RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting Tips (13 April)

Completely left behind in the title race, Leipzig must above all focus on saving the furniture by finishing in the top 4 of this Bundesliga in order to secure a place for the next Champions League. Fortunately for him, RasenBall Sport is on the rise at the end of the season as evidenced by its 4 victories over the last 5 days. If they had been held in check by Mainz on the return from the international break during a meeting which they had nevertheless outrageously dominated 0-0, Marco Rose's men experienced much more success last weekend by going winning at Friborg 1-4. Thanks to this success, the Red Bulls were able to move into the top 4 to the detriment of Borussia Dortmund who have a lower goal difference. Opposite, Wolfsburg continues to disappoint.

Worse still, the next few weeks could prove decisive for this team which has collected poor performances in 2024 and which has seen the jump-off return to only 5 units in the ranking. Now 14th in this championship, the WfL players have only won one victory since the winter break, against Werder Bremen 0-2 for the first on the bench of Ralph Hasenhüttl who replaced Niko Kovac. But this little improvement was short-lived and the Wolves immediately plunged again, losing at home against Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend 1-3.

This will also be the case for German international full-back Raum who is suspended this weekend. Otherwise, Marco Rose can count on the main executives of his squad, starting with the Belgian striker Openda who scored his 20 and 21st goals of the season in the league last weekend. The Dutchman Xavi Simons (7 goals and 9 assists), the Slovenian Sesko (8 goals) and the Spaniard Dani Olmo (3 goals, 5 assists) could also start this match. Once again injured, the talented striker Lukas Nmecha is still missing to the call in the same capacity as the titular goalkeeper Casteels.

On the other hand, the new coach of this team recovers the important Zesiger who was suspended against Gladbach but not the French defender Lacroix who must serve a second match. Dazzling during the first part of the season with 9 goals scored, Danish striker Wind has, however, still not scored in 2024. The former Rennais Majer (5 goals) should also be available.
