Wolfsburg – Glasner’s Wolves ending strongly?
Following up last season’s impressive points haul and fourth place finish was never going to be an easy task. A change of manager hasn’t had the affect desired, even if the Wolves do boast the most clean sheets (11) in the German top tier in 2021-22 – a shared honour with their Matchday 34 opponents. As they sit a lowly 13th coming into the final bout of games, their 41 points lagging far behind the 61 accrued last season.
Despite standards having dropped, there will be a general sense of relief that the campaign is set to end without any drama. A relegation scrap appeared inevitable at the midway stage, before some shrewd transfer acquisitions brought about stark improvement on the pitch. So much that Oliver Glasner’s charges go into the final day unbeaten in three (W2 D1) having secured maxim points in three of their last five.
Key Stat: In their last two Bundesliga home matches, Wolfsburg have recorded 4-0 and 5-0 victories against Arminia Bielefeld and FSV Mainz respectively. These goals (9) are as many as they had scored across their eight previous outings at Volkswagen Arena.
Bayern Munich – Champions tend to thrive in this fixture?
Wrapping up the club’s tenth consecutive league title was par for the course for Julian Nagelsmann, who will be under considerable pressure in his second term to deliver on other fronts, particularly in Europe. As far as this Saturday goes, the 34-year-old Bayern chief will be expected to maintain the status quo that is Die Roten’s extraordinary dominance of both this fixture and those held on the final day of the season.
Since a 4-1 loss at this venue in January 2015, Bayern have gone unbeaten in 13 league encounters versus Wolfsburg, winning each of the last eight. This includes a 4-0 romp in Munich back in December. Meanwhile, they have scored at least three in as many visits to the Volkswagen Arena. Moreover, the record champions do tend to finish strongly, with 14 victories from their past 15 fixtures held on Matchday 34.
Key Stat: Since being officially crowned league champions after their 3-1 home success against Borussia Dortmund on 23 April, Bayern Munich haven’t won a game. FCB were subsequently beaten 3-1 away at Mainz before being held 2-2 at home by Stuttgart.

Wolfsburg Vs Bayern Munich Betting Advice
Had this fixture taken place earlier in the season, I am not sure we could have held out much hope for Wolfsburg against a Bayern Munich that has once again proved they are comfortably the best team in the country. And yet, since lifting the trophy last month, Bayern have failed to win in two attempts – against sides in 9th and 16th. Meanwhile Wolfsburg are purring, unbeaten in three having won three of the last five.
Wolfsburg Vs Bayern Munich – Key Facts:
- Bayern Munich haven’t lost any of 13 Bundesliga matches versus Wolfsburg, winning the last eight in a row, since a 4-1 loss here at Volkswagen Arena in January 2015.
- Saturday’s hosts are in excellent form though. Wolfsburg are unbeaten in three and boast three wins in their last five (W3 D1 L1), scoring a combined nine goals across their previous two home games.
- However, only once in the past 15 seasons has Bayern Munich not won their final league game. The record German champions would also win each of the last seven head-to-head match-ups in all competitions as the away side, netting 2+ each time.
Bayern’s record in the final fixture is formidable though. 14 wins in their past 15 Matchday 34 outings is incredible, especially when considering that a lot of those were inconsequential having wrapped up the league nice and early on numerous occasions. An entertaining win for the visitors appeals then. Bayern scored 3 on all three previous visits to Wolfsburg, who have racked up nine goals in their last two home matches.
