Bayern host a dangerous Wolfsburg on Sunday with Vincent Kompany warning of Wolfsburg’s attacking threat. Manuel Neuer is set to return while Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala, Sacha Boey and Phonzy Davies remain unavailable. Betting angle: Bayern likely favourites to win but expect goals — consider Bayern to win with both teams to score or over 2.5 goals given Wolfsburg’s recent scoring form and Bayern’s unsettled midfield.
Bayern vs Wolfsburg: Match preview and injury update
Vincent Kompany insists Bayern Munich are ready to return to Bundesliga action against a dangerous VfL Wolfsburg side. Kompany warned that Wolfsburg are a strong attacking team who "always dangerous in front of goal" and that Bayern must be prepared for their strengths while pushing their own game.
Team news: who’s available?
Manuel Neuer is expected to start if training goes well, giving Bayern a major boost between the posts. Key absences include Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala, Sacha Boey and Phonzy Davies. Kompany stressed Kimmich’s desire to return quickly but confirmed that Musiala is not ready for this match despite positive training progress.
Tactical outlook
Wolfsburg’s recent goal return makes them a threat on the break and from advanced positions, so Bayern will need to control possession and exploit width to avoid being exposed. Neuer’s presence helps Bayern’s defensive stability, yet midfield gaps from Kimmich and Musiala’s absences may limit Bayern’s creative edge and increase reliance on wing play and set pieces.
Betting implications
With Neuer back but Bayern light in midfield, expect a competitive game with scoring chances for both sides. Punters might favour a Bayern win given squad quality, but Wolfsburg’s attacking form supports markets like "Both Teams To Score" or "Over 2.5 Goals." For safer play, consider Bayern to win + BTTS as a value option; more conservative bettors could back Bayern outright with reduced stake.
