Bayern Munich don’t make many slip-ups domestically although the German champions were powerless to prevent a heavy defeat away to Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday 9 December. It remains to be seen whether that loss will have any lasting effects and it should be noted that their opponents that day were able to score five goals from their six shots on target.
Bayern are warm favourites to get back to winning ways on the road when they clash with opponents who have won four, drawn one and lost two of their seven home matches. They have largely been a winning machine this season, with the ship being steadied after a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford in the UEFA Champions League.
Thomas Tuchel’s side benefitted from already being qualified for the last sixteen stage and they have been able to ease down in Europe after recording four consecutive wins, with Harry Kane likely to be a popular first scorer selection for this encounter. Jamal Musiala is also back in the fold after injury and is likely to pose a lively threat.
Wolfsburg are capable of running a tight ship at the Volkswagen Arena, with Niko Kovac’s side having beaten RB Leipzig twice at home in recent weeks. However, there has definitely been a downturn in form after starting the campaign with five victories in seven encounters. Scoring goals against the champions could be an issue, with Bayern + BTTS No making appeal.
