Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips (27 September)

Wolfsburg welcome RB Leipzig to the Volkswagen Arena in what promises to be a tightly contested Bundesliga clash between two unbeaten sides. Under new head coach Paul Simonis, Wolfsburg have shown early resilience, drawing their last two matches after an opening win against Heidenheim. The club recently celebrated its 80th anniversary with a dramatic 3-3 draw against Köln, where Maximilian Arnold’s long-range brilliance was overshadowed by a last-gasp equalizer. Simonis has injected fresh energy into the squad, bolstered by the arrival of Christian Eriksen, who joins a growing Danish contingent. Though Eriksen is unlikely to start, his presence adds depth to a midfield already featuring Lovro Majer and Arnold.

RB Leipzig, meanwhile, arrive with confidence after a commanding 4-0 win over Köln, showcasing their attacking prowess and defensive discipline. Head coach Julian Löw has leaned into Leipzig’s high-pressing identity, with Xavi Simons and Dani Olmo orchestrating play from midfield. The club is also reintegrating Timo Werner, who could offer a different dimension in attack if match-fit. Leipzig’s recent form includes a goalless draw against Mainz and a thrilling 3-3 stalemate with Freiburg, suggesting a team still fine-tuning its balance. Defensively, Peter Gulacsi remains a steady presence in goal, while David Raum’s contract extension signals long-term stability on the flanks.

In terms of personnel, Wolfsburg are nearly at full strength, with only Denis Vavro sidelined until December. Brazilian left-back Rogério and American winger Kevin Paredes are nearing returns, while Mohamed Amoura continues to impress up front. Leipzig, on the other hand, are managing squad rotation carefully, with Werner’s reintegration and Simons’ positional flexibility offering Löw tactical options. The midfield battle will be key, with Arnold and Majer likely to face off against Leipzig’s dynamic duo of Simons and Olmo. Set pieces could also prove decisive—Wolfsburg have conceded multiple goals from dead-ball situations this season.

Expect a cagey affair with moments of brilliance from both sides. Wolfsburg’s home advantage and recent fighting spirit suggest they won’t go quietly, while Leipzig’s attacking depth makes them a constant threat. With both teams capable of scoring and defending in equal measure, a 2-1 victory for Wolfsburg feels plausible—Arnold’s leadership and Amoura’s pace could tip the scales. Simonis will be eager to mark his early tenure with a statement win, and if Leipzig’s backline falters under pressure, the Wolves may just bite hardest.
