Prediction: 1-1
Wolfsburg
Red Bull Arena will be packed when Leipzig and Wolfsburg face each other in the DFB Pokal quarter-final on Wednesday evening. The Red Bulls came from two goals behind to share the spoils with Heidenheim at the weekend, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Wolfsburg in the German Cup clash. It has to be noted, though, that all Benjamin Henrichs, Antonio Nusa, Assan Ouedraogo, and Xaver Schlager are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The Wolves, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Bochum in Bundesliga round 23. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Red Bull Arena as Wolfsburg and Leipzig seem to be evenly matched at the moment. All Maximilian Arnold, Kamil Grabara, Lovro Majer, and Lukas Nmecha are out of contention with injuries for the away team, while midfielder Yannick Gerhard should be recalled to the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Willi Orban):
Willi Orban was born on 3 November, 1992 in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Orban plays as a centre back, but he can operate as a defensive midfielder as well. The 185-cm-tall footballer is a product of Kaiserslautern’s youth academy and he played 35 league games for the reserve team between 2011 and 2013.
Orban made his debut for the first team in 2011, against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. 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.
