Wolfsburg will invite RB Leipzig to Volkswagen Arena in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The hosts have won just one of their four league games and trail Leipzig by four points, who have registered three wins.
Die Wölfe are winless in their last three league games and suffered a 1-0 away loss to Borussia Dortmund in their previous outing. They failed to score for the first time in the league in that loss and will look to bounce back here.
The visitors made it three wins in a row in their previous outing, recording a 3-1 home triumph over Koln. Assan Ouédraogo broke the deadlock in the 13th minute, and Jan Thielmann pulled Koln level 10 minutes later. Goals in quick succession from Rômulo Cardoso and David Raum before the half-time break helped them take a two-goal lead.

Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig Prediction
Die Weißgrünen suffered their first defeat of the league campaign last week and will look to improve upon that record here. Notably, they have lost two of their last three home meetings against Leipzig, conceding seven goals.
Denis Vavro, Kevin Paredes, Rogério, and Jesper Lindstrøm remain sidelined with injuries. Andreas Skov Olsen was injured against Dortmund and will sit this one out. Christian Eriksen will likely make another appearance from the bench.
The Red Bulls had suffered a crushing 6-0 loss to Bayern Munich in their campaign opener, but they have bounced back well, recording three consecutive wins.
Xaver Schlager, Amadou Haidara, and Benjamin Henrichs are confirmed absentees for the visitors. Lukas Klostermann faces a late fitness test, while Max Finkgräfe and Kosta Nedeljković are not yet fully fit.
Considering the visitors' upturn in form and Die Wölfe's recent Bundesliga home record, we back Leipzig to eke out a narrow win.
