Bayern Munich travel to the Volkswagen Arena to face Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, arriving in Wolfsburg just days after their Champions League exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
Vincent Kompany's side were eliminated on a 6-5 aggregate scoreline, with the Bayern head coach publicly criticising handball decisions that he felt cost his team dearly across the two legs. The defeat will sting, but the Bundesliga remains — and Bayern, sitting top of the table, have a title to wrap up.
Wolfsburg sit 16th in the standings, deep in the relegation battle, and will be desperate for points. Their recent form has been inconsistent, mixing draws and defeats with the occasional win, and they face a Bayern side that, despite the European disappointment, will not want to drop points at this stage of the season.
For Bayern, the focus now shifts entirely to domestic matters. Kompany has spoken about the positive direction the club is heading, and his squad — though missing several players — carries enough quality to impose themselves on a struggling Wolfsburg side.
The hosts will take confidence from their surroundings. The Volkswagen Arena has not always been a comfortable place for visiting sides, and Wolfsburg will look to use that to their advantage as they fight to preserve their top-flight status.

Form
Wolfsburg have won one, drawn two, and lost two of their last five Bundesliga matches. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-1 draw against Freiburg, and they were held goalless by Borussia Moenchengladbach the week before. Their heaviest result in that run was a 6-3 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen. Across five matches, they have scored six goals and conceded ten.
Bayern's last five matches span three competitions. They drew 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on May 6 — a result that ended their European campaign on a 6-5 aggregate — and drew 3-3 with FC Heidenheim in the Bundesliga three days earlier. They have won two of their last five, including a 3-4 victory at Mainz and a 0-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal. Their only defeat across that five-match run came in the Champions League first leg against PSG, losing 5-4.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these sides took place on January 11, 2026, when Bayern Munich beat Wolfsburg 8-1 at home in the Bundesliga. Across the last five head-to-head fixtures, Bayern have won four and Wolfsburg one — that solitary Wolfsburg win coming in a 1-0 home victory in December 2023. Bayern have scored 16 goals across those five matches; Wolfsburg have managed six.
