Germany Bundesliga: Bayern Munich x Wolfsburg, Match Preview, Odds and Predictions(12/05/2024)

In the season's penultimate matchup against Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich will attempt to gain momentum following a 3-1 defeat to Stuttgart. We are sure that the Bavarians, intent on securing second place in the standings, will engage the Wolves with all of their might. Raphael Guerreiro, Matthijs de Ligt, Kingsley Coman, and Bouna Sarr are all sidelined due to ailments, whereas the host team has no players on suspension.

In contrast, Wolfsburg are approaching their third consecutive victory in the national championship. In the season-ending match, Ralph Hasenhuttl's squad has little to play for, so a home victory should be taken into account. Bayern Munich won their most recent meeting at Allianz Arena by a score of 2-0. Sebastiaan Bornauw, a defender for the visiting team, has returned from suspension; however, Lukas Nmecha, Mattias Svanberg, and Rogerio are all sidelined due to injuries.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

In Europe, Bayern Munich will have its last thrilling match of the season. After last week's 2-2 home draw, FCB will face Real Madrid on Wednesday night in their quest to get to the Champions League final. However, Thomas Tuchel's squad had a far more difficult time in the tournament after losing the German champion title they had held for almost a decade. 

Currently in second place and a long way behind Bayer Leverkusen, the Bavarian club is only two points clear of Stuttgart in third place after last weekend's 3-1 loss to the Swabians. The Munich club had previously won their previous three matches, by scores of 2-0 against Cologne, 1-5 against Union Berlin, and 2-1 against Eintracht Frankfurt.

As for Wolfsburg, they have finally found some relief after a tough season. This squad, which was supposed to be in the top half of the rankings, had a terrible season overall and even flirted with relegation in the second half. In the end, VfL bounced back well under Ralph Hasenhüttl, who succeeded Niko Kovac as head coach. The squad is now riding a three-game winning streak, having defeated Bochum 1-0, Friborg 1-2, and Darmstadt 3-0.

Bayern is still missing key players like Boey (a winter recruit), the Coman tricolours (a possible holder), replacement Buchmann, and former Marseillais Sarr due to injury. Guerreiro, a former Lorient player who suffered an injury last week against Stuttgart, and centre defence De Ligt are also not available. Players like Sané (8 goals, 11 assists) and Musiala (10 goals, 6 assists), who were active last weekend, will be back, along with Gnabry (3 goals), Goretzka (5 goals, 7 assists), and Muller (5 goals, 7 assists), who were also part of the selection.
