RB Leipzig are part of an intense battle to finish in the top four in the Bundesliga, and anything other than three points on Sunday against visitors Wolfsburg at Red Bull Arena would damage their chances of securing Champions League football.
Die Roten Bullen are in fourth place with 39 points, but just six points separate third from sixth, whereas their opponents are fourth last in 15th place with just 19 points following their 2-1 defeat against Borussia Dortmund on February 7.

RB Leipzig preview: Concerning form of late
Leipzig come into the weekend's clash having lost two, drawn one and won one of their last four games, while they have also lost three of their past four at home.
Left-back David Raum is sidelined due to injury, and his absence means fans should expect to see Max Finkgrafe in the starting XI.
Predicted lineup: Gulacsi (GK), Baku, Orban, Lukeba, Finkgrafe, Gruda, Seiwald, Baumgartner, Diomande, Romulo & Nusa
Last five results:
- 11/02/26: Bayern Munich 2-0 RB Leipzig (DFB-Pokal)

Wolfsburg preview: Fearful of relegation
Wolfsburg are level on points with 16th-placed Werder Bremen, who occupy the division's relegation playoff spot, and they have succumbed to defeat in their three most recent matches.

Player to watch: Yan Diomande
RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande has been linked with a move to a number of elite European teams this summer, with his ability to threaten in behind opposition defences a standout trait.
The winger is also an excellent dribbler in small spaces, and he has scored one goal and provided two assists in his last five games in all competitions.
