Bayern Munich – Mane to maintain 100% scoring record?

Any notion that the defending Bundesliga champions might require a few games to find their scoring groove in the absence of Robert Lewandowski were quelled emphatically, as Bayern Munich opened 2022-23 in formidable fashion, blowing Eintracht Frankfurt away in a 6-1 demolition of the Europa League holders. This after putting RB Leipzig to the sword, winning 5-3, to claim German Super Cup spoils.

Sunday’s outcome, therefore, already feels ominous. A confident, rampant Die Rotten preparing to face opponents against whom they have never lost to in Bavaria – winning 23 of 25 all-time league encounters in Munich. Thomas Muller, meanwhile, recorded two assists on Matchday 1, while Sadio Mane, who has found the net in each of Bayern’s first two competitive outings, has filled Lewandowski’s void seamlessly.

Key Stat: A Bayern Munich win and Over 3.5 Goals would have returned a winning selection in 18 of 34 Bundesliga games (52%) last term, and in 9 of 17 when they were hosting (also 52%).

Wolfsburg – Kovac with point to prove in Munich?

Last season, the Wolves enjoyed a more productive start to the Bundesliga campaign than champions Bayern, winning their first four under Mark van Bommel. That was as good as it got under the Dutchman, though, sacked not long after following a dismal run of results which seen them win two of the next 16. With the threat of relegation looming large, they thankfully turned it around to finish 12th of 18.

Wolfsburg wrapped up 2021-22 by going unbeaten in four (W2 D2), with the winter arrival of Max Kruse from Union Berlin particularly shrewd. The streak is still very much alive, then, after coming from 2-1 down to earn a 2-2 draw at home to newly-promoted Werder Bremen on the opening weekend. Meaning they’ve now scored in seven consecutive Bundesliga matches (W3 D3 L1).

Key Stat: Wolfsburg have drawn their previous two Bundesliga contests, beginning the 2022-23 season by drawing 2-2 at home to Werder Bremen having ending 2021-22 by drawing 2-2 at home to Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich Vs Wolfsburg Betting Advice

Former Bayern Munich manager Niko Kovac should relish the challenge of trying to spoil the record champions quests for an 11th consecutive Bundesliga crown. The Croatian inherits a Wolves outfit which finished a disappointing 14 last term, accruing 19 points fewer than their total from the previous season. Wolfsburg finished strong last time round, however, and arrive in Munich unbeaten in five (W2 D3).

 

Bayern Munich Vs Wolfsburg – Key Facts:

  • In Bundesliga history, Bayern Munich have lost just four of their 50 encounters versus Wolfsburg, and none of the 25 that have taken place in Munich (W23 D2).
  • Six of the past eight league meetings between these teams has produced a minimum of four match goals, while only one of the last four didn’t see both teams score.
  • Bayern Munich ended a run of three league games without winning (D2 L1) by thrashing Eintracht Frankfurt 6-1 on the road on MD1. Wolfsburg, meanwhile, will be determined to extend their unbeaten Bundesliga run to six (W2 D3) this weekend.

 

Bayern were rampant on Matchday 1, scoring six on the road against Frankfurt. That bodes well for another high-scoring renewal of this particular fixture, with all of the last five head-to-heads seeing three or more goals with four of these going over 3.5. Interestingly, though, Wolfsburg – in a decent scoring vein of their own – would get involved in the scoring in three of the last four meetings between the sides.
