Our Tipster’s Angle

 RB Leipzig have had a bright start to the season. Hence they find themselves so high up the table. Despite their disappointing performance against a resurgent Dortmund side, we expect Leipzig to bounce back and play at their best to get the win against Wolfsburg.

 Tip 1: RB Leipzig To Win

 RB Leipzig have been in flying form this season. RB Leipzig have won three out of their last five encounters and suffered only one loss. RB Leipzig possesses the best defense in Bundesliga that has conceded the least amount of goals, led by their center back Dayot Upamecano. Wolfsburg would find it difficult to breach this defense especially in the absence of their main creators Maximilian-Philipp and Maximilian Arnold. RB Leipzig also has a better head to head record against Wolfsburg in Bundesliga in recent times. Out of the last five competitive head-to-head matches, Leipzig has won thrice and the other two matches have ended up in a draw. So it looks likely that Leipzig will be victorious in this encounter at 2.00 odds available on the Casumo sportsbook.

 Tip 2: Total Goals Under 3

 These two teams have been part of low-scoring encounters in Bundesliga in recent times. Both the teams have only one match that has gone over three goals in their respective last five matches in Bundesliga. Apart from that, only one match had over three goals in the last seven head-to-head matches between the two teams. So there is every chance of this being a low scoring encounter and there being less than three goals scored in this match. The odds for under three goals are 1.62 odds available on the Casumo sportsbook.

 Conclusion

 RB Leipzig has to get back to winning ways after their loss to consider them as serious title contenders against Bayern. Wolfsburg on the other hand would like to build on their steady start in the league to meet their expectations of playing in Europe next season. Summarizing a couple of bets mentioned above.
