• Fixture: VfL Wolfsburg vs. RB Leipzig
• Date: Friday, April 11, 2025
• Venue: Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg

Match Preview

This Bundesliga clash pits VfL Wolfsburg against RB Leipzig in a critical Matchday 29 encounter. Wolfsburg, currently 12th in the table with 38 points, are seeking to end a three-match losing streak and improve their lackluster home form. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig sit fifth with 45 points and are eyeing a European qualification spot. Both teams are under pressure to deliver as the season nears its climax.

Wolfsburg’s recent form has been troubling. They suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Union Berlin in their last outing, marking their third consecutive loss without scoring a goal. In contrast, Leipzig come into this match on the back of a morale-boosting 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim, which ended their own winless streak. However, Leipzig’s away form has been inconsistent, having lost three of their last six road games.

The reverse fixture earlier this season saw Leipzig demolish Wolfsburg 5-1 at the Red Bull Arena. However, Wolfsburg’s home record against Leipzig has been more competitive historically, with the hosts winning three of the last five meetings at Volkswagen Arena. This sets the stage for an intriguing battle between two teams desperate to assert themselves.

Team News

Wolfsburg
The hosts will rely heavily on Mohamed El Amine Amoura, who has been their standout performer with 10 goals and seven assists this season. Jonas Wind (8 goals) and Tiago Tomas (6 goals) also provide attacking options. However, Wolfsburg’s defensive frailties have been exposed in recent weeks, and they’ll need to tighten up against Leipzig’s potent attack.

RB Leipzig
Leipzig are dealing with several injury concerns. Key players like Benjamin Henrichs, Xaver Schlager, and Yussuf Poulsen remain sidelined. Captain Willi Orban is suspended for this match, further weakening their defense. Despite these setbacks, Benjamin Sesko (11 goals) and Lois Openda (8 goals) remain dangerous threats upfront. Xavi Simons adds creativity with seven goals and four assists this season.

Key Players

• Wolfsburg:
  • Mohamed El Amine Amoura: The Algerian forward is Wolfsburg’s top scorer and creator this season.
  • Jonas Wind: A reliable finisher who can exploit Leipzig’s defensive absences.
• RB Leipzig:
  • Benjamin Sesko: The Slovenian striker is in fine form after scoring in the win over Hoffenheim.
  • Lois Openda: A versatile forward capable of creating and finishing chances.

Prediction

Given Wolfsburg’s poor form and Leipzig’s momentum from their recent win, the visitors are slight favorites. However, Leipzig’s defensive injuries and suspensions could make this a closer contest than expected. A narrow victory for Leipzig seems likely.

Predicted Scoreline: Wolfsburg 1-2 RB Leipzig
