Team News

RBL
Wolfsburg
  • Rotation may be the order of the day after the dreadful cup final defeat against Borussia Dortmund.
  • Angeliño was left out of the cup final and may return to the squad.
  • Captain Marcel Sabitzer should be available along with striker Yussuf Poulsen.
  • Hwang Hee-Chan is over an ankle injury as is Justin Kluivert.
  • Christopher Nkunku and Tyler Adams should return, but Lazar Samardzic has a knee injury.
  • January signing Dominik Szoboszlai has adductor problems and has still not played his first game for the club.
  • Konrad Laimer is also on the verge of a return from a knee injury.
  • Kevin Mbabu and Paulo Otavio are both available after suspension.
  • Bartosz Bialek has suffered an ACL injury and is out until the Autumn at the earliest.
  • Key defender Maxence Lacroix is over a muscle injury, while Josuha Guilavogui cannot shake off adductor issues.
  • Admir Mehmedi has a minor calf niggle, while Renato Steffen is ruled out "long-term" with an ankle injury.

Prediction

  • RB Leipzig flattered to deceive in the DFB Pokal Final on Thursday and will no doubt be a bit leggy after back-to-back games against Borussia Dortmund.
  • Julian Nagelsmann continues his farewell tour and the alleged "Wundertrainer" has still never won any silverware in professional football, just like his current club RB Leipzig. Never mind Julian a few bits of silverware are surely guaranteed at next club Bayern Munich.
  • This constitutes a massive fixture in the context of a top four finish for third-placed Wolfsburg who are two points ahead of Borussia Dortmund and three points ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt with a better goal difference.
  • RB Leipzig's title hopes are over but at least are assured of Champions League football next season. Péter Gulácsi has a league-best 15 clean sheets, while Koen Casteels has 14 himself so goals might be in short supply.
  • Wolfsburg have nine draws and that could be the solution here again with honours shared.
