Match Prediction: RB Leipzig vs. Wolfsburg
The first round of the 2024/25 Bundesliga against Wolfsburg was a nightmare for Marco Rose's men, losing 1-5. The desire for revenge will serve as additional motivation for RB Leipzig. Even without extra factors, the team shows excellent results at home.
RB Leipzig boasts an impressive streak of 12 home victories in the national cup. During this period, the club defeated their upcoming opponent twice. Home matches against Wolfsburg have generally been favorable: the aforementioned defeat is the only loss in their last 10 official meetings (7 wins, 2 draws).
Wolfsburg regularly achieves away victories in the national cup, but their opponents often come from lower divisions. The last time the club defeated a Bundesliga representative away in this tournament was in 2018.
My prediction: Victory for RB Leipzig
