Wolfsburg Form & Balance Check
Wolfsburg will try to make up for last season’s disappointing performance in the upcoming season. The signing of coach Ralph Hasenhüttl prevented relegation. Under his leadership, Wolfsburg won four games in eight matches and secured 12th place, saving them from relegation. Wolfsburg are unbeaten in three games.
In their last DFB Cup match, Wolfsburg narrowly won 1-0 against TuS Koblenz. Wimmer scored the only goal of the game in the 15th minute and not much happened after that. The result could easily have been higher from Wolfsburg’s point of view, as the conversion of chances was catastrophic. Out of 18 shots on goal, only two found their way into the net. Despite being outnumbered from the 78th minute onwards, Wolfsburg were unable to dominate and ended the game with a narrow 1:0.

Bayern Form & Balance Check
Bayern Munich had to relinquish the championship trophy to Leverkusen after eleven years, but with new coach Vincent Kompany, the Bavarians want to seize power again. They have played a strong preparation, winning six of their last seven games and one ending in a draw. Bayern exude a positive aura that will be dangerous for many teams in the Bundesliga.
They have scored an impressive 31 goals in those seven games, which is exactly how we know the record champions. They beat SSV Ulm 4-0 in their last DFB Cup match, a perfect start to the season, and Bayern have not rested after their DFB Cup win. Five days before the start of the league, they played a friendly match against Grasshoppers Zurich, which they also won 4:0. It is this dominance that FC Bayern Munich is known for and which they intend to show again
Top newcomers
In order to bring the championship trophy back to Säbener Straße, the people in charge at FC Bayern Munich have made targeted purchases. This season’s record transfer is Michael Olise, who was signed for €53.00 million and has already scored one goal and provided one assist in two games for FC Bayern. Joao Palhinha came from Fulham FC for 51 million euros and strengthens the defensive midfield, which was a construction site last season.
Hiroki Ito joins FC Bayern from VfB Stuttgart for €23.50 million and is set to take over the center-back position left vacant by Matthijs de Ligt’s €45 million move to Manchester United. Bryan Zaragoza will play in left midfield for FC Bayern Munich from the coming season. He joins the Bavarians from Girona for 13.00 million euros
Bayern facts & analysis

Wolfsburg will line up in a 3-4-1-2 formation, with the three central defenders and the defensive midfield designed to stabilize the defence and give Bayern little space. The attacking wingers and the attacking midfielder will initiate targeted counter-attacks.
Bayern will play in the classic 4-2-3-1 formation, which gives them a strong presence in midfield and on the wings, while two defensive midfielders provide additional cover. Tel, Olise and Sané are available on the bench and will certainly be used in the second half to provide additional impetus and further control the game
