Bayern vs Wolfsburg Prediction
🔊 Bayern return to extend their unbeaten run and aim to defeat Wolfsburg, a team that has never triumphed at the Allianz Arena. It's hard to believe the Wolves can snatch even a point from Munich, as very few have managed to do so this season. Only one team has secured a draw here, which happened in Vincent Kompany's side's last home game. Will Bayern slip up in back-to-back home fixtures?
Head-to-Head
📊 Bayern have claimed victory in their last six matches and remain unbeaten against Wolfsburg in their past 22 encounters. Last season, the Munich side won both meetings with the same scoreline of 3-2, both at home and away. The last time Wolfsburg managed to take points from Bayern was in the 2021/22 season when they came back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw at home.

Bayern Munich Team Overview
🔴 In their final match of 2025, Bayern comfortably extended their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga, securing a 4-0 away victory against Heidenheim with goals from Stanisic, Olise, Diaz, and Kane. The club heads into the winter break with a nine-point lead over their closest rivals, Borussia Dortmund. With 13 wins, two draws, and a goal difference of +44, the Munich side has amassed 41 points, marking the best start in Bundesliga history after 15 rounds. These historical parallels should boost Vincent Kompany's squad's confidence in the crucial phase of the campaign, as Bayern have gone on to win the title 24 out of 27 times (89%) when leading at the halfway point of the season.
⚪ This season, Bayern have dropped points at the Allianz Arena only once in 11 matches across all competitions. This occurred in their last home game, where only a late penalty from Harry Kane in the 87th minute salvaged a draw against league strugglers Mainz (2-2).
⭐ On January 6th, Vincent Kompany's young talents shone brightly in their sole training camp friendly against Salzburg, securing a 5-0 victory. Lennart Carl netted a brace, while Hiroki Ito, Felipe Chavez, and Tom Bischoff also found the back of the net.

Wolfsburg Team Overview
🟢 Wolfsburg's unbeaten streak of three matches (a draw and two wins) was snapped just before the New Year in a home game against Freiburg. This match marked Daniel Bauer's debut as head coach. Despite a hat-trick from Jenan Pejcinovic and twice taking the lead during the game, the Wolves fell to Julian Schuster's side (3-4).
⚪ The Lower Saxony club resumes their fight to stay in the top division, currently sitting in 14th place with a three-point cushion above the relegation playoff zone. Their current tally of 15 points is Wolfsburg's second-lowest at this stage of the season in their history, only surpassed by the 2016/17 season when they had 13 points after 15 rounds.
🐺 During the winter break, the team held a short training camp in Portugal, where they played a friendly against Estrela, a team from the lower half of the Primeira Liga table. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with Mattias Svanberg equalizing in the 31st minute.

Wolfsburg
🎙️ Daniel Bauer on the upcoming match and plans for the second half of the season: "Right now, Bayern are the best team in Germany. It's a huge challenge that we're eagerly anticipating. This is arguably the toughest, yet at the same time, the easiest match of the season because the role of the favorite is clear. We understand the seriousness of the task, but we don't want to 'park the bus.' We intend to play boldly and showcase our football, regardless of the opponent's name. Our goal is clear: to earn more points than in the first half of the season. We want to build on the results of our last five games, continue developing, and play even higher-quality football. Points are crucial because success makes everything easier-both on the field and psychologically. That's why we want to start with a sense of success."
📝 During the January transfer window, Wolfsburg made one incoming transfer: central defender Clayton joined from Flamengo, having played 21 matches for the Brazilian club across all competitions. Additionally, the "Wolves" secured the rights to right-back Saël Kumbedi from Lyon, signing him to a contract until June 30, 2029. According to Transfermarkt, the transfer fee was 6 million euros.
❌ Mohamed Amoura continues to represent Algeria in the Africa Cup of Nations and won't be available for Sunday's game at Allianz Arena. Additionally, Bence Dardai, Joakim Maehle, Rogerio, and Jonas Wind will miss the match due to injuries.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Tobias Reichel has been appointed as the head referee for the match in Munich. Over his last 10 games, he has averaged 4.5 yellow cards per match. After 15 rounds, Bayern's players average 2.2 yellow cards per game, while Bauer's team averages 1.9. We're backing Bayern's individual total over 0.5 yellow card - this bet has won in 15 of Bayern's last 16 matches.
⚽ Goals Prediction
Bayern have scored at least two goals in each of their last 23 Bundesliga matches, a current tournament record. In their last 23 home games at the Allianz Arena, the hosts have also consistently netted at least twice, matching Werder's record from the 1984-1985 season. Harry Kane and company have the chance to set a new record this Sunday. Our pick is Bayern's individual total over 2.5 goals.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Bayern average 5.8 corners per match (second highest in the league), while Wolfsburg average 3.5 (the lowest in the league). We opt for Bayern's individual total under 8.5 corners - this bet has succeeded in 21 of Bayern's last 23 Bundesliga matches and in 10 of their last 11 head-to-head meetings with Wolfsburg.
Editorial Prediction
In recent years, Bayern have traditionally kicked off the year strongly after the winter break, securing victories in eight of their last ten such matches. The exceptions were a draw against Leipzig (1-1) in 2023 and a loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-2) in 2022.
Wolfsburg have never won at the Allianz Arena, with their last heavy defeat there occurring in 2021 (0-4). Moreover, the Wolves have only managed to score against the hosts in two of their last ten matches in Munich. We are backing Bayern to win with a handicap of (-2.5), anticipating a possible final score of 4-0.
