Leipzig vs Wolfsburg Prediction 15 February 2026
🔊 The final match of the 22nd round will take place at the Red Bull Arena as Leipzig host Wolfsburg. The hosts have been knocked out of the DFB-Pokal and, over the next three and a half months, will focus solely on securing a Champions League spot. The visitors, meanwhile, are merely hoping to retain their place in the Bundesliga. However, following this upcoming game, the situation for the Wolves could only worsen.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the first round at the Volkswagen Arena, Leipzig clinched victory with a goal from Johan Bakayoko (1-0). The Red Bulls have secured 9 wins in 19 Bundesliga matches against the Wolves, alongside 5 draws and 5 losses.

Leipzig Team Overview
🔴 After a draw with St. Pauli (1-1) and a defeat to Mainz (1-2), Leipzig secured a victory in Cologne (2-1) thanks to a brace from Christoph Baumgartner. Baumgartner's eight goals in the Bundesliga mark a new personal best for the Austrian in a single season. With this result, Ole Werner's side climbed back to fourth place, surpassing Stuttgart on goal difference.
⚪ By Wednesday, the club traveled to Munich, where Leipzig's dream of a third German Cup fell apart: they were defeated by Bayern (0-2) in the quarterfinals. Now, the "Red Bulls" are focused solely on the Bundesliga and the battle to return to European competitions next season.

Wolfsburg Team Overview
🟢 Despite a commendable performance against Dortmund's Borussia in the last round at the Volkswagen Arena, Daniel Bauer's men suffered another frustrating defeat (1-2). Konstantinos Koulierakis leveled the score after the break, but with just three minutes left, the Wolves once again left a gap in their defense.
⚪ Wolfsburg, winless in their last four matches, could find themselves in the relegation zone if they don't secure a positive result this weekend. Currently, the Lower Saxony club sit 15th, level on points with 16th-placed Werder Bremen-both with 19 points-but boasting a superior goal difference.

Leipzig
🎙️ Ole Werner on the upcoming match: "Wolfsburg are very experienced, especially in key positions. They have a strong presence in midfield, execute set pieces well, and push for success in the final third with a quick tempo. I see their coach having a clear vision of football. You must always anticipate that your opponent will play their best match. We won't be handed anything on a silver platter. It's primarily about us being 100 percent ready. We want to bring positive energy onto the field in our home game. Then we'll have a good chance to beat Wolfsburg."
❌ The Red Bulls' captain David Raum will miss the 22nd round match due to accumulating five yellow cards during the season. Newcomer Ayodele Thomas trained individually this week and will miss the clash with Wolfsburg due to muscle issues. Suleman Sani has been sidelined for several weeks with ligament damage in his right ankle. Assan Ouedraogo (knee tendon injury) and Viggo Goebel (cruciate ligament rupture) continue their recovery at the rehabilitation center.
Wolfsburg
🎙️ Daniel Bauer after the defeat to Borussia: "I believe Dortmund's winning goal, executed with high quality and composure, was crucial. That level of efficiency was something we sorely lacked today. The guys put up a real fight and showed a strong second half. The first half was tough for us as well; at times, we lost possession too easily. However, we did have a one-on-one situation that we needed to capitalize on. The second half was outstanding-we really managed to play our football. Unfortunately, we made too many clear mistakes. So, of course, we're heading home very disappointed today."
❌ Clayton, Bence Dardai, Joakim Maehle, Rogerio, Jenson Seelt, and Jonas Wind are still recovering. Kilian Fischer, Vinicius Souza, Patrick Wimmer, and Sael Kambedi might be included in the matchday squad.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Matthias Jollenbeck is appointed as the main referee for the match at the Red Bull Arena. His average for yellow cards over the last 10 matches stands at 3.1. Leipzig's average yellow card total over 21 rounds is 1.4, while Wolfsburg's is 1.9. We opt for over 3.5 total yellow cards, a mark that was surpassed in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Wolfsburg have struggled to score more than one goal in 5 of their last 6 matches. We are predicting under 3.5 total goals, a scenario that played out in five consecutive Leipzig games.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The average number of corners for the "Red Bulls" is 5.3, while the "Wolves" average just 3.8, the lowest in the league. We choose under 10.5 total corners, a result that occurred in 10 of Ole Werner's team's last 11 matches.
Editor's Prediction
This season, Wolfsburg have lost all eight matches against teams currently in the top seven. Additionally, Leipzig have a strong record, remaining unbeaten in their last 12 Sunday fixtures, winning 10 of those.
Despite losing two home games in 2026, we predict a Leipzig victory this Sunday, as they have in their last three head-to-head encounters with Wolfsburg. The Wolves desperately need points in their survival battle, but we don't expect them to score more than one goal. A likely scoreline is 2-1.
