Wolverhampton Wanderers vs RB Leipzig Prediction and Betting Tips | August 4th 2024

Wolverhampton Wanderers and RB Leipzig square off in a thrilling pre-season friendly at the Chase Stadium on Sunday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with the Bundesliga side claiming an impressive victory over Aston Villa.

Wolverhampton Wanderers were denied back-to-back wins in pre-season on Thursday when they fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace in Annapolis.

Before that, Gary O'Neil’s men kicked off their pre-season fixtures with a comfortable 3-1 victory over West Ham United on July 28 courtesy of a first-half strike from Matheus Cunha and a brace from new signing Rodrigo Gomes.

Wolves will follow Sunday’s game with a clash against Spanish outfit Rayo Vallecano on August 10, seven days before visiting the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in a mouth-watering Premier League opener.

Leipzig, on the other hand, kicked off the pre-season schedule in style as they picked up a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa on Thursday.

In a game where Diego Carlos received an early bath, Andre Silva and Lois Openda scored first-half goals to hand the German outfit a comfortable victory.

Leipzig have come into pre-season off the back of a solid 2023-24 campaign as they finished fourth in the Bundesliga table to secure UEFA Champions League football for the sixth straight season.
