Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-05-11 15:30.
[p]Bayern Munich were minutes away from salvaging hope from a largely forgettable season in midweek, after they took the lead at the Santiago BernabĂ©u against Real Madrid in their UEFA Champions League semi-final second-leg, only for Real to come back with two late goals to break Bayern hearts and add fuel to the fire about talk of the âcurse of Harry Kaneâ. The England striker could only watch from the bench as his team imploded, prolonging his wait for a major honour in his career and rendering Bayern trophyless in a season for the first time since 2011/12.[/p]
[p]The similarities to that forgetful campaign donât end there, as it was the last time the Bavarians failed to capture the Bundesliga crown, while theyâve also lost seven league games in a campaign for the first time since that fruitless season. Their last league defeat was a 3-2 loss to their closest competitors Stuttgart, meaning Thomas Tuchelâs men have some work to do to avoid finishing outside the top-two for the first time since 2010/11. [/p]
[p]Next up to the Allianz Arena are an in-form Wolfsburg outfit, who have ruffled some feathers lately by putting together a three-game winning streak for the first time this season. Theyâve propelled themselves into a mid-table cluster where they are separated from Freiburg in seventh by just four points ahead of the round, meaning thereâs plenty of potential for Ralph HasenhĂŒttlâs men to make further inroads in the last two games of the season.[/p]
[p]If there is ever a fixture that disregards form though, itâs this one, as never before have Wolfsburg beaten Bayern away from home in the Bundesliga in 26 attempts (D2, L24), which is the longest a team has gone without an away win against an opposition in competition history. The Wolves will endeavour to bring that torrid run to an end here, as failing to do so could see them finish outside the top-half for just the second time in the last six seasons. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Bayernâs Jamal Musiala will be looking to haunt Wolfsburg once again, having registered six goal contributions in his last six H2Hs (G5, A1). The visitors will be hoping this season’s top-scorer Jonas Wind can show his firepower early again, since heâs scored six of his last seven goals before half-time.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Bayern have scored 21 league goals between the 61st and 75th minute this season, more than any other team in Europeâs traditional top-five leagues. [/p]
