The Wolves welcome RB Leipzig to the Volkswagen Arena on Matchday 21 (18 February, 15:30 CET). Both teams are looking to make amends having faltered in recent weeks and suffered setbacks last time out. VfL could only draw 0-0 at Schalke, while RB were beaten 2-1 at home by Union Berlin. There’s one statistic that the Wolves can take heart from, though: they’re unbeaten in their last five home encounters with the Saxony side (W2 D3).
More facts and figures
- Switched clubs: RB recruited Xaver Schlager from Wolfsburg last summer. The Austrian made 69 Bundesliga appearances for VfL, scoring three goals.
- Bogey team: VfL have won just one of their last 11 competitive games against Leipzig.
- Back-to-back defeats without scoring: The Wolves have lost their last two Bundesliga matches against Leipzig for the first time and have also failed to score in back-to-back meetings for the first time (two 2-0 defeats away from home).
- Strong on the road: The visitors are unbeaten in their last six Bundesliga away matches, with three wins and three draws.
- Dip in form: The Green-and-Whites are winless in four in all competitions and are still waiting for their first victory of the second half of the season.
