Wolfsburg take on the visitors Bayern Munich in the round 16 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 20th at Volkswagen Arena (Wolfsburg).
Wolfsburg are attempting to return to the top of the season, remembering well that they finished in the top 4 under Glasner. However, since parting with Oliver even before the start of the Champions League performances, they have been unable to find a worthy successor. Neither Niko Kovac, who has been working since last season, nor anyone else seems to fill that void, and the discussions are getting louder. Kovac worked in the previous season, and it was not enough to catch up with Bayer and Eintracht, who finished in 6th-7th position in the Bundesliga. It seemed that the Wolves could progress further, but they are currently experiencing limited success. Moreover, one of their notable achievements in the cup against RB Leipzig was nullified by an exit after a 0-1 loss in Monchengladbach against Borussia. In the Bundesliga, they had a good start with a couple of wins but then alternated successes with Union and Eintracht, along with defeats. However, from the second half of autumn, there were only occasional successes (2-2 with Werder, 2-1 with RB Leipzig), amid numerous setbacks, sliding down the standings. Fortunately, they managed to end with a 0-1 victory against the newcomer Darmstadt.

Bayern did not improve in the fall compared to the spring failures. The Southern Star also cannot find a coach as effective as Flick, with whom they achieved the treble. Nagelsmann, who was not cheaply lured from RB Leipzig, was not allowed to finish even the second season, and his mid-spring resignation surprised no one. After that, Tuchel arrived, quickly leaving with new charges from both the country's cup and the Champions League. Dortmund's Borussia simply handed them the silver salad bowl due to their own stupidity, finishing the last-round match in a draw. New failures also accompanied them in the fall. It can be argued whether the fans were more shocked by the 0-3 defeat in the Super Cup against the strong RB Leipzig, the exit against the third-division Saarbrucken, or the 1-5 loss to Eintracht in the Bundesliga. Only in the Champions League were the Germans impressive, winning all six matches. However, they recently defeated the sensational Stuttgart 3-0 with another Kane brace.
In 10 out of 11 recent head-to-head matches, the record champions emerged victorious. Only in May of last year did the Wolves manage a 2-2 draw at home. Niko Kovac will likely struggle against his former players. We bet that the guests from Munich will win with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to win with -1.5 handicap.
