Prediction

  • Vincent Kompany's Bayern, yes that sounds a bit strange, begin their quest to reclaim their Bundesliga title with a trip to the North to play VW-backed Wolfsburg.
  • The hosts have a woeful record against Bayern in recent seasons, but stabilised towards the end of last season under ex-Southampton and Leipzig boss Ralph Hasenhüttl.
  • Bayern will be expected to win this comfortably, but go for the home side to nick a surprise draw at good odds.
