Bayern Munich Vs Wolfsburg: Match Prediction
There is no doubt about the attacking power of the home side. Over the last two seasons there has been only one league match in which Bayern Munich failed to score at least twice at home. In the current championship, the home side lead the goals chart by a wide margin, ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen by 22 goals. However, defensive reliability has recently declined: in the five previous home Bundesliga matches Bayern Munich kept a clean sheet only once and conceded a total of six goals.
Wolfsburg can potentially take advantage of the increased defensive errors, especially since the visiting team have previously shown sufficient attacking efficiency in away matches. In the current championship Wolfsburg have played seven away games and failed to find the net only in the match against Borussia Dortmund. In addition, last season the visiting team managed to score two goals against Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena.
We expect an attacking game from both opponents, and our prediction:
Prediction: Both Teams To Score
