VfL Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Bundesliga 2025-26

The Wolves will take on the Red Bulls on matchday 5 in the Bundesliga.

Things are not going as planned for VfL Wolfsburg so far this season. They will look to get a good result at home when they host RB Leipzig at the iconic Volkswagen Arena. Wolfsburg so far have played four Bundesliga matches, in which they have won once, drawn twice and lost once.

With five points on the table, they are placed in 12th position. Their performance has been inconsistent so far, but they will not be very much bothered about that. They do have quality players who can bring good results.

Last season, they lost both games against Leipzig; both were very closely contested fixtures. Paul Simonis and his boys will be determined to beat Leipzig on Saturday.

On the other hand, RB Leipzig, after suffering a heavy defeat against Bayern Munich, have performed really well. They have won all three games after that. In four league games, they have won three matches and lost once.

With nine points on the table, they are currently placed in third position. Despite being in good form, they will have to be fully focused and confident going into the fixture. Wolfsburg are very much capable of beating them.

Form

RB Leipzig (in all competitions): W-W-W-L-W

Players to Watch

Mohamed Amoura (VfL Wolfsburg)

Amoura is an advanced striker. A diminutive and pacey striker who likes to attempt off-the-ball runs to beat the defensive line and feels very comfortable in the counter-attacking style. A good dribbler who is also prolific when attacking from wide positions.

Amoura is a very agile player who can make things very difficult for the opposition defenders. He isn’t very strong in aerial duels, but is someone who can win ground duels very well. In four league games, so far, he has scored two goals.

Johan Bakayoko (RB Leipzig)

He is a winger who doesn’t just stay wide and wait. He combines in midfield, drops deep to receive, stretches play on the flank, and takes on defenders with confidence. His most notable strength is his effectiveness in attacking actions.

He is a robust player who is very brave on the ball and doesn’t lack confidence at all. In four league games, he has scored one goal so far.
