Prediction

  • Leipzig will have to recover from another Champions League defeat at Inter Milan in midweek, while "The Wolves" have all week to work on their game plan.
  • After 19 games unbeaten, Leipzig have slipped eight points behind leaders Bayern following a poor run of three games without a win.
  • Wolfsburg grabbed their first win at home last weekend, and also boast a decent away record with three wins under ex-Leipzig boss Ralph Hasenhüttl.
  • A draw is the play here, a result that's likely to please leaders Bayern Munich much more.
