Indeed, Bayern could even finish outside the top two. Stuttgart are two points behind Bayern with two matches left to play.
Wolfsburg will make the trip to the Allianz on Sunday, seeking a big win over their rivals. The Wolves are now safe from relegation thanks to three straight Bundesliga wins.
They are eight points above the relegation-playoff place with six points left to play for.
The Wolves are in form, having taken 12 points from the last six games. Nine of those 12 points came in the last three matches.
Wolfsburg didn’t score many goals, as they tallied just nine in the six fixtures, while the defence allowed seven.
Nine points were picked up by Bayern Munich in the last six matches. Bayern’s attack scored 12 goals, but the defence struggled during those six fixtures. Opponents scored 10 goals against Bayern.
Bayern are the Bundesliga’s second-best home team. Only champions Bayer Leverkusen have won more than Bayern’s 40 points at home. Remarkably, Bayern have scored 51 goals at the Allianz.
Die Roten are the league’s top-scoring team. Bayern plundered 90 goals in 32 matches. Kane has scored 36 of those 90 goals for a total of 40%. There is a strong argument to make that Bayern are too dependent on Kane for goal scoring.
Danish forward Jonas Wind is Wolfsburg leading goal scorer, tallying 11 goals. No other Wolfsburg player has more than five goals. Wind scored in two of his last three games, including last weekend against Darmstadt in a 3-0 win.
The Wolves scored just 40 goals in their 32 matches. Fifty-one goals were conceded by Wolfsburg in their 32 games.
Kane scored in each of his last three Bundesliga matches. He failed to score in just nine of Bayern’s 32 matches. He averages a goal every 79 minutes.
Bayern went unbeaten in each of their last six matches versus Wolfsburg, winning five and drawing one. The Bavarians won 2-1 in the reverse fixture at the VW Arena.
Bayern should pull off the domestic double according to our AI score predictor. Kane should lead Bayern to a 3-1 win.
