Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich: Preview and Predictions

VfL Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich
German Bundesliga
Date: Saturday, 29th April 2017
Kick-off at 17:30 UK/ 18:30 CET
Venue: Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg.

After the catastrophe in DFB Pokal semi-final at Allianz Arena, Carlo Ancelotti’s men will attempt to mend their wounds against The Wolves. The Bavarians are few points away from the next Bundesliga title, while Wolfsburg are dragged into the relegation battle and they will be fighting for the survival in the remaining four games.

VfL Wolfsburg

Jonker’s men are in the 14th position with 33 points earned. In the previous round, they fell in Berlin against Hertha with the minimal result of 1-0. Unless Wolfsburg step up their form in the following two fixtures, they could easily find themselves in the relegation play-off spot at the end of the season.

The guests collected 16 points from 15 games on the road – they won 4 games while they were defeated 7 times, netting 16 and conceding 25 goals in the process.

Bayern Munich

Carlo Ancelotti is struggling to inspire his men since the Bavarians were knocked out of two major tournaments in a week. As impossible as it sounds, Bayern Munich are five games without a win across all competitions. It wouldn’t be a surprise if we witness yet another Bayern’s underwhelming performance at Volkswagen Arena, especially since the hosts will be satisfied with a draw.

VfL Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich: Head-to-head

The Wolves are without a win against Bayern for six consecutive encounters. The two sides met twice this season at Allianz Arena, with the Bavarians winning both matches. The first confrontation was within a Bundesliga fixture when Bayern obliterated Wolfsburg with 5-0. Within DFB Pokal meeting, Wolfsburg were beaten with 1-0 only.

VfL Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich: Prediction

Bayern’s defensive line and the absence of Neuer will be a huge problem as ex-Bayern Super Mario is in the great form. Wolfsburg will be more than happy to share points with unmotivated Bayern.
