Leipzig hoping to extend a six-game unbeaten run.
In a clash of form and survival, RB Leipzig aim to extend their unbeaten run and secure a place in the top-four, while Wolfsburg struggle to steer clear of relegation woes at the Red Bull Arena this Saturday.
RB Leipzig
Leipzig climbed to 4th place on the Bundesliga table with 53 points [16W, 5D, & 7L] following a comfortable 4-1 victory over Freiburg last Saturday. Goals from Amadou Haidara [2'], Loïs Openda [18', 44'], and Benjamin Šeško [54'] paved the way for the win, their fourth in five games [WWWDW].
The hosts are now looking to stretch their unbeaten run to six matches when they host Wolfsburg on Saturday. Furthermore, the Red Bulls have an opportunity to equal their club record five-match unbeaten run without conceding on home soil, having kept shutouts in their last four games at the Red Bull Arena [3W, 1D, 0L].
They have never lost in eight home matches against Wolfsburg [6W, 2D, 0L], conceding just four goals in those games. However, Marco Rose will hope his side can halt their two-game losing run against Die Wölfe, having suffered consecutive defeats to the visitors this season in the league and DFB-Pokal.
A 4-4-2 formation with Openda, who is third on the Bundesliga scorer's chart [21 goals], and Šeško were lined up last time out and are expected on Saturday against Wolfsburg. Yussuf Poulsen is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while David Raum is suspended for one game due to an excessive number of yellow cards.
VfL Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg are in 14th place on the Bundesliga table with 28 points (7W, 7D, 14L), their joint second-worst record at this stage of a Bundesliga season. They had only earned fewer points in 2017-18 with 26. The recent 3-1 loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach at the Volkswagen Arena marred Ralph Hasenhüttl's home debut as Wolfsburg's manager, marking the club’s fourth defeat in five matches (LLLWL).
Die Wölfe are just six points above the relegation zone and will head into Saturday's match with Leipzig hoping to pick up valuable points. This is crucial for their bid to increase their chances of playing top-flight football next season. However, Wolfsburg have won just one of their last 13 Bundesliga matches (1W, 6D, 6L), with that win coming in their last away game.
Wolfsburg have picked up nine of their last 12 points on the road and are hoping to earn consecutive away wins on Saturday. Hasenhüttl could stick to the 4-4-2 formation he used against Mönchengladbach, with Jonas Wind and Tiago Tomás in attack for this trip to Leipzig. Maxence Lacroix is suspended, while Koen Casteels (shoulder) and Lukas Nmecha (muscle) are both sidelined.
