German Cup 2024-2025: Leipzig-Wolfsburg, the likely lineups

Lipsia-Wolfsburg, the probable formations

Leipzig and Wolfsburg face each other in the quarterfinal match of the German Cup. Kickoff at 8:45 p.m. at the Red Bull Arena. Rose’s team is aiming not only for qualification to the semifinals, but also for a rematch after the heavy defeat (5-1) suffered by Wolves last Nov. 30. A game that shook the team, which is now determined to redeem itself.

Leipzig will line up with a 4-4-2, with Vandevoordt in goal and a solid defense consisting of Raum, Lukeba, Orban and Baku. The midfield è dynamic, with Simons and Seiwald supporting Haidara and Kampl, while in attack Openda and Sesko are ready to create danger.

Wolfsburg opts for a 3-5-2, with Muller between the posts and a three-man defense with Fischer, Vavro and Koulierakis. In midfield, Maehle, Tomas, Svanberg, Vranckx and Wimmer form a compact and creative line, while Wind and Amoura are the forwards to try to break through the opponent’s defense.
