VfL Wolfsburg take on Bayern Munich this week
VfL Wolfsburg take on Bayern Munich this week

The Bundesliga is back in action with another set of matches this week as Bayern Munich take on VfL Wolfsburg on Friday. Bayern Munich have been impressive this season and hold the upper hand going into this game.

VfL Wolfsburg are in 11th place in the Bundesliga standings and have been fairly inconsistent this year. The away side suffered a 3-2 defeat against Koln last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form this season. The Bavarians thrashed VfB Stuttgart by a 5-0 margin in their previous game and will want a similar result in this fixture.

🗣 #Kohfeldt: Bayern Munich has many exceptional players, such as #Müller, #Lewandowski, #Gnabry or #Sané - you can't really single anyone out. Offensively, there is a lot of quality. But yes, we have to keep #Lewandowski in check.
