Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich – Match preview and team news

Wolfsburg team news

VfL Wolfsburg enters this critical fixture amidst a deepening injury crisis that threatens their survival in the top flight.

Maximilian Arnold’s season has prematurely ended due to persistent groin issues.

Adding to their offensive woes, forward Jonas Wind is sidelined for several weeks with a fresh muscle tear.

The defensive unit is equally depleted, with Kilian Fischer, Rogério, and Jenson Seelt all unavailable.

However, there is a silver lining for head coach Dieter Hecking, as Vinícius Souza has been cleared to feature after shaking off a knock sustained against Freiburg.

Cleiton Santos, and Bence Dardai, both are also sidelined. Adam Daghim and Dzenan Pejcinovic are expected to lead the line.

Bayern Munich team news

FC Bayern Munich arrives at the Volkswagen Arena in a complex state. Manager Vincent Kompany must manage a squad dealing with both physical fatigue and notable injuries.

Alphonso Davies is the latest casualty, ruled out with a hamstring strain suffered in Europe, joining Serge Gnabry and Sven Ulreich on the trainer’s table.

Long-term absentees like David Santos Daiber and Cassiano Kiala also remain out. Consequently, significant rotation is expected to keep the squad fresh.

Nicolas Jackson may lead the line to give Harry Kane a rest, while Leon Goretzka and Jonas Urbig are set to start. Goretzka might be playing one of his last matches for Bayern Munich.

Michael Olise and Luis Díaz are available as well and so is Jamal Musiala but Lennart Karl and Raphael Guerreiro might start ahead of Olise and Musiala.

Form

Wolfsburg

VfL Wolfsburg is in a dire run of form, currently sitting 16th in the Bundesliga and occupying the relegation playoff spot. Their struggle is highlighted by a lack of consistency, having managed only one win in their last 15 matches across all competitions.

Recent results include back-to-back draws against SC Freiburg and Borussia Monchengladbach. With only six wins all season, “The Wolves” are fighting for survival while holding a slim goal-difference advantage over 17th-placed St. Pauli.

Bayern Munich

FC Bayern Munich has already been crowned Bundesliga champions for the 35th time, but their recent momentum took a hit. They were recently eliminated from the Champions League semi-finals following a 1–1 home draw against PSG (6–5 on aggregate). Despite this European setback, their domestic away form is historic, currently on a 25-game unbeaten run on the road. Their last league outing was a high-scoring 3–3 draw against Heidenheim, preceded by a narrow 4–3 victory over Mainz.

Predicted lineups

Wolfsburg: Grabara; Belocian, Vavro, Koulierakis; Kumbedi, Wimmer, Souza, Eriksen, Maehle; Pejcinovic, Daghim

Bayern Munich: Urbig; Stanisic, Kim, Ito, Davies; Goretzka, Ndiaye; Karl, Guerreiro, Diaz; Jackson
