Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Leipzig will be aiming to extend their winning run to three games when they take on Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga round 20. The Red Bulls quickly bounced back from a shocking loss to Arminia Bielefeld, with the team keeping their Champions League hopes alive. Considering that important forward Dani Olmo has overcome his injury, punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the hosts. Both Amadou and Ilaix Moriba are on Africa Cup of Nations, while Forsberg, Halstenberg, and Szboszlai miss out with injuries.
The Wolves, on the other hand, are not enjoying a season to remember, with the team sitting just above the relegation zone. Given their dreadful winless run in the German top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Red Bulls. Renato Steffen serves a one-game ban, while all Lukas Nmecha, Paulo Otavio, Xaver Schlager, and William are out of contention 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. Kaislerslautern fans were very angry with the defender when he decided to join die Bullen.
Willi Orban has two caps for Germany U21, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team. He has a contract with Leipzig, which expires on 30 June, 2019. Willi Orban has a dual citizenship (Germany, Hungary).
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.
