Wolfsburg - Bayern München predictions

Upsets do happen in football and it’s fair to say a home win here would be a definition of the case. Wolfsburg can count themselves lucky if they avoid getting completely destroyed by Bayern München in this match.

Most bookies and expert opinions agree that The Bavarians should record a decisive victory here. It’s a fairly one-sided matchup overall, and they are hard favourites despite playing as the away team.

The home team are coming off of a 0:1 victory over Darmstadt 98 in the previous round. Their supporters had reasons to feel hopeful before that game’s kick-off – they were playing as visitors, but still had a mild advantage in terms of betting odds. They had to wait until the second half for the deciding goal, but they got there in the end.

Bayern never really broke a sweat against Stuttgart as they recorded a pretty straightforward 3:0 victory last time out in the Bundesliga. Having taken an early lead in the first half they only brought it home for a rather convincing and morale-boosting win.

Wolfsburg gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 7 conceded goals.

The Bavarians have scored 15 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

Bayern Munich met Wolfsburg several times in the previous season and managed to handily beat them every time. The head-to-head stats are showing multiple consecutive victories with 2 or more goals ahead, so the fact most bookies are expecting an away win is quite understandable.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Bouna Sarr, Noussair Mazraoui, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, Tarek Buchmann, Tom Ritzy Hülsmann due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Patrick Wimmer, Lukas Nmecha, Rogério, A. Sarr have also reported injuries.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.33, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
