VfL Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig Preview

VfL Wolfsburg, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The hosts were held to a 0-0 stalemate at the hands of FC Schalke 04 in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
