Bayern Munich look to bridge the gap at the pinnacle of the Bundesliga table to just one point as they face Wolfsburg in a fiesty clash in Germany's top division.
Wolfsburg's streak of three consecutive defeats in all competitions ended as they won against Darmstadt last week. Lovro Majer scored the solitary goal for the Wolves as they finally got their win to come back into the top half of the Bundesliga table.
Bayern Munich followed up their shambolic defeat against Frankfurt with a 3-0 rattling of Stuttgart. Harry Kane was once again on the scoresheet as he bagged himself a brace and took his Bayern Munich goals tally to 24 goals in just 21 matches this season.
