Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-01-17 14:30.
[p]Bayern Munich cruised to a 5-0 midweek Bundesliga win over Hoffenheim to maintain their advantage at the top of the table, leaving manager Vincent Kompany delighted with his teamâs hunger after they missed out on the title last term. That drive to regain the trophy has seen them lose only one league game this season (W13, D3), although that did come just four outings ago at Mainz (L 2-1).[/p]
[p]The Bavarians are unbeaten at home in the league this term (W7, D1) with only reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen taking points off them. Entertainment seems likely here as thereâs been an average of 4.5 goals per Bundesliga home game since that draw (W6), while Bayern have netted an average of three times per match across their last six home meetings with Wolfsburg (W6).[/p]
[p]That highlights the scale of the task facing the visitors, who havenât beaten Bayern anywhere since winning the DFL Supercup final on penalties in August 2015 (D2, L19). They ought not to be too deterred by that record though as theyâre well placed inside the top half and targeting European qualification in the second half of the season after winning six of their last eight in the league (L2), including a thumping 5-1 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Tuesday.[/p]
[p]The Wolves will have to overlook their awful record here as theyâve never won an away H2H (D2, L29), meaning theyâll enter this clash as big outsiders. Ralph HasenhĂŒttlâs side might draw hope from successes on the road in the league this term (W5, D1, L2), including an even record in Bundesliga road games in which their opponents started as favourites (W2, D1, L2).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Harry Kane has scored penalties in both of Bayernâs last two games, with five of his last seven strikes coming from the spot – all of them helped secure victories âto nilâ. After netting two late goals against Gladbach, Wolfsburgâs Lukas Nmecha has now registered five of his last six efforts after the 75th minute.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Bayern (four) and Wolfsburg (five) are responsible for 23% of Bundesliga goals scored before the tenth minute this term.[/p]
