LiontipsLeipzig vs Wolfsburg. Prediction (odds 2.18) and bets on the Bundesliga match
Command Analysis
Current form
Leipzig, largely due to their reliable defense, successfully played the opening period of the season in the Bundesliga, but then a serious decline set in. The "bulls" have not won for three rounds in a row, during this period they lost to Borussia Dortmund (1:2) and Hoffenheim (3:4), and also drew with Borussia Mönchengladbach (0:0). As a result, the team lost second place to Eintracht in the standings. In addition, Marco Rose charges are failing in their performance in the Champions League. Five rounds are behind them, in which they failed to score a single point. The chances of making the playoffs are now practically only theoretical. This week, Leipzig lost away to Inter with a minimal score of 0:1, showed nothing in attack - only one shot on target.
Disqualifications and injuries
In many ways, the reasons for Leipzig failures are connected to the huge losses in the squad. The following players will not play today due to injuries: Bitshiabu, Klosterman, Raum, Schlager, Elmas, Simons, Poulsen.
Interesting trends for betting
- Leipzig have not won in the first half in four of their last five matches
- Leipzig are unbeaten in their last 12 home matches in the Bundesliga
Tentative line-up: Gulacsi - Gertruyda, Orban, Lukeba, Henrichs - Baumgartner, Kampl, Vermeeren, Nusa - Openda, Sheshko.
Current form
Wolfsburg have earned 15 points in 11 rounds played and have secured their place as a solid mid-table Bundesliga team. After a less than confident start, the Wolves have improved significantly and are approaching the upcoming game on a four-match unbeaten streak. Moreover, in the two previous matches, Ralph Hasenhüttl men beat Heidenheim (3:1) and Union (1:0). It should be noted that Wolfsburg is among the top 3 best away teams in the Bundesliga with 10 points earned, and only one defeat occurred in five matches played at other stadiums.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Klinger, Rogerio, Borno, Kaminski, Vrankx, Paredes, and Meyer will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- In seven of Wolfsburg previous nine Bundesliga matches, both teams have scored goals
- Wolfsburg have opened the scoring in six of their last eight league games
Estimated line-up: Grabara – Fischer, Vavro, Koulierakis, Mele – Arnold, Dardai – Baku, Wimmer, Amura – Tomas.

7.40Tip and bets
Leipzig are in a significant slump and it is hard to expect today that they will be able to break the losing streak. The Bulls have a difficult Champions League match behind them this week, the list of injured players is not getting any smaller, Marco Rose has no opportunities to rotate the squad. Wolfsburg has clearly improved their game, has not lost in four rounds in a row and can very well count on at least one point today.
Our prediction is Wolfsburg will not lose at odds of 2.18
Bet on total
Leipzig defense has been failing regularly, unlike the opening period of the season, and it unlikely that they'll be able to keep a clean sheet against an opponent who picked up good momentum today. At the same time, the "bulls" are always dangerous on their home field and are capable of scoring a goal.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.65
Bet on the first half
Wolfsburg usually plays the opening stages very carefully and does not take unnecessary risks. It is no coincidence that three of the last five matches of the Wolves ended in a draw with an exact score of 0:0 in the first half. We think that today all the main events on the field will unfold after the break.
Forecast - draw in the first half with odds of 2.55
