The biggest game in the DFB Pokal quarter finals will have Leipzig hosting Wolfsburg as the two sides in the Bundesliga top three go head to head at the Red Bull Arena. Both sides have impressive winning runs ahead of this game. Leipzig hit Bochum 4-0 to advance to this stage and they get here on a run of six wins in their last seven matches. They are not just contesting for this, but also the Bundesliga, being two points behind Bayern Munich, and are still in the Champions League. Ahead of this game, Leipzig came from two goals down to beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-2, scoring two or more goals for the fifth time in six matches. They have now failed to score in just two of their last 15 matches and carry three straight clean sheets in the DFB Pokal, having scored three or more in this competition. Yussuf Poulsen has a great run in the DFB Pokal; going to this game, he has four goals in the earlier three matches this season. These two sides have drawn in the last two meetings but in the last meeting in this competition, Leipzig whacked Wolfsburg 6-1.

Wolfsburg have a 10-game unbeaten run going to this game and being seven points behind Bayern in Bundesliga, they have this as their realest hope for silverware in the season. They have been impressive in attack, scoring twice or more in their last seven matches and backed it with good defence, keeping eight straight clean sheets. Wolfsburg hit Hertha Berlin 2-0 ahead of this game, scoring their seventh and eighth goals in five matches. With a run of four straight wins away from home, they’ll feel ready for this clash that features the two best defensive teams in the Bundesliga. The comfortable recent runs aside, these two sides are the lowest scoring among teams in the Bundesliga top five. To get here, Wolfsburg beat Schalke 1-0 for their fourth win in five DFB Pokal games and will be hoping to avoid another heavy loss to Leipzig in this competition.
