Yes, that's for sure, however they will maximize their performance and play to be able to get full points in the match, plus on the other hand their point difference with Dortmund is very thin, and if they don't manage to get a win or even just get a draw, it is likely that Dortmund will be able to shift them in fourth place in the standings. So no matter how Leipzig must still be able to get the full three points in that match, there is no other reason to waste the opportunity.

I think Leipzig's performance this season is still quite good, they can stagnate to maintain consistency in the top five area of the standings, like last season when they managed to finish in the top three of the standings, and that means however they have to be able to perform better this season, they are already in the top five of the standings and only need to further improve their performance and also maintain consistency in order to overtake the position of VfB and Bayern Munich. I don't think they will have too much trouble in the match against Wolfsburg, because obviously the difference in performance between the two teams is quite far, Wolfsburg is still in the unsafe zone because of their poor performance. So maybe I will only bet on Leipzig which is more convincing.

I'm not even worried about Dortmund performance until the end of the season because we have seen that they always manage to close the season in the top 4. Leipzig did manage to get into the top 4 in the previous week, but if they fail to maintain their best form then Dortmund will again shift their ranking in the upcoming match. This season has only been running for 11 matches and there are many matches left in the this season, in fact Dortmund still has the opportunity to disrupt other teams in the race for the title as they did in the previous season.

Dortmund is a team that has always been a strong candidate in the Bundesliga for several seasons, as you said that they can always secure at least in the top five area of the standings, therefore as I have said before that however Leipzig must be able to win the match against Wolfsburg at any cost, because obviously they have to be able to at least a little away from Dortmund's pursuit in the top five, basically Dortmund are really fighting for their performance to continue to be able to crawl up, because position five is not a safe area for them, so of course if Leipzig fail in that match then indirectly they have made it easier for Dortmund to catch up.

In the upcoming match, Leipzig will travel to the VW Arena stadium to face Wolfsburg. Statistically, the meeting between the two in the last 5 matches where Leipzig was unable to beat Wolfsburg at the VW Arena stadium, which means this will be the toughest match for Leipzig in maintaining the top 4 ranking. Well, Dortmund will face Mönchengladbach next week, of course they want to get back to their winning ways and this is the right time for them to do it. I think next week these teams will change places again and it is very likely that Dortmund will return to the top 4.

Yes, despite the fact that Leipzig are far above Wolfsburg in terms of statistics, basically that does not mean it is impossible for Leipzig not to experience bad things, the fact is that anything can happen on the field, like those who in the previous few matches lost to Wolfsburg. If we reflect on the previous matches of these two teams then yes it is very possible for some people to have doubts, but I think it looks like the bad results will not be repeated again for Leipzig, a lot of pressure that tells them to win and crawl up away from Dortmund's pursuit. Yes on the other hand soon Dortmund will play Mönchengladbach, I think it's an easy match for them to get the full three points. And if Leipzig fail and Dortmund manage to win against Mönchengladbach then clearly a shift in position is likely to occur for Leipzig.
