Leipzig vs Wolfsburg: confirmed lineups & free LIVE stream

The DFB-Pokal quarter-final match between RB Leipzig and Wolfsburg is drawing significant attention due to the recent struggles of both teams. RB Leipzig, currently managed by Marco Rose, finds itself under increasing pressure following a string of disappointing results in the Bundesliga, with only one victory in their last seven matches . This context sets the stage for a crucial encounter as both teams seek to redeem themselves and advance in the tournament.

RB Leipzig midfielder Christoph Baumgartner is ill and doubtful for the German Cup quarter-finals match against VfL Wolfsburg on Wednesday, the Bundesliga club said on X a day before the match.

The player had fever after the 2-2 draw with Heidenheim on Sunday. Yussuf Poulsen, meanwhile, is still not available due to muscular issues. He could return at the weekend against Mainz, the club said.
