Bundesliga Matchday 1, Sunday, 25.08.2024 at 15:30
The German champions opened the 2024/25 season on Friday evening – and it’s actually not FC Bayern!
A lot is new at the Isar, and it’s definitely not going to be easy to incorporate all that into my Wolfsburg Bayern tip, which could lead to a more successful round.
Now they start the new season on Sunday and of course it’s clear: they want to strike back, send exclamation marks to the competition right from the start.
The first opponent is one that the record champions are very fond of: VfL Wolfsburg. Historically speaking, and I’ll go into this in more detail, nothing can really go wrong here, which is why I’m also backing an away win by at least two goals.
The Wolfsburg Bayern odds are clear with an average of 6.10 to 1.45, but FCB’s lead has been bigger in the past.
Can it really be the favorite opponent from the Autostadt that causes a crisis even before the record champions really get going?
In my Bayern Wolfsburg prediction, I will now try to analyze both teams in detail in order to reveal the betting options for you based on the findings
The prediction of the betting providers?
Betting on an outright Bayern win? That hardly works in 90 percent of cases if you want to achieve profitable odds. This time, however, things are a little different, as the odds are still just under 1.50.
The fact that Wolfsburg is being given odds of 6.10 is by no means surprising. Anyone who hasn’t won a game against FC Bayern since January 2015 simply has to live with being the crass underdog.
A draw would be a great success for the Wolves, who have scored exactly two points in their last 22 matches.
If you want to take this risk with our German bookmakers, you can look forward to odds of 4.70 on the Wolfsburg FC Bayern betting tip
KI prediction Wolfsburg vs Bayern: This is what ChatGPT is betting on.
From now on, you can also get an overview of ChatGPT’s opinion on every Bundesliga match. We also asked the AI about the match between Wolfsburg and Bayern, and it suggested some very interesting options.
The low risk refers to the pure away win. I fully agree with this, as Munich’s performance in the cup was strong and the direct comparison is more than clear.
The Wolfsburg Bayern AI prediction is slightly higher risk if it bets on an over 3.5 goals. But it could be! In recent years, the Wolves have kept up well in their home games against FCB, scoring most of the time.
What’s more, six of the last eight duels in the VW Arena have featured more than three goals
We’re taking much more of a risk by saying that the first goal of the game will come from Jamal Musiala! Since he didn’t score in Ulm, I’d be a little more cautious here. Thomas Müller, on the other hand, has already scored 15 times against VfL, plus twice in Ulm, including an assist.
I could imagine him starting from the beginning and scoring straight away. Incidentally, Oddset gives Wolfsburg Bayern odds of 9.25 – higher than Musiala (7.00)!
Of course, I also have suitable boost offers for you. If Bayern get off to a flying start, you can get the right odds boost at Bet365. A 3:0 win for Bayern is offered with increased odds of 13.0.
Matching this: If Bayern striker Harry Kane scores at least twice, the odds also rise to a crisp 5.00 at Bet365.
And Bwin is also focusing on a successful FCB performance. If Bayern are leading at half-time and win the game at the end, there are boosted odds of 2.35.
Analysis: Wolfsburg vs Bayern
FC Bayern have won the league title eleven times in a row. No matter how weak their own performances were, the competition was never able to capitalize on them. It was a frustrating eleven years for the Bundesliga, but then Bayer Leverkusen came along!
Bayern fans, listen up: the gap was 18 points at the end, and on the last matchday VfB Stuttgart also overtook them. There’s a lot to criticize, so I’ll start by quickly praising the 94 goals scored
Defensively, there was a figure that hadn’t been seen for ages: 45 goals conceded, compared to 24 for Leverkusen! I’ll also say something about the away record, as the new season starts away from home.
Six defeats, 33 goals conceded, 23 in 2024 alone? Suddenly the record champions were welcomed everywhere! But enough of the ranting, after all, Bayern want to quickly show that they can actually do better
Quota analysis
Naturally, a number of Wolfsburg Bayern tips are suitable for a duel that has already taken place 61 times. A handicap is always to be expected between Bayern and Wolfsburg, eight of Munich’s last eleven wins have been by at least a two-goal margin. That’s why I think the 0:1 HC at odds of 2.18 makes sense.
In Ulm, Bayern showed what they’re made of right from the start. I can imagine that they will also want to make an exclamation mark in the Bundesliga and say: An FCB lead at half-time. The corresponding odds are 1.93.
Harry Kane is of course back in focus. After losing the European Championship final, he wants to get his frustration out of his system and scored in Ulm immediately after coming on as a substitute. If he also scores in Wolfsburg, there’s still a 1.60 in it
Wolfsburg vs Bayern odds: Will a Müller goal pay off?
The new coach is Vincent Kompany, but not everyone agrees yet on what style he can impose on the team. Michael Olise is the king transfer, with Joao Palhinha right behind him.
Hiroki Ito also arrived from Stuttgart, but he’s out injured. While I’m on the subject of the personnel situation, I’d also like to mention that Josip Stanisic, who returned from Leverkusen, has also been affected.
Munich won 4:0 against SSV Ulm in the DFB Cup and didn’t show any weakness at all. Thomas Müller scored twice and set up Olise, who also got his first assist
Does the series against Wolfsburg continue?
Müller is a hot goal candidate for me on Sunday anyway. He’s already scored 15 times against Wolfsburg, plus 17 assists – making the Lower Saxons his absolute favorite opponent!
So my advice is to bet on another goal at Sunmaker and take the odds of 3.50.
Incidentally, FCB last opened the scoring against Wolfsburg in 2014 and 2010. What happened? Exactly, Müller scored!
Somehow, VfL Wolfsburg would naturally like to prevent this streak from continuing. Ralph Hasenhüttl, who only arrived towards the end of last season, has big plans
Big things? We’re certainly not talking about a 1-0 win against Koblenz in the DFB Cup! VfL had a very difficult time there, and such a performance will definitely not be enough against Munich. A real shot on goal? More than alarming!
So I take a look at the Wolfsburg Bayern predictions, according to which the Wolves will remain goalless on Sunday and see odds of 2.55 at Bwin.
Curious: A few days before the cup, it was still possible to play 4:4 against Brentford
Just a year ago, the season had started with three home wins in a row, but since the opponents back then were Heidenheim, Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt, it was a bit easier!
And there’s something else VfL Wolfsburg won’t like: The fact that Munich haven’t lost an opening game since 2011.
My Wolfsburg Bayern prediction:
FC Bayern and the 2024/25 season, it’s a big unknown. New coach, new players, everything is still a bit open. But the performance in the cup was very decent, Wolfsburg are definitely ahead of them.
VfL cheated their way to a 1:0 nail-biting win against Koblenz and also know that the direct comparison against FCB delivers truly horrendous figures. That’s why I can’t avoid an away win.
Offensively, the visitors haven’t lost any quality, but the last few years in Wolfsburg have allowed one or two goals to be conceded. All in all, I don’t think it’s going to be boring here and I’m betting on it:
Bayern win the game by at least two goals
