Bayern Munich return to Bundesliga action on the 11th january Sunday looking to maintain their dominance after a commanding 4-0 win over Heidenheim in matchweek 15, softfootball reported.
That victory marked the 19th time in 25 games this season that Vincent Kompany’s side have scored at least three goals, underlining their attacking firepower.
With Bundesliga action resuming, Bayern confirmed the fixture on their X handle, posting:
𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛: Bundesliga is back! 🔥⚽️ On Sunday, we face VfL Wolfsburg at 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘 🏟️.
Despite their free-scoring form, Bayern will be eager to tighten up defensively, having conceded 14 goals in their last 10 matches and failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four home outings.
Still, Kompany’s men are unbeaten in six games and boast an outstanding Allianz Arena record, with 10 wins and one draw from 11 league matches.
Their attacking depth has been on display in recent weeks, reflected in dramatic late turnarounds like the comeback win over St. Pauli powered by late goals, even though their European campaign has not been without setbacks, with a recent Champions League defeat serving as a reminder that consistency is still being tested at the highest level.
Wolfsburg arrive after a frustrating 3-2 defeat to Freiburg, a result that ended a three-game unbeaten run. While Daniel Bauer’s side have scored three goals in each of their last three matches, defensive frailties remain a concern, with no clean sheet in eight games and a daunting historical record against Bayern.
Team News
Bayern will again rely on Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz, all of whom scored last time out. Joshua Kimmich is sidelined with an ankle injury, while Alphonso Davies remains unavailable.
Wolfsburg are without Mohamed Amoura and Jonas Wind due to AFCON and injury respectively, placing attacking responsibility on Dzenan Pejcinovic.
Possible Lineups
Bayern Munich: Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Stanisic; Pavlovic, Goretzka; Olise, Gnabry, Diaz; Kane
Wolfsburg: Grabara; Kumbedi, Seelt, Koulierakis, Zehnter; Gerhardt, Arnold; Eriksen, Majer, Wimmer; Pejcinovic
Softfootball Prediction
Bayern Munich 3-1 Wolfsburg. Bayern’s attacking quality should prove decisive, even if Wolfsburg manage to threaten on the break.
