Game: WOLFSBURG vs BAYERN MUNICH
Type: ITALIAN SERIE A
Date: 8 March, 2009
PREVIEW
Clash of the titans as Wolfsburg, who have surprised many with their scintillating form throughout the season, seeks to overhaul surprise leaders Hertha Berlin when they host direct rivals Bayern Munich. Spearheaded by playmaker Misimovic, the home team have been dishing the brand of attacking football that has caught the eyes of many. With a scoring average of 2.72 goals per match at home, they have turned the Volkswagen Arena stadium into a fortress and remains unbeaten here.
Visitors Bayern will be wary of the threat that Wolfsburg poses, and will likely employ a more defensive approach to this game. Unbeaten in their last 4, Bayern knows that a win here will return them back to the top while stopping the home team on their tracks. Conceding only 11 goals in total away from home, they will be confident to pull the plugs on Wolfsburg.
KWIK STATS
HOME > WOLFSBURG
AWAY > BAYERN MUNICH
THE PICK
Both Wolfsburg and Bayern knows that any mistakes made at this juncture of the season will cost them the title. Thus, i'd expect the two teams to play with caution, and i'd recommend UNDER 2.5 GOALS as the most probable result. After all, past head-to-head records have yielded similar low-scoring results.
