Looking to make another Bundesliga statement on Wednesday night and make up some ground in the title chase, Bayern Munich will travel to Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg

Starting with the hosts, while Wolfsburg might have claimed a welcomed Bundesliga boost over the weekend as they secured a 1-0 victory against Darmstadt, Niko Kovac’s men have struggled to find any kind of stability this season. Facing a major uphill battle in their bid to book a European return in the New Year, the Wolves have won just a pair of their previous seven domestic appearances across all competitions. Crashing out of the DFP Pokal earlier in the month thanks to a 1-0 loss at the hands of Borussia Monchengladbach, Wolfsburg have failed to record back-to-back victories since the end of August. Likewise, last seen at the Volkswagen Arena getting hit with a 1-0 defeat against Freiburg, Kovac’s side should be bracing themselves for a stern examination when the defending champions arrive in town on Wednesday night.

Team News

Shown a first half red card away at Darmstadt over the weekend, 23-year-old Maxence Lacroix will begin a three-match suspension on Wednesday night. However, serving his own respective ban on Saturday, midfield ace Maximilian Arnold should make a full return here.

Still dealing with a stacked injury list at the Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg will be without the likes of Felix Lange, Amin Sarr, Patrick Wimmer and one-time Manchester City starlet Lukas Nmecha. Although Jonas Wind might have bagged just a single Bundesliga strike since the end of October, the Danish international will spearhead Kovac’s charge.

Bayern Munich

As for the visitors, while Bayern Munich might still have a real battle on their hands to make more Bundesliga history this season, Thomas Tuchel’s side are enjoying an eye-catching flurry. Putting in a rampant performance over the weekend as they stormed their way to a 3-0 romp against Stuttgart, the former Chelsea boss will be calling on his squad to make another statement here. Breezing their way to the Champions League knockout stage and tipped as a genuine European contender in the New Year, Bayern should also be excited by a stellar record against Wednesday’s hosts. Including an action-packed 4-2 victory when they last traveled to the Volkswagen Arena back on February 5th, Tuchel’s men have remarkably not suffered a single domestic defeat against Wolfsburg since way back in August 2015.

Team News

Missing out over the weekend with a calf injury, France international Kingsley Coman is once again a major doubt on Wednesday night. Returning from a knee issue on Sunday night, ex-Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt could make a first appearance since the start of November here.

Bagging yet another Bundesliga brace against Stuttgart and continuing to break a string of domestic records since arriving from Tottenham over the summer, England skipper Harry Kane will have a leading role to play here. Former Manchester City star Leroy Sane will once again partner Kane in the final third.

Key Factors to Consider

• When Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich last met back on February 5th, Tuchel’s side claimed a 4-2 victory at the Volkswagen Arena.
• Likewise, the defending Bundesliga champions have remarkably not suffered a single domestic defeat against Wednesday’s hosts since back in August 2015.
• Wolfsburg have recorded just a pair of wins from any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions.
• England skipper Harry Kane has notched 20 strikes in his first 14 Bundesliga appearances this season.
• Bayern Munich have won six of their previous eight showdowns away from the Allianz.

Conclusion

Breezing their way to a 3-0 romp against Stuttgart over the weekend, Bayern Munich will be confident of making another statement here. Landing an action-packed 4-2 victory when they last travelled to the Volkswagen Arena back on February 5th, Tuchel’s men will be excited by a rampant record against Wednesday’s hosts. Remarkably not suffering a single domestic defeat against Wolfsburg since way back in August 2015, Bayern will be looking to cash in on a Wolfsburg squad that have continued to show some extended inconsistencies.
