Bayern Munich will start their redemption arc with the away clash against Wolfsburg on Sunday afternoon in the first round of the 2024/25 Bundesliga campaign.
The Bavarians shockingly came third in the previous Bundesliga term, trailing as many as 18 points to first-time champions Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich have gone through a summer overhaul as a consequence. Former Burnley head coach and Man City centre-back Vincent Kompany took over Thomas Tuchel on the bench.
Kompany will have a star-studded lineup on disposal, strengthened by the likes of Joao Palhinha and Michael Olise.
The former will bring much-needed stability at the centre of the park while the latter has already shown his talent in the pre-season exhibitions.
Wolfsburg did not change their squad much from the last season but it can by no means be considered a positive for them.
The Wolves ended the last campaign 12th in the league standings. They did not shine in the pre-season either, meaning there is really not much to be optimistic about when it comes to their chances in the inaugural round’s tie with the main title contenders.
Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Bayern Munich have been the dominant force in the history of this matchup. They have 12 wins and 1 draw in the last 13 encounters with the Wolves.
Also, the Bavarians notched at least two goals in each of the last 15 meetings with Wolfsburg.
Bayern Munich looked beyond impressive in the pre-season. They’ll come into this on the back of five straight victories. The run involves back-to-back wins over Tottenham Hotspur as well as a pair of 4-0 victories in the last two matches.
Wolfsburg looked leaky at the back this summer. They allowed three goals to Hannover 96 and four to Brentford in recent exhibitions.
