Wolfsburg Preview
Wolfsburg’s hopes of returning to European competition are higher than ever, thanks to an excellent campaign that has seen them start this new Bundesliga matchday in 7th place in the standings, just three points off their target.
Although they began 2023 with two impressive victories in which they scored 13 goals for and none against, the wolves come to this match looking to avoid a third straight loss, after losing 2-1 in the league against Werder Bremen last weekend. Plus, on Wednesday, they lost by 2-1 vs. Union Berlin in the DFB-Pokal.
The warmth of the Volkswagen Arena may be just what Wolfsburg needs to avoid consecutive Bundesliga defeats for the first time since August/September, given that it has lost only one of its eight home games in the league this campaign and managed a 2-2 draw the last time it hosted Bayern Munich after being 2-0 down.
Possible lineup (4-1-4-1): Koels Casteels; Ridle Baku, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Micky van de Ven, Paulo Otávio; Maximilian Arnold; Jakub Kamiski, Mattias Svanberg, Yannick Gerhardt, Patrick Wimmer; Jonas Wind.
Bayern Munich Preview
Unexpectedly, things have become more complicated for Bayern Munich this season as, although they are still leading the standings, there are only three points between them and fifth place, while their closest challengers, Union Berlin, are just one point behind.
This clustering at the top of the table in particular is due to a bizarre run of three draws in a row for the Bavarian side. And, after seeing them lose the lead after opening the scoring in two of those games, their coach, Julian Nagelsmann, is probably a little concerned about the performance of the defense.
He will try to solve this problem with the arrival of the Portuguese winger, João Cancelo, who will be on loan until the end of the campaign. Despite also having squandered the lead on their last visit to Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich will be confident of bouncing back, given that prior to that draw they had won six games in a row at this venue.
Possible lineup (3-4-1-2): Yann Sommer; Matthijs de Light, Dayot Upamecano, Benjamin Pavard; João Cancelo, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Kingsley Coman; Jamal Musiala; Thomas Müller; Eric Choupo-Moting.
JefeBet Prediction
In addition to Cancelo, Bayern Munich recently brought in Yann Sommer to make up for the absence of Manuel Neuer. However, they still have a lot of things to improve on, and in this match they will have a tough test against a Wolfsburg side that has scored 21 goals in 8 home games this campaign.
However, the German giants still have plenty of attacking options to hurt their opponents, with players such as Thomas Müller, Jamal Musiala, Kingsley Coman, Leon Goretzka, and Eric Choupo-Moting leading an offense that has scored 24 goals away from home so far.
Six of Wolfsburg’s eight home games in this Bundesliga campaign have registered more than 2.5 goals in total. Considering the offensive potential of their opponents and what they have done at home this year, we expect this to be a high-scoring game.
Prediction: Over (WOL 1 – 3 BAY).
