Last season's top two will go head to head in what promises to be a scintillating encounter. The Bavarians comfortably won the league last season, with second placed Wolfsburg finishing 19 points behind the defending champions.
However Spanish tactician Pep Guardiola has insisted that their counterparts on Tuesday can mount a serious title challenge this time around.
"Wolfsburg have invested a lot recently. People wanted a competitor for Bayern and not just they are there," Guardiola said.
"We know [Wolfsburg's] quality and their style of play. But, as usual, it's all about the three points."
The Spaniard will be reunited with former Bayern Munich defender Dante who sealed a summer move to Wolfsburg. Guardiola insisted that he would have loved to keep the defender at Bayern but also claimed that he wanted him to be happy.
"I want my players to be happy," Guardiola added. "I would also be satisfied if he had stayed because he helped me a lot."
Bayern have made a perfect start to the season and have won all five league matches so far. They were against Darmstadt last time out in a match, Bayern won by a 3-0 score line. Chilean international Arturo Vidal scored his first Bundesliga goal for Bayern, with Coman and Rode adding two goals in as many minutes to give the defending champions an easy win.
Bayern head into this match in impeccable form but have failed to beat Wolfsburg in the last two meetings between the two sides. The match finished 1-1 when the two teams met in the Super Cup in August this year, with Die Wölfe winning the match on penalties.
Their last league meeting resulted in Wolfsburg running riot as they recorded an emphatic 4-1 victory.
Bayern will be hoping to welcome Polish hit-man Robert Lewandowski back to the squad. The 27 year old has scored thrice in four league appearances and has been an integral part of the Bayern Munich set up. The Bavarians however are certain to be without the likes of Franck Ribery (ankle), Arjen Robben (groin), Mehdi Benatia and Holger Badstuber (both thigh).
Wolfsburg on the other hand have doubts over Luiz Gustavo and Robin Knoche, Veirinha however could return to the squad.
