Our betting tips today in this preview will come from 1xBet app and Greatodds.
BAYERN MUNICH
Despite the myriad of injury issues and illnesses that has ravaged the squad in recent weeks, Bayern have shown their tremendous depth with some stunning results. They put the final nail in Barcelona’s coffin, condemning them to the Europa League with an impressive 3-0 win before turning their focus back to the domestic front with back to back wins over Mainz and Stuttgart.
The 5-0 thrashing of Stuttgart on Tuesday at the Mercedes-Benz Arena was indeed a massive statement of their intentions to sweep aside all and sundry in pursuit the defence of their title. Serge Gnabry stepped up with a stunning hat-trick with the ever-dependable Lewandowski bagging a double to complete the rout.
The Bavarians have barely engaged top gear and yet they are already creating separation at the top. While we still have a lot of the season left to play, it is difficult to see anyone slowing down their march to a 10th successive Bundesliga title.
WOLFSBURG
After a relatively successful last season, the world seems to be caving right under Wolfsburg’s feet right now. Four straight Bundesliga losses and a Champions League campaign to forget have left many of their fans wondering whether their impressive season was worth it at all.
They finished 4th in the league last season, with just 7 losses all season. They have already picked up 8 losses halfway through this campaign and have slid into the bottom half of the table, just 3 points clear of 16th place Augsburg.
Florian Kohfeldt will push his side to turn around the corner. But that might have to wait a little longer as getting a result here against the all-conquering Bavarian giants is a herculean task.

BAYERN MUNICH VS WOLFSBURG PREDICTIONS
Bayern have been on an absolute tear at the Allianz Arena with 7 wins and a loss in their 8 home games thus far. What’s even more impressive is how devastating they have been in front of goal in this arena. They average an incredible 3.13 goals a game here and although they will be playing without their usual vociferous home crowd due to new COVID restrictions, we expect more of the same here. Greatodds Free Bet have them priced @ 1.60 to score at least 3 goals are we are picking that as the first of our Bundesliga betting tips.
Serge Gnabry has been the perfect Robin to Batman Lewandowski in recent weeks. He has stepped up to the plate in the face of the massive injuries and illnesses that have threatened to unravel their season. The hat-trick he scored on Tuesday has certainly got him feeling all confident coming into this match and we fancy him to score anytime here @ 1.93 with 1xBet Bonus for our final tip.
