Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Leipzig will be looking to recover from the Champions League loss to Inter when they face Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga round 12. The Red Bulls have been struggling in the elite competitions this term, losing each of their five games of the process, but they are sitting in third place in the Bundesliga standings ahead of Saturday’s clash. Even though all Raum, Simons, Elmas, Poulsen, Bitshiabu, and Klostermann remain in the recovery room, home win should be considered as Leipzig have turned their Red Bull Arena into a real fortress.
The Wolves, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Heidenheim and Union Berlin. Wolfsburg aim to keep on climbing the standings, but given their three-game losing run at Red Bull Arena, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Marco Rose’s troops. Speaking of the visiting team, all Kaminski, Majer, Bialek, Paredes, Klinger, and Rogerio miss out with injuries.

The Kaiserslautern footballer made 68 league appearances for Kaiserslautern, scoring 7 goals for the German outfit between 2011 and 2015, but in May 2015 he signed a contract with Leipzig.

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.
