash. A win here would eve propel them to the top of the table given favourable outcomes in other matches.

Wolfsburg are unbeaten in the league so far. They are currently sitting 2^nd in Bundesliga, a point behind leaders Monchengladbach. However, they have had easy opponents in their opening fixtures and are yet to meet a side which challenged them. Leipzig are likely the team to do that.

Oliver Glasner, the Wolfsburg coach will be looking to maintain their perfect record - the Wolves have not lost a single away fixture, all while conceding only one goal. After parting ways with Ralph Hsenhuttl, the side has transformed into a team capable of grinding out results when the match gets tough.

RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg Predictions

Both teams will be out for all three points. Leipzig have scored in their last three games at home and are expected to find the back of the net in the early stages of this fixture. Wolfsburg will not go down without a fight and both sides should share the points here. Backing Timo Werner to find the back of the net, Leipzig will be first to draw blood in this clash given their attacking philosophy.
