As a result, Leipzig, who started the current Bundesliga season with a heavy 0-6 defeat to Bayern, managed to secure three consecutive victories – a streak the team hasn't achieved since last year.

Wolfsburg vs. Leipzig: Match Prediction
Wolfsburg has struggled to showcase their attacking prowess at home. In their last nine Bundesliga home matches, the team has exceeded one goal in only three games and failed to score in two. On the other hand, the club has conceded no more than one goal in six matches during this period.
Leipzig has not been prolific on the road: in their last nine away league games, the team has failed to score in seven. Even in their recent away victory against Cologne in the Bundesliga, the club managed just one goal. However, during this period, Leipzig has kept five clean sheets and conceded more than one goal in only three matches.
I do not expect a high-scoring game from these opponents. My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
