Wolfsburg
Match Time & Date:

18:00
Prediction: 1-2
Leipzig
A place in the German Cup last 16 will be at stake when Wolfsburg and Leipzig, the two Bundesliga sides, take on each other at Volkswagen Arena on Tuesday evening. The Wolves suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches and given their difficulties at the back, home win should not be considered. To make things even worse for the home side, their injury list remains long, including the likes of Patrick Wimmer, Koen Casteels, Rogerio, Lukas Nmecha, Kilian Fischer, and Felix Lange.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun of late, with the team rolling over Koln 6-0 at the weekend and we predict that they will take advantage of Wolfsburg’s shaky defence as well. Last time out Leipzig crushed Wolfsburg 3-0 at Volkswagen Arena. Timo Werner has joined the likes of Dani Olmo, Kevin Kampl, and Willi Orban in the recovery room, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Yussuf Poulsen):
Yussuf Poulsen is a Danish footballer who started his youth career at BK Skjold. At the age of 14 he joined Lyngby and he made his debut for the first team on 4 December, 2011. He came as a substitute in a match against Horsens after 84 minutes, substituting Mathias Tauber. However, he made no more than five league appearances for Lyngby in the 2011/2012 season.
Despite the fact that Lyngby dropped to Denmark 1st Division, Poulsen did not leave the club in the summer transfer window and it has to be noted that he made 30 appearances for the Vikings in the 2012/2013 campaign. On 4 July, 2013 he signed a deal with Leipzig and he has been playing for the German outfit ever since.
The 193-cm-tall attacker is capable of playing as both right and left winger. Poulsen’s father is Tanzanian, but he decided to represent the Danish national team. He made his debut for the senior team against Albania on 11 October, 2014. Poulsen scored his first ever goal for Denmark in a 2-0 win over Serbia on June 13, 2015.
Highlighted Team (Wolfsburg):
Wolfsburg are a German football club founded in the aftermath of the World War II (1945). Die Wolfe (The Wolves) wear green and white shirts and they play their home games at Volkswagen Arena. The capacity of the stadium is 30,000 and it was opened on 13 December, 2002.
It is well known that German car manufacturer Volkswagen are the club’s main sponsors. Wolfsburg won the Bundesliga trophy in 2009 and the likes of Edin Dzeko, Grafite and Zvjezdan Misimovic were part of the club’s golden generation.
You should bear in mind that Grafite and Dzeko scored 54 goals between each other in the 2008/2009 Bundesliga campaign and that the team clinched the trophy thanks to a 5-1 win over Werder Bremen on 23 May, 2009. Die Wolfe won the German Cup trophy in 2015, with the team beating star-studded Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the title game. Wolfsburg are a team that has no bitter rivals in German football.
