Bayern Munich – Wolfsburg

The opponents will not score more than four goals in a head-to-head encounter

At one point in the German league, it looked like Bayern had regained the total dominance in the Bundesliga that they lost last season. This was favoured by the stability of the Munich club itself and a severe drop in playing form, first of all Bayer Leverkusen, and secondly Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund. However, at the end of 2024, the reigning German champions have returned to a state that strongly resembles their playing form from last season. "Pharmacists" issued a long winning streak and began to "prop up" Bayern in the standings. Wolfsburg will soon reach the full three decades of uninterrupted participation in the Bundesliga. During this period, the club won the elite division once, and also repeatedly represented Germany in the Champions League and minor European tournaments. In recent years, the "wolves" occupy a position in the middle of the standings, so they do not compete with the aforementioned group of title contenders. Bookmakers have identified the home team as clear favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.18 on their victory. Bayern are in first place in the championship, having a four-point advantage over Bayer. This advantage was more significant in the autumn, but during the period when the Munich club lost five points in meetings with Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund, the Leverkusen team only won. Bayern started the new year with the defeat of Salzburg in a friendly, continued - victories in the championship over Borussia Gladbach and Hoffenheim with the score 0:1 and 0:5 respectively. Wolfsburg in the last match of 2024 became the first Bundesliga club to lose at home to Borussia Dortmund this season. After the winter break, Hasenhuttl's charges made amends by beating Hoffenheim and Borussia Gladbach - the same clubs that faced Bayern in January. Wolfsburg's first rivalry with a Munich club this season was at the end of August last year. Back then, Bayern defeated their opponent away with a score of 3-2. Only in one season out of the previous five, these teams have played with more than three goals in both championship meetings. Three days after the meeting in Munich, Bayern play in the Netherlands against Feyenoord. The hosts will play in a restrained rhythm, there will not be too many goals in the match.
