Team News

  • Holger Badstuber will most likely start at left-back, with Dante filling in for him at centre-back because David Alaba and Diego Contento are still injured.
  • Javi Martinez could start alongside Luiz Gustavo, with Bastian Schweinsteiger possibly getting a rest.
  • Arjen Robben could be rested, with Franck Ribery returning to the starting eleven.
  • Mario Mandzukic and Claudio Pizarro compete for the spot up front.
  • Wolfsburg manager Magath will probably start with a 4-2-1-3 system again, with Diego as the main playmaker.
  • Simon Kjaer and Thomas Kahlenberg could start in defensive midfield, although Wolfsburg have several options in this position.
  • If Bas Dost starts up front, Ivica Olic could switch to the wing.

Prediction

  • Bayern are in top form after four wins in a row and certainly are heavy favourites to regain the title this season. Manager Heynckes has a very strong squad to pick from.
  • After two draws against lesser teams on paper, Wolfsburg are in need of a result against a stronger team now. It remains to be seen if they can trouble Bayern at the Allianz Arena, though.
  • Expect Bayern to dominate the game from the outset. They should be clear favourites at home.

  • FC Bayern München ‏@FCBayern
    Line-up:
    Neuer
    Lahm, Boateng, Dante, Badstuber
    Martinez, Schweinsteiger
    Robben, Shaqiri, Ribery
    Mandzukic

  • @Schweinstylin Martinez will probably start as it is an easier home game...

  • STARTING lineups:
    FC Bayern:

    Neuer – Lahm, Boateng, Dante, Badstuber – Gustavo, Martínez – Müller, Kroos, Ribery – Pizarro
    ( ribery doubtful)

  • Martinez is not yet ready to play in Schweini's role, therefore Schweini will mostly likely play along with Gustavo.
