Bayern Munich Predicted Lineup vs VfL Wolfsburg<\/h2>\n

In their 5-0 midweek demolition of relegation-threatened TSG Hoffenheim, the Bavarians started as follows: Manuel Neuer was in goal with a back four consisting of Raphael Guerreiro, Dayot Upamecano, Eric Dier, and Alphonso Davies.

Last but not least, Leroy San\u00e9, Thomas M\u00fcller, Kingsley Coman, and Harry Kane made up the front four. This means that coach Vincent Kompany made four changes to his starting 11 of the weekend.<\/p>\n

He brought Guerreiro in at right back and took out centre-back Kim Min-jae for Upamecano, who returned from suspension. In midfield, he rested Leon Goretzka in favour of Pavlovic.<\/p>\n

In the offensive line, Kompany moved San\u00e9 to the right, while resting Michael Olise and giving Coman the start on the left.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n

Since their lone Bundesliga loss to Mainz 05, Bayern have won all four of their competitive fixtures. At his pregame press conference, Kompany warned<\/a> about Wolfsburg\u2019s physicality along with their overall quality, which certainly could put Bayern\u2019s 4-2-3-1 formation to the test.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n

Sacha Boey, Joao Palhinha, Daniel Peretz, and Hiroki Ito remain out injured. Kompany assumed that Josip Stani\u0161i\u0107 would be back in the squad, adding that the Croatian international required \u201cpatience because he lacked preparation\u201d due to having been injured for practically the entire season so far.<\/p>\n
