Coming into this fixture, RB Leipzig have not been beaten in their last 12 league matches at home. A run that they'll hope to extend here.
VfL Wolfsburg - LDWDWW
VfL Wolfsburg boss Ralph Hasenhüttl has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Kevin Paredes (Foot injury), Bartosz Bialek (Knee injury), Aster Vranckx (muscular problems), Jakub Kaminski (Muscle strain), Rogério (Knee surgery), Lovro Majer (Torn muscle fiber) and Niklas Klinger (Wrist injury) will miss out on this game.
We reckon that Wolfsburg appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Kamil Grabara, Kilian Fischer, Denis Vavro, K. Koulierakis, Joakim Maehle, Maximilian Arnold, Bence Dardai, Ridle Baku, Patrick Wimmer, Mohamed Amoura and Tiago Tomas.
