The centrepiece of the first round of the 2024/2025 Bundesliga season will be the clash between Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich. The multiple-time champion begins its journey to regain the title with an away game against the ambitious Wolves. Despite their status as clear favourites, Bayern should not expect an easy ride. Wolfsburg are renowned for their unyielding character and willingness to take on the grandees.

Odds for the match Wolfsburg – Bayern Munich

Despite the status of multiple champions, the odds on Bayern’s victory are not so low – from 1.48 to 1.592. Bookmakers see Wolfsburg as a serious opponent, capable of rattling the nerves of even such a grandee. They offer quotes in the range of 5.2 – 6.0 for a Wolfsburg victory.

The draw is estimated by bookmakers with odds ranging from 4.55 to 4.825.

Wolfsburg vs Bayern match prediction

Munich approaches the start of the championship in the rank of clear favourites – however, do not underestimate the Wolves.

The history of head-to-head meetings speaks of the total dominance of Bayern, who have won 50 of 63 matches while scoring 159 goals against 53 for Wolfsburg. Last season, the Munich side beat the Wolves twice. In the first round of the new championship, Ralph Hasenhüttl’s wards will try to break the hegemony of the grandee and prove that they are capable of equal opposition to the best of the best.

Bayern finished last season mixed, alternating wins and losses, including crashing out of the Champions League. But Munich’s attacking potential is still awe-inspiring. Experts expect a high performance from the match, offering low odds of 1.44 – 1.47 on the “top” total of more than 2.5 goals. Given Bayern’s attacking power, a bet on an abundance of goals looks justified.

Bayern are still the main favourites in the Bundesliga and will surely want to start the season with a convincing win. The Munich side is objectively better in class and selection. Wolfsburg is capable of resisting through commitment and spirit, but it will be extremely difficult to avoid defeat.

Recent official meetings

Wolfsburg

“Wolves” finished last season of the Bundesliga with mixed success, alternating victories with defeats. In the last ten matches, the team won four victories and suffered six defeats. Such results reflect the instability of Wolfsburg’s game, which certainly cannot satisfy the club’s ambitions.

Among the positives, it is worth noting the bright victories over Darmstadt 98 (3:0), Freiburg (2:1) and Werder (2:0). In these matches, the Wolves showed their potential, and ability to control the game and achieve results.

On the other hand, offensive defeats to Bayer (0:2), Borussia M (1:3) and RB Leipzig (0:3) showed the team’s vulnerabilities. In these meetings, the “wolves” lacked concentration, chemistry and the ability to cope with the pressure of strong opponents. Wolfsburg’s coaching staff will have to work on these components ahead of the new season.

Before the start of the 2024/2025 championship, the Wolves aim to find stability in results and play. The team has enough resources to challenge the Bundesliga leaders. However, for this to happen, they need to find an effective balance between their attack and defence, build understanding between the lines, and eliminate the mistakes that led to prior disappointing defeats.

Bavaria

Bayern Munich approaches the start of the new Bundesliga season with a firm intention to regain the title and prove their superiority on the domestic and international stage. Despite some setbacks at the end of the last football year, the Star of the South remain the main favourites for the national championship and a formidable force in the Champions League.

The end of the 2023/2024 season was a mixed bag for Bayern. On the one hand, the team achieved important Bundesliga victories over Wolfsburg (2-0), Eintracht (2-1), Union Berlin (5-1) and Cologne (2-0), demonstrating their usual dominant football. On the other hand, defeats to Hoffenheim (2:4) and Stuttgart (1-3) in the league, as well as elimination from the Champions League after facing Real Madrid (2:2 at home and 1-2 away), left a bitter taste.

Bayern’s main trump card is its incredible attacking power. Even in the disappointing matches of last season, Munich almost always scored, and in their best performances, they swept away the opponents’ defence. Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman – these names make any team’s defence quake. If Bayern’s star-studded attack picks up its usual momentum, it will be extremely difficult to stop it.

History of head-to-head confrontations

The history of meetings between Wolfsburg and Bayern totals 63 matches, in which the Munich side have won 50 games against a modest 4 for the Wolves. The scoring statistics are also eloquent – 159 goals for Bayern and only 53 for Wolfsburg. On average, the star of the south hits the opponent’s goal 2.52 times per game, conceding only 0.84 goals in return.

Wolves’ last victory over the grandee dates to January 2015. Last season, Munich picked up two wins – 2-1 away and 2-0 at home.

However, Wolfsburg is not the kind of team that easily accepts the role of a statistic. In the first round of the new championship, the Wolves will try to challenge Bayern’s hegemony once again and prove that they can fight the best of the best on equal terms.

Much will depend on whether Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men can withstand the champion’s initial onslaught and impose the fight in the centre of the pitch. Last season, Wolfsburg had problems with ball control and allowed their opponents to dictate their terms. Against Bayern, this scenario almost guarantees failure.
