RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg Prediction 15.02.2026 | Bundesliga

RB Leipzig returned to winning ways in the Bundesliga last weekend, as a brace from Christoph Baumgartner secured a crucial 2-1 away victory over FC Koln, a result that lifted them back into the final Champions League qualification spot.

However, Marco Rose’s men must quickly shake off the disappointment of their midweek setback after being eliminated from the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals by the relentless Bayern Munich, a defeat that brought an abrupt end to their domestic cup ambitions this season.

Despite the fact that the Red Bull Arena has traditionally served as a fortress and a major source of points for the Saxony-based side, Rose will be concerned by his team’s puzzling dip in home consistency. Leipzig have suffered defeat in three of their last four Bundesliga matches in front of their own supporters, raising questions about their reliability on familiar ground.

In terms of team news, highly rated 19-year-old midfielder Assan Ouedraogo remains sidelined for at least another month with a knee injury, while left-back David Raum will miss the clash with Koln due to suspension following an accumulation of yellow cards.

In stark contrast to their hosts, VfL Wolfsburg head into their demanding trip to Saxony locked in a tense relegation battle, currently languishing in 15th place and sitting just two points above the automatic drop zone. The pressure is mounting as the club fights to steer clear of dangerous territory.

Their worrying slide toward the bottom has been fueled by a string of demoralizing results in recent weeks. The Wolves suffered a third consecutive Bundesliga defeat last weekend, falling to Borussia Dortmund, a setback that also extended their alarming run without a clean sheet to 10 straight matches.

Matters appear even more concerning away from the familiar surroundings of Volkswagen Arena. Wolfsburg have ended up on the wrong side of the scoreline in each of their last three away fixtures, a troubling trend made worse by their struggles in front of goal — having failed to score in four of their previous five visits to Red Bull Arena Leipzig.

Compounding their survival fight are significant squad issues, with head coach Daniel Bauer facing a major selection headache. Six players are already confirmed absentees, while Jenson Seelt and Patrick Wimmer remain doubts due to minor fitness concerns, further weakening a side already under immense pressure.
