Bayern Munich stumbled in the midweek Champions League clash, suffering a 2-1 defeat against Real Madrid in the semifinal second leg.
Now, Thomas Tuchel aims to end the season on a high note. Will Bayern overcome Wolfsburg on Sunday?
Match Preview
The Harry Kane curse seems evident. Bayern will finish the 2023-24 season without any silverware as Kane completes his debut campaign.
Moreover, Bayern might even end up outside the top two. Stuttgart trail Bayern by two points with two games remaining.
On Sunday, Wolfsburg will visit the Allianz Arena, hoping for a significant victory over their rivals. The Wolves have secured their safety from relegation with three consecutive Bundesliga wins.
With six points left to play for, they sit comfortably eight points above the relegation playoff spot.
Wolfsburg is in good form, accruing 12 points from their last six outings, with nine of those points earned in the recent three matches.
However, their goal-scoring output has been modest, with just nine goals scored in the last six fixtures, while their defense conceded seven.
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, gathered nine points in their previous six matches, with their attack netting 12 goals. However, their defense struggled, conceding 10 goals during that span.
At home, Bayern ranks second in the Bundesliga, amassing 40 points, with only Bayer Leverkusen having a better record. Impressively, Bayern has scored 51 goals at the Allianz Arena.
They are also the league’s highest-scoring team, bagging 90 goals in 32 matches, with Kane contributing 36 of those goals, accounting for 40% of the total.
On the other hand, Danish forward Jonas Wind leads Wolfsburg’s goal-scoring charts with 11 goals, with no other player scoring more than five goals. Wind found the net in two of his last three games, including a goal against Darmstadt in their 3-0 victory last weekend.
Wolfsburg managed to score only 40 goals in 32 matches, while conceding 51 goals.
Kane showcased his scoring prowess, finding the net in each of his last three Bundesliga matches and averaging a goal every 79 minutes across the season.
Prediction & Analysis:
With Bayern Munich’s formidable home record and Harry Kane’s goal-scoring exploits, they are favored to emerge victorious in this encounter.
Wolfsburg’s resilient defense may pose a challenge, but Bayern’s attacking firepower is expected to prevail.
A 3-1 win for Bayern Munich seems likely, with Kane playing a pivotal role in securing the three points.
Bayern is poised to continue their dominance over Wolfsburg and strengthen their bid for Bundesliga glory.
