Since their lone Bundesliga loss to Mainz 05, Bayern have won all four of their competitive fixtures. At his pregame press conference, Kompany warned about Wolfsburg’s physicality along with their overall quality, which certainly could put Bayern’s 4-2-3-1 formation to the test.
Bayern Munich Injuries to Consider
Sacha Boey, Joao Palhinha, Daniel Peretz, and Hiroki Ito remain out injured. Kompany assumed that Josip Stanišić would be back in the squad, adding that the Croatian international required “patience because he lacked preparation” due to having been injured for practically the entire season so far.
