Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Wolfsburg are 13th in the Bundesliga, and if certain results go their way, they can finish the season as high as 10th. It has been a season of inconsistencies for Wolfsburg, and it will be interesting to see how they plan for next season.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are the Bundesliga champions yet again. Despite their domestic success, criticism has been aimed at some of their performances this season. The future of star striker Robert Lewandowski will likely dominate the summer transfer window, with the Poland international heavily linked with a move to Barcelona recently.

Bayern Munich to win.

Prediction: Wolfsburg 1-2 Bayern Munich
