On Wednesday night, reigning German champions Bayern Munich will look to boost their Bundesliga title hopes when they visit Wolfsburg.
Wolfsburg form guideThe Wolves ended a three-game winless run last time out by recording a 1-0 win at Darmstadt previous time out. It was only the home team’s second win in nine Bundesliga outings. They will be hoping that the win kickstarts their campaign in the German top flight.
Niko Kovac’s team is currently in ninth place in the table, five points adrift of the European spots in the Bundesliga. However, they are now nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Wolfsburg’s recent home form in the German top flight has been poor, as they have won just one of their previous four league games on home soil.
Their recent league matches at the Volkswagen Arena have at least provided goals, as seven of their last ten home matches in the Bundesliga have produced over 2.5 goals.
Bayern Munich form guideThe reigning German champions recorded a second straight victory with a comfortable 3-0 home win over Stuttgart last time out. The win means that Thomas Tuchel’s team has won seven of their previous eight matches in the Bundesliga.
Despite their recent good form in the Bundesliga, Bayern are second-place in the table, four points adrift of league leaders Bayer Leverkusen, although they have a game in hand on Die Werkself.
The visitors have been highly potent in front of goal lately in the Bundesliga, having scored at least two goals in 13 of their last 15 matches in the league.
Bayern saw an eight-game unbeaten away run ended last time out with a 5-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt. However, the visitors have still won seven of their previous nine away games in the German top-flight.
What am I backing?Wolfsburg has been unconvincing of late, and I believe Bayern will make it three straight wins in all competitions in this clash.
