Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction 09.05.2026 | Bundesliga

VfL Wolfsburg head into the penultimate weekend of the Bundesliga campaign in a perilous 16th position, currently occupying the relegation playoff spot and fully aware that they must overturn a daunting six-point deficit to reach automatic safety before a potentially decisive winner-takes-all showdown on the final day.

To their credit, Dieter Hecking’s side have shown admirable resilience in recent weeks to keep their survival hopes mathematically alive, putting together a three-match unbeaten streak built on defensive discipline, something that was once again evident in their hard-fought 1-1 draw against SC Freiburg last time out.

However, what was once considered a difficult venue to visit has now become a major source of concern, with the VfL Wolfsburg faithful watching their side endure the worst home record in the division, having collected a miserable return of just 10 points from 16 league matches at the Volkswagen Arena.

Hecking’s hopes of securing vital points are also being complicated by an extensive injury list, as players such as Jenson Seelt, Cleiton, Rogerio, Kilian Fischer, Maximilian Arnold, Bence Dardai and Danish forward Jonas Wind all remain sidelined through injury.

Bayern Munich travel to Lower Saxony already crowned champions, having secured a record-extending 35th domestic title to add to their illustrious trophy cabinet, although they will be eager to reassert their clinical edge after a heartbreaking midweek exit from the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain, who edged them 6-5 on aggregate.

Vincent Kompany’s side have dominated the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign in emphatic fashion, delivering a relentless statistical showcase throughout the season, amassing 83 points and a record-breaking 116 goals - averaging an astonishing 3.6 goals per game - to wrap up the title with several matchweeks to spare.

Interestingly, the Bavarians have been marginally more dominant on the road than at Allianz Arena, becoming the only team in the German top flight to remain unbeaten away from home all season, collecting 13 wins from 16 matches on their travels.

In terms of team news, German forward Serge Gnabry remains sidelined for the rest of the campaign due to an adductor injury, while Kompany may opt for tactical rotation following a demanding continental midweek encounter that left his squad physically and mentally drained.
