Bayern Munich were held to their third draw in five matches when they made the trip to Union Berlin at the weekend. The German giants have now seen their last two Bundesliga games end in stalemates, and they have dropped into 2nd place in the table as a result.
Up next for Bayern Munich is a home game against an unbeaten Wolfsburg side that sit two places and 3pts behind them in the Bundesliga.
The hosts have a good record against Wolfsburg, as they do against most of the division, but the visitors look much stronger this season than they have since they claimed the Bundesliga title in 2009.
Both teams have scored in five of Bayern’s last six outings and over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of those fixtures. Bayern have found clean sheets hard to come by of late, which is very unlikely them.
Three of the last six encounters between Bayern and Wolfsburg have also ended with both teams finding the back of the net. Games between these two clubs tend to produce plenty of goals, with over 2.5 being scored in five of their last six meetings in the Bundesliga.
Wolfsburg extended that impressive unbeaten record in the league this season via a 2-1 home win over mid-table Frankfurt. The visitors have secured four wins and two draws from their last six matches in all competitions, including a goalless draw in a friendly with Hannover 96 last month.
Both teams have scored in four of Wolfsburg’s last six fixtures and over 2.5 goals have been produced in each of those four matches. The visitors have kept one clean sheet in their last five Bundesliga games, but won’t be expected to keep another when they go up against Lewandowski and co.
The Polish striker tops the scoring charts once again this season, netting 13-goals in just nine starts for Bayern Munich. The hosts look set to be without a few of their key players on Wednesday, as Kouassi, Sule, Martinez, Kimmich, Feldhahn and Tillman have all been ruled out through injury. Steffen, Malli, and Mehmedi are all injured for Wolfsburg, and Guilavogui is rated as doubtful.
Given the form both teams find themselves in, a draw looks like the probable result on Wednesday. All the stats point towards goals being a plenty on Wednesday, so a final scoreline of 2-2 looks to be the most likely final score.
