85th Minute:
Leroy Sané always shows good approaches, but somehow the worm is still there.
He doesn't do much.
Now he's picking up yellow for complaining.
82nd Minute:
The strong Roussillon serves Philipp, but he hits the ball in the clouds.
80th Minute:
Wolfsburg opens, there are now more rooms for Bayern.
In their attacks, however, the Munich are currently too imprecise.
75th Minute:
Musiala fits in well in Bayern's game.
With his technique he ensures that the ball stays in the ranks of the hosts longer.
73rd Minute:
The game is now slowly entering the hot phase.
Wolfsburg is getting bolder, but Bavaria is doing well.
Another 15 minutes.

Tolisso makes way for Roca, Musiala for Gnabry.
Roca and Musiala should now fix it together on the six.

The game is still open.
The guests aren't hiding, but Boateng and Alaba are better off now.
Coman counterattacked - but the fast Mbabu was there.
Marc Roca and Jamal Musiala will come to Bayern.
63rd Minute:
Wolfsburg keeps coming dangerously across the right - Mbabu serves Philipp, but Alaba stops him.
61st Minute:
Weghorst steps on Tolisso's foot from behind, at first the pictures don't look really good.
But the French can go on.

49th Minute: TOOOOOOOOOR for Bayern!
Lewandowski again!
Wolfsburg is his favorite opponent.
But at least half of the goal was due to Jerome Boateng.
After winning the ball, he sends the Pole straight up straight and the ball slips through.
Lewandowski still leaves Pongracic and completes the ice cold flat in the corner.
Bayern turned the game!
47th minute:
Niklas Süle doesn't let anything burn on his side.
Strong performance by the national player so far.
The second half kicked off!
No change to break.
Half-time
- It was an entertaining first run.
Both teams are at eye level - the score is absolutely fair.
VfL Wolfsburg plays bravely and shows its qualities on the offensive.
If FC Bayern want to win here, Hansi Flick's team has to go a step further.
The second half will be exciting.

45th minute: TOOOOOOOOOR for Bayern!
Lewandowski hits with his head.
And again the Coman Express delivers - the Frenchman pulls in and chips the ball on the far post.
Lewandowski stands there and nods.
The equalization just before half-time whistle.
43rd Minute:
Sané again with a degree.
The attempt is just over it.
41st Minute:
The game has lost some of its pace.
Wolfsburg is in good shape at the back and doesn't allow anything more.
36th Minute: The
fact that the game is getting on the nerves of Munich can be seen in how violently Lewandowski is angry about a free kick whistle.
He argues with the linesman for a minute.
34th Minute:
It's an even game.
The Wolfsburg leadership is not undeserved.
Bayern want to equalize before the break if possible - but at the moment there is no sign of that.
32nd Minute:
Bayern now know the feeling of running behind a deficit.
Still, it doesn't get any nicer.
Especially because Wolfsburg is playing a really good game.
In the last few minutes, Oliver Glasner's team fully attacked.
28th minute:
What a volley!
Arnold brings the corner to the edge of the box to Philipp, who takes the ball directly, his shot rushes just past the post.
24th minute:
After a hectic start there is now a little break.
Bayern controls the game, Wolfsburg withdraws a bit.
22nd Minute:
Sané now with a strong dribble on the left.
But in the end he takes one step too much.
20th minute:
Niklas Süle has done well in the unfamiliar position on the outside so far.
It still looks to be used to.
17th Minute:
Big chance for Lewandowski!
Müller is quick to think and serves the Poles.
But Casteels keeps his shot.
Shortly afterwards Gnabry comes completely free to the shot from 11 meters, but is blocked at the last moment.
Those were two really big things that Bayern left here!
15th Minute:
Weghorst runs up to Neuer alone, puts the ball in - but is clearly offside.
13th minute:
In the parallel game, league leaders Leverkusen are already 2-0 against Cologne.
If FC Bayern wants to stay tuned, they have to win.
10th minute:
But Wolfsburg also starts excellently.
Brekalo's shot is just over the top.
At the back, it's anything but firm at Bayern - as in the last few games.

That Manuel Neuer has to get behind him early is nothing new.
Is Bayern catching up now starting again?
The Flick-Elf puts a lot of pressure on.
Müller has a half chance.
5th minute: TOOOOOOOR for VfL Wolfsburg!
There's no such thing - FC Bayern are again behind.
Leroy Sané confused the ball in his own penalty area, Maximilian Philipp said thank you with a side puller.
The guests are in the lead!
4th minute:
Shortly afterwards, a nice attack via Gnabry and Sané - but he does not bring the ball on goal from a good position.
Rapid start of Bavaria!
2. Minute:
Niklas Süle comes after a corner to the header.
The ball goes way over it.
Kick-off!
Marco Fritz releases the ring.

Update, 8:27 p.m.:
Hansi Flick will play with a back four, as he announced before the game.

Update from December 16, 8:02 p.m.:
Did anyone at Wolfsburg expect this FC Bayern lineup?
Hansi Flick is completely changing his team - not necessarily in terms of personnel, but in terms of formation.
The kick-off is in half an hour.
Will the people of Munich overcome their little sag?
Update from December 16, 7:26 p.m.:
The
FC Bayern line-up
is here!
Jamal Musiala
first on the bench.
It looks like a back three -

isn't playing.

There are also
three wingers in the starting line-up:
Kingsley
Coman
,
Serge Gnabry
and
Leroy Sané
.
We can be curious to see how Munich will perform exactly.

The

Marin Pongracic is in the 🐺 starting XI for the first time in the current Bundesliga season!

FC Bayern - VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker: Klopp to Musiala?
Update from December 16, 7.15 p.m.:
Due to the failures of
Joshua Kimmich
and
Leon Goretzka
, the chances increase that
Jamal Musiala will
be back in the starting line-up against Wolfsburg.
Corentin Tolisso
could appear at his side
.
Either way,
Hansi Flick has to
set up an emergency midfield.
Javi Martinez
is also not available.
Musiala has now got stuck in the Bayern team and is an integral part of the squad.
This should now also be reflected in his salary.
According to rumors, the club is preparing an offer to extend the contract.
If you believe the
Daily Mail
, is also the
Liverpool
with
Jürgen Klopp
interested in the 17-year-old top talent.
FC Bayern - VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker: Wolves so far toothless in Munich
Update from December 16, 6.45 p.m.:
A bit of statistics: So far,
VfL Wolfsburg has been
to
FC Bayern
23 times
.
The wolves couldn't win any of the games - record.
No other Bundesliga team went away empty-handed for the same team so often.
In addition, FC Bayern 2020 did not suffer a defeat at home.
Tonight will tell whether these trends will continue.
At least a victory for Lower Saxony is not entirely utopian in view of Bavaria's mini-crisis.
FC Bayern - VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker: Alaba vortex before the game
Update from December 16, 4:55 p.m.:
There is still speculation about the future of
David Alaba
at
Bayern
.
Before the game against Wolfsburg, numbers have now been made public *.
They show the alleged salary development of the Austrian since 2008.
At Alaba, the signs are still more of a farewell.
In the medium term, Bayern will have to look for a replacement.
Hasan Salihamidzic
and
Oliver Kahn
already have a plan for the winter *.
First of all, the year should end in a forgiving manner in terms of sport.
Against Wolfsburg and Leverkusen, Munich want to get two wins.
We'll find out tonight whether that will succeed.
FC Bayern - VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker: Flick has to tinker with emergency midfield
Update from December 16, 12:15 p.m.:
Bayern will play their penultimate game of 2020 tonight.
What's in it against Wolfsburg?
We are already excited.
Marco Fritz will lead the game - it starts at 8.30 p.m.
First report from December 15, 5:13 p.m
.: Munich - "It's like a tear-
off calendar
," said
Hansi Flick
two weeks
ago
.
And that describes the current mood at
FC
Bayern *
probably best.
Two more games, then a short vacation beckons.
The problem: There are no opponents waiting to be beaten quickly in passing.
With
VfL
Wolfsburg *
and
Bayer Leverkusen *
, the triple winner still has two difficult tasks ahead of him.
FC Bayern - VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker: Goretzka is out - Kimmich is not yet an option
One of the reasons why the people of Munich are currently struggling is the misery of injuries.
And she doesn't want to end:
Leon Goretzka
will be out against Wolfsburg
due to a muscle injury.
In the absence of his partner
Joshua Kimmich, he had held
the midfield together to some extent.
Now Flick has to improvise even more.
New signing
Marc Roca
is arguably the hottest contender for a starting eleven - there aren't that many options anymore.
On the other hand, the astonishingly quick recovery of Kimmich *, who has already fully participated in team training, is encouraging.
But he is not yet there for the game on Wednesday, as Flick made
clear
at the
press conference *
.
Apart from the midfield, it looks good in terms of personnel.

FC Bayern - VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker: Lewandowski meets his favorite opponent
Duels against VfL Wolfsburg are special for a Bayern player:
Robert Lewandowski *
has not scored against any Bundesliga club more often than against the Wolves.
Most Bundesliga fans will remember his five goals in nine minutes in 2015.
It is the last chance for the Pole to finally
recommend
himself for the election of
world footballer
.
He could become the first player in his country to win the award on Thursday.
FC Bayern - VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker: who will stop Weghorst?
In contrast to Bayern, VfL Wolfsburg is still unbeaten.
Lower Saxony also has a dangerous striker:
Wout Weghorst
is something like the life insurance of coach
Oliver Glasner's team
.
"He's one of the best strikers in the league," warns Flick of the massive Dutchman.
Either
Jérôme Boateng
or
Niklas Süle should get it
under control.
Both have the physical requirements for this.
Are the troubled Bavarians losing feathers again in the end of the year?
In any case, the personnel situation should improve again in January - including an almost new addition *.
