Head to Head comparison
Bayern have scored 2 goals or more in their previous 11 meetings against Wolfsburg in all competitions.
Wolfsburg have witnessed over 2.5 goals in their previous 5 home games against Bayern Munich across all competitions.
Both teams have score in 3 of their last 5 Bundesliga meetings.
Prediction
Bayern will be encouraged by the arrival of Joao Cancelo and can record their first league win of 2023 against the Wolves.
Due to the fact that they have had 24 hours less rest and recovery time following midweek German Cup activity than the hosts, I think Wolfsburg should be able to score.
For this reason, both teams to score goals @1.50 best bet while a combination of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals @1.67 is my second choice prediction. (Won ✅)
