Wolfsburg welcomes league leaders Bayern Munich to their home ground as they continue their march towards one of the places that guarantees them participation in next year's European competitions. Bayern Munich, which is certainly the favorite in this match, will try to end the streak of 3 tied games in the new year. Wolfsburg started this year really well and in the first two matches they won 6-0 against Freiburg and 5-0 against Hertha. But after that, there were two defeats in a row, which certainly in a certain way slowed down the team a little. Those two convincing victories can serve as a very good warning to all the teams in the league, and above all to Bayern, who are really not playing the way we are all used to lately. Wolfsburg certainly has a team that can take advantage of the slightly worse moment in which the leader is at the moment. They play some of their best games at their home stadium, where they have only one defeat in 8 games played so far. Like most German clubs, they play very offensively and it can be said that they have a lot of success in that, considering that they are the fourth most efficient team in the league. Good news for all fans of the home team is the return to goal of the team's first goalkeeper Koen Casteels. Another player worth mentioning is the young Norwegian Jonas Wind, who scored three goals in the last three league matches and made good use of the absence of the first Wolfsburg`s striker, Nmecha.

As I already said, Bayern Munich has not looked like itself in the last few games and something needs to be changed urgently. An indication that things are getting better at Bayern is an excellent game against Mainz in the cup where they won 4-0. But in league matches, Bayern really leaves a bad impression. Unexpectedly, Sadio Mane's absence from the team seems to have a lot of influence on the game of this team. Although they have players in their ranks who can replace him like Gnabry, Sane and Coman, it does not give too much success at the moment. As rarely in the last few seasons, Bayern does not dominate the league and the race for the first place is very exciting because the difference between the 1st team in the table and the 6th is only 5 points. Bayern are currently in second place, two points behind and this kind of pressure is something completely new for all Bayern players. With the arrival of Cancelo from Manchester City, they got a top player who can really harm the opponents with his penetrations, as we could see in the match against Mainz. In that match, their coach decided to play with three defensive players, with Davies and Cancelo as wings in the middle of the field, and a similar formation should be expected today. As in attack, Bayern is not so dominant in defense either. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last seven Bundesliga games, and if we take into account the way Wolfsburg plays, especially at home, it is really not unrealistic to expect the home team to score one or even two goals. Choupo-Moting missed the team's last training session due to stomach problems and the question is how ready he will be for this game. I expect a very open game from both sides, Bayern is the favorite in this match, but I honestly think that Wolfsburg is not without chances in this match and that it will be very difficult for the guests to win with more than one goal difference.

沃尔夫斯堡欢迎联赛领头羊拜仁慕尼黑来到他们的主场，他们将继续向保证参加明年欧洲赛事的一个地方进军。在这场比赛中，拜仁慕尼黑无疑是最受欢迎的球队，他们将在新的一年里努力结束3场平局的纪录。沃尔夫斯堡今年的开局非常好，前两场比赛他们分别以6-0和5-0战胜了弗赖堡和赫塔。但在那之后，他们连输两场，这在某种程度上肯定会让球队慢下来。这两场令人信服的胜利对联赛中的所有球队来说都是一个很好的警告，尤其是对拜仁来说，他们最近真的没有按照我们都习惯的方式踢球。沃尔夫斯堡当然有一支球队，他们可以利用这个稍微糟糕的时刻。他们在自己的主场打出了一些最好的比赛，到目前为止，他们在主场的8场比赛中只输了一场。像大多数德国俱乐部一样，他们踢得非常有进攻性，可以说他们在这方面取得了很大的成功，考虑到他们是联赛中第四高效的球队。对所有主队球迷来说，好消息是球队第一门将科恩·卡斯特尔斯的回归。另一位值得一提的球员是年轻的挪威球员乔纳斯·温德，他在最近三场联赛中打进三球，并充分利用了沃尔夫斯堡第一前锋恩梅查缺阵的机会。

正如我已经说过的，在过去的几场比赛中，拜仁慕尼黑看起来并不像自己，一些事情急需改变。在与美因茨的杯赛中，拜仁以4-0的比分取得了一场精彩的比赛，这表明拜仁的情况正在好转。但在联赛中，拜仁确实给人留下了不好的印象。出乎意料的是，萨迪奥·马内的缺阵似乎对这支球队的比赛产生了很大的影响。虽然他们有像格纳布里、萨内和科曼这样的球员可以取代他，但目前还没有太大的成功。在过去的几个赛季中，拜仁很少在联赛中占据主导地位，对第一名的争夺非常令人兴奋，因为积分榜第1名和第6名之间的差距只有5分。拜仁目前排名第二，落后两分，这种压力对所有拜仁球员来说都是全新的。随着来自曼城的坎塞洛的到来，他们得到了一个真正可以用他的突破伤害对手的顶级球员，正如我们在与美因茨的比赛中所看到的那样。在那场比赛中，他们的教练决定使用三名防守球员，戴维斯和坎塞洛在中场担任两翼，今天应该也会出现类似的阵型。和进攻一样，拜仁在防守端也不是很强势。他们在过去7场德甲比赛中有6场没有保持零封，如果我们考虑到沃尔夫斯堡的打法，尤其是在主场，期待主队进1球甚至2球真的不是不现实的。乔波-莫廷因胃病缺席了球队的最后一次训练，问题是他在这场比赛中准备得如何。我希望双方都能打一场非常开放的比赛，拜仁在这场比赛中是最受欢迎的，但我真的认为沃尔夫斯堡在这场比赛中并不是没有机会，客队很难在超过一个净胜球的情况下获胜。
