Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich prediction 20.12.2023

• Competition: Bundesliga
• Date: Wednesday, 20th December 2023
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK/20:30 CET
• Venue: Volkswagen Arena (Wolfsburg)

Wolfsburg is right where many anticipated they would be this season &— mid-table. After 15 rounds of league play, they’ve accumulated 19 points, leaving them five points short of the European Cup spots. Niko Kovac’s squad hasn’t been turning heads recently with only two victories in their last seven matches across all competitions. This past weekend, they managed to scrape by with a 1-0 victory over Darmstadt on the road. Despite their lackluster performance, one well-executed attack was enough to secure all three points.

Despite always aiming high, Bayern Munich is currently not leading the Bundesliga, trailing four points behind Bayer Leverkusen, with a game in hand. This comes as a surprise given that Thomas Tuchel’s team has triumphed in six out of the last eight matches. In their most recent match, they recorded a 3-0 victory against Stuttgart at their home ground. The home side had an expected goal (xG) value of 2.88 compared to Stuttgart’s 0.18, making it unsurprising that Tuchel’s team claimed another win.

Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich pick: Under 3.5 goals

Wolfsburg has only managed to net one goal in their recent three matches, compared to Bayern Munich’s six goals in their last five games. Given the lackluster offensive performance from both teams recently, betting on less than 3.5 total goals is likely the safest wager for this match.
