Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig prediction: Expect margins to be slim
Key Stats
- Wolfsburg failed to score in each of their last three Bundesliga fixtures while RB Leipzig failed to register in each of their last four away league assignments.
- Four of Wolfsburg’s last five home matches in the league have featured under 2.5 goals.
- RB Leipzig have failed to win 90% of their last ten away games in the Bundesliga.
- Five players were carded when RB Leipzig and Wolfsburg last met in February.
Correct score prediction: Wolfsburg 0-0 RB Leipzig
Wolfsburg failed to score in each of their last three league matches while RB Leipzig fired blanks in each of their last four tussles on the road, so expect goalmouth action to be scarce on Friday.
Pre-game odds and win probability: RB Leipzig are slight favourites
- HOME: 9/5 (2.80) – 35.7%
- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
- AWAY: 7/5 (2.40) – 41.7%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Wolfsburg lost 1-0 for the third successive league fixture when they were beaten by Union Berlin last time out and Die Wolfe have just a 35.7% chance of snapping that run on Friday.
RB Leipzig meanwhile, beat ten-man Hoffenheim 3-1 last weekend, though the 7/5 favourites have been struggling on the road this term. View more of our latest football predictions and analysis on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Ridle Baku
Friday’s game will be a fixture of significance for Ridle Baku who joined RB Leipzig from Wolfsburg in January and the versatile 27-year-old will be keen to perform against his former employers this week.

Baku building confidence
Baku has struggled to get going for Die Roten Bullen so far, though the attacking midfielder scored his first goal for the club in Leipzig’s win over Hoffenheim last weekend, so he should be able to approach Friday’s game with renewed confidence.
