Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 25th August 2024

From a top three spot last season, Bayern Munich hope to hit the ground running when they take on Wolfsburg for their opening game of the Bundesliga campaign on Sunday at Volkswagen Arena.

We expect to see some solid dedication from both Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich as starting a season with a defeat is an undesirable outcome for anyone's morale.

Wolfsburg are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 11 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.1 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 17 goals, or an average of 1.7 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to three clean sheets in this run.

Ahead of their coming Bundesliga match, Bayern Munich look in excellent goal-scoring shape. In their previous ten games, they hammered in an average of 2.9 goals a game. A highly respectable total of 29 goals, while also letting in 17 goals. The latter leaves an average of 1.7 per outing, in which they managed two clean sheets.

Bayern Munich beat Wolfsburg twice in their most recent meetings, as they claimed wins by 2-0 and 2-1, respectively.

Wolfsburg claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Bundesliga. They also drew zero and lost four, scored nine goals and conceded 12.

We don't expect Wolfsburg to pull off a surprise, and with goals flowing freely, they could be in for a hammering against strong looking Bayern Munich.
