Wolfsburg v Bayern Munich Betting Tips [5 February 2023]

Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg had contrasting outings in the DFB Pokal and will go into their Bundesliga meeting targeting three crucial points. Wolfsburg plays host in this game, seeking to rise from seventh where they are, with 29 points while Bayern are second on 37 points. The hosts were beaten 2-1 by Union Berlin in their last game, in the cup competition. That was their second loss after losing 2-1 to Werder Bremen in their last Bundesliga game. The loss to Werder Bremen was their first in 11 Bundesliga matches, thus they will feel confident enough of taking on the reigning champions. In the last seven Bundesliga matches they have wins, and in eight of nine, they’ve scored two or more goals. They’ve done well at home in their recent league matches too, going unbeaten in five, and winning four of them.

After three straight matches in 2023 with no wins, Bayern Munich finally posted victory, a 4-0 win over Mainz in the DFB Pokal. Draws with Leipzig, FC Koln and Eintracht Frankfurt have seen Bayern drop to second after Union Berlin’s win earlier. However, three points in this game will take Bayern back to the league summit. Bayern Munich are unbeaten in 11 league matches since the loss to Augsburg in September. However, they have just one clean sheet in the last seven league games. Both sides have scored in seven of their last 10 league matches, while Bayern have failed to score just once in the league this season. They haven't lost to Wolfsburg in the last 17 meetings and this will be a run they want to keep going, especially in this crucial game.

Two teams with good scoring runs face off on the back of contrasting results in their recent matches. Wolfsburg are seeking to bounce back after two straight losses, and will bank on their scoring run. They haven’t been great defensively though, which is an area Bayern Munich will want to exploit. Bayern Munich themselves aren’t great defensively but have been consistent in attack. Our prediction for the Wolfsburg v Bayern Munich game will be for both teams to score.
