Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich: match preview
Wolfsburg are enduring a disastrous campaign, and their chances of remaining in Germany’s top flight are hanging by a thread. The side currently sit 16th in the table with 26 points after 32 rounds. They trail the team in 15th place by six points with only two matches remaining in the Bundesliga season. As a result, Wolfsburg need to win both remaining fixtures and hope their direct rivals slip up. However, that task looks extremely difficult, especially against Bayern Munich. To make matters worse, Wolfsburg are only ahead of the team in 17th place on goal difference and sit just three points above bottom spot, meaning their Bundesliga status remains under serious threat.
Bayern Munich have already secured the Bundesliga title and are now simply playing out the remainder of the season. Vincent Kompany’s side have collected 83 points after 32 matches and possess the league’s most devastating attack with 116 goals scored. Earlier this week, Bayern were involved in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, where they were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain. They lost 5-4 away from home before drawing 1-1 on home soil, exiting the competition 6-5 on aggregate. The Bavarians still have one major fixture ahead, however, as they will face Stuttgart in the German Cup final on May 23.
Probable lineups
- Wolfsburg: Grabara; Belocian, Vavro, Koulierakis; Kumbedi, Wimmer, Souza, Eriksen, Maehle; Pejcinovic, Daghim

Prediction
Wolfsburg must do everything possible to salvage their season and preserve their Bundesliga status. To achieve that, they need a result against Bayern, who will also be eager to return to winning ways. My pick for this match is a Bayern Munich victory.
