ℹ️ Team News: VfL Wolfsburg
Kevin Paredes (Foot surgery), Jesper Lindstrøm (Adductor injury), Andreas Skov Olsen (Knee problems), Rogério (muscular problems) and Denis Vavro (Adductor injury) are unavailable for VfL Wolfsburg manager Paul Simonis.
We think that Wolfsburg will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this game with Kamil Grabara, Kilian Fischer, Moritz Jenz, K. Koulierakis, Joakim Maehle, Maximilian Arnold, Vini Souza, Adam Daghim, Lovro Majer, Patrick Wimmer and Mohamed Amoura.
📋 Team News: RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig manager Ole Werner has some current player fitness concerns. Benjamin Henrichs (Achilles tendon rupture), Kosta Nedeljkovic (Knee injury), Max Finkgräfe (Inner ligament injury), Amadou Haidara (muscular problems) and Xaver Schlager (Fitness) will miss out on this game.
We believe Leipzig will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Peter Gulacsi, Ridle Baku, Willi Orban, Castello Lukeba, David Raum, F. Assan Ouedraogo, Nicolas Seiwald, Johan Bakayoko, C. Baumgartner, Antonio Nusa and Romulo Cruz.
🧠 Prediction
We’re of the view that RB Leipzig and VfL Wolfsburg should be able to score more than one goal each in what is shaping up to be a fairly even contest.
We’ll see, but this looks like it could end up all-square with both teams likely to score. That’s why our selection here is for a very competitive game with a score draw when all is said and done.
