VfL Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig have played VfL Wolfsburg more often than they have any other club in professional football (24 times). RBL have recorded 12 wins to date (D5, L7) – they haven’t beaten any side more often at professional level. However, the reverse fixture saw Leipzig suffer their joint-heaviest defeat of 2024/25 (5-1 H), though they got their revenge in the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal with a 1-0 win at home.

RB Leipzig have won two of their last three Bundesliga games (L1) – as many victories as they picked up in their previous 11 league fixtures combined. However, the Red Bulls are without a win in their last seven Bundesliga away matches (D4, L3), their longest wait since between May and October 2022 (8 matches). This is also the longest ongoing wait for an away win for any current Bundesliga club.

VfL Wolfsburg have suffered three straight defeats without scoring in the Bundesliga, something that last happened to them in 2012 (4 games in a row). Additionally, no other top-flight side is currently on a longer losing streak than VfL (3 games), while only SC Freiburg are on a longer winless run (5 games) than the Wolves’ four-game drought.

VfL Wolfsburg have won just two of their 11 games in the second half of this season (D5, L4) – only Kiel have fewer victories (1). Additionally, only Heidenheim (9) have scored fewer goals during this period than the Wolves (11). Wolfsburg haven’t won any of their five home games since the midway mark (D4, L1) – of current Bundesliga teams, only Hoffenheim (8 games) have been waiting longer for a home win than VfL (5).

VfL Wolfsburg are winless in their last five Bundesliga games on a Friday (D2, L3), whereas RB Leipzig are unbeaten in their last four (W2, D2). Overall, RBL have lost just two of their 23 top-flight fixtures on a Friday, winning 15 of them (D6).
