Bayern Munich VS Wolfsburg, 9/23/2017 02:30 Saturday
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich did a good job that they have destroyed Schalke 04 during midweek with 0-3 on the road, which leads them to have got 3 successive wins in all competitions. Moreover, Carlo Ancelotti's team have made light work and kept all clean sheets in these 3 games, even with some important players out.
Star of the South will return to their strong home ground to face Wolfsburg on September 23rd. Both sides are back at the Allianz Arena for a match. Bayern Munich have been dominant in games these years, and have been perfect as hosts, having won the last 17 matches here. Bayern have an extremely positive record and have produced high scoring shows against Wolfsburg, with all wins of their last 6 meetings.
In terms of Bayern's performance in the past games, we could find that Bayern tend to break the rivals in the first 20 minutes and open the defense as soon as possible. When it comes to this, I have to mention Robert Lewandowski who had a magical show in 2015, with 5 goals within 9 minutes against Wolves. Besides, summer signing James Rodriguez is likely to make appearance in the starting line-up since he has scored his first goal of the season against Schalke 04.
Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg have got only 1 win since the start of Bundesliga. They sit 12th in the standings with only 3 points separating them from dropping into the bottom 3.
The most recent match at home, against Werder Bremen, ended without winners, 1-1. That was Wolves' 3rd winless game. It is obvious that they're short up front, especially with Gomez out, and not secure enough at the back.
This has been an extremely difficult fixture for Wolfsburg in recent times, as they have conceded 22 goals in the recent 6 matches against Bayern Munich. Wolves have no longer been the team that can fight with Der FCB and get into the Last 8 of UEFA CL, which makes their fans sad.
The biggest problem is the attack and it seems that Mario Gomez and Divock Origi can't find their game. On top of all, they have enormous issues with injuries, and more than half of their lineup is uncertain or won't play follow on.
Key Factors to Consider
Bayern Munich have been dominant in games these years, with 17 wins here.
Bayern Munich have won all wins of their last 6 games against Wolfsburg.
Odds
William Hill offer odds of 1.2 for the Bayern Munich to win, which is in favor of the home side. The AH opening line is -2.25 for the hosts.
Conclusion
In front of a home crowd, Der FCB are worth backing to record another convincing victory, while Wolfsburg are going to return home empty-handed.
