Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg prediction and betting tips on January 18, 2025

Game Prediction

On January 18, 2025, the 18th round of the German Bundesliga will feature a match between Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg. As always in Munich, the home side is expected to secure a convincing victory, but the visitors will aim to surprise Vincent Kompany unpleasantly.
Our prediction for Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg
The "Star of the South" was the biggest disappointment of last season. Despite being favorites in all competitions and strengthening their squad with prolific striker Harry Kane, they failed to win a single trophy! Wolfsburg also struggled for another consecutive year. They hired Ralph Hasenhüttl, finishing the season in 12th place.
Last season, Hasenhüttl was given the chance to adjust to the team "under live conditions," with expectations deferred to the new campaign. However, this strategy hasn't significantly improved results. Wolfsburg ended 2024 with six wins and six losses but impressed in the cup by eliminating Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim. After the break, they started with a narrow 1-0 victory over Hoffenheim in the league, followed by a spectacular 5-1 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
In Munich, an unexpected summer appointment saw Vincent Kompany take charge. Although he has already experienced an early cup exit and painful defeats in the Champions League, including a 1-2 loss to Mainz, Bayern went into the winter break as clear Bundesliga leaders. In January, they extended their winning streak with a narrow victory over Mönchengladbach and a resounding win against Hoffenheim.
The league leaders boast impressive stats. Kane and company average over three goals per game while conceding less than 0.8 per match. Wolfsburg’s games are also action-packed, averaging more than 2.2 goals scored and nearly 1.975 goals conceded per match.
