THE PREDICTION
RB Leipzig suffered only their second Bundesliga defeat of the season at home to Borussia Dortmund last Saturday, but they have never lost twice in a row under Julian Nagelsmann. Avoiding defeat at the Volkswagen Arena is not an easy task, though, as Wolfsburg are one of three teams yet to lose at home in the Bundesliga this season, winning their last five. Seven of the eight meetings between these two sides in the top flight have produced under 2.5 goals, and with Leipzig boasting the best defence in the division and the Wolves the third-best, that trend looks likely to continue and another tight, low-scoring contest can be expected.
