It is honestly hard to find many flaws in this current Bayern machine. After fifteen games, they remain the only undefeated side in Germany, matching the legendary 2013/14 season start with 41 points. Their attacking output at home is simply frightening, averaging 3.88 goals per match. Still, there have been some minor cracks showing in the armor. Did you notice they conceded five goals across their last three home fixtures against Mainz and St. Pauli? It is a tiny detail, but perhaps a sign that the high line can be caught out. Latest Germany Bundesliga Predictions suggest that while the win is likely, a clean sheet might be harder to come by for the Bavarians.

Looking at the personnel, 17 year old sensation Lennart Karl has been stealing the headlines. With Nicolas Jackson away at the Africa Cup for Senegal, the youngster has stepped up brilliantly, netting in half of his last eight appearances. Bayern holds the ball for 68% of the time on average, which usually means their opponents are left chasing shadows for ninety minutes. Can he really continue this scoring run? With the highest xG in the league, it feels like the goals will inevitably flow regardless of who starts. That said, the loss of Jackson is a blow, but Kompany has enough depth to keep the pressure on any visiting defense.

Wolfsburg arrives in Munich with a bit of a split personality. On one hand, they have the second worst start in club history with only 15 points. On the other, they are surprisingly dangerous on the road, taking 67% of their points away from their own fans. New boss Daniel Bauer has definitely breathed some life into the attack since taking over in November, with the team averaging two goals per game under his watch. Even so, their defensive frailties remain a massive headache. They have conceded six penalties this season, which is a league high. It is hard to say how this will end if they keep handing out gifts to a team as clinical as Bayern.

One man the Bayern defenders must watch is Dzenan Pejcinovic. The 20 year old just became the youngest Wolfsburg player to score a Bundesliga hat trick in their recent thriller against Freiburg. He is carrying a lot of weight on his shoulders with Mohamed Amoura also away on international duty for Algeria. Wolfsburg has a terrible habit of throwing away leads, losing fifteen points from winning positions so far. That is a bold stat, but not the good kind. They might find the net, but holding onto a result at the Allianz Arena is a different beast entirely. It should be a fascinating battle between Bayern’s relentless pressure and Wolfsburg’s counter attacking potential.
