📰 Team News: VfL Wolfsburg

VfL Wolfsburg boss Ralph Hasenhüttl has not got a full squad to pick from. Jakub Kaminski (Muscle strain), Aster Vranckx (muscular problems), Niklas Klinger (Wrist injury), Bartosz Bialek (Knee injury), Lovro Majer (Torn muscle fiber), Kevin Paredes (Foot injury) and Rogério (Knee surgery) are those who can’t be considered.

It’s our belief that Wolfsburg seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, 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.

🔮 Prediction

We envisage that RB Leipzig will, in all likelihood, dominate possession and create several successful chances.

However, VfL Wolfsburg could well struggle to find the back of the net although we do see them scoring.

We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 3-1 winning margin for RB Leipzig come full-time.
