Table-toppers Bayern Munich will be looking to end their 2021 on a positive note when they host VfL Wolfsburg at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. The Bavarians will also look to make it seven consecutive wins in all competitions, as the defending champions mounted a perfect Champions League group-stage campaign with a dominant 3-0 win over Barcelona earlier this month. Since then they have registered two more domestic league victories, beating VfB Stuttgart 5-0 on Tuesday night, beating Mainz 2-1 last weekend. Although Black and Yellow have not been perfect in the Bundesliga, their recent form has put the club at the top of the Bundesliga table before match day 17.
Meanwhile, Florian Kohfelt's coach Wolfsburg has slipped to 11th place with 20 points. They have not emerged victorious since a 1–0 win over Augsburg in the Bundesliga in early November and are currently on a six-match losing streak in all competitions. They will have to put in incredible efforts to prevent Bayern from winning this match.
