Back in September, Bayern Munich welcomed Wolfsburg to the Allianz Arena, and after 45 minutes, the visitors were enjoying a 1-0 lead. However, nine minutes later they were down by five goals - and in a evening that die Roten fans will surely never forget - all these were scored by Robert Lewandowksi in a performance that earned the Polish striker several records, including the fastest hat-trick, fastest poker, and most goals scored by a substitute.

The visit of Bayern Munich could not come at a worse time for Wolfsburg, as Dieter Hecking's squad have been hit by a vicious flu virus. Earlier this week, over ten first-team players were unable to attend training due to either illness or injury, and in their past two meetings with die Roten, they have been outscored by a total of eight goals to two (including a recent 3-1 loss in the DFB Pokal).
In total, the hosts have scored 32 goals. The two strikers they will be tasked with stopping - the aforementioned Lewandowski and Thomas Muller - have netted 39 between them alone, and more discouraging for Hecking's side is the fact the two men have scored all ten of Bayern's goals since the Bundesliga resumed action last month.
Still, despite the dire situation their team are currently facing, some fans may take hope. Firstly, die Wölfe are currently unbeaten in 32 out of their last 33 home matches in the Bundesliga. And moreover, it was in this same fixture last season that Wolfsburg not only handed Bayern their first defeat of the season, but managed to shock the reigning Bundesliga champions by routing them 4-1. However, given their injury and illness issues, they will obviously face a tough test in trying to repeat that same performance as the two sides meet at the Volkswagen Arena tomorrow afternoon.
Bayern Munich
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola's side will be coming into this game having experienced some frustration in their Champions League tie mid-week. Die Roten were sitting on a comfortable two goal lead over Juventus and all seemed to be going into their favor before the Bianconeri mustered an impressive fight-back to equal the scores, thus leaving everything to play for when the two sides meet again for the second leg in Munich next month.
With an eight-point gap over Dortmund in the league, Bayern's chances at least retaining their Bundesliga title look pretty solid, but the Spanish tactician surely would not have been pleased with seeing his team throw away a vital two-goal lead in their most recent match. As such, the ex-Barcelona coach, who will be leading Manchester City next season, will expect a much better performance from his men as they hope to maintain their comfortable lead over the chasing pack.
Bayern enjoy the massive historical advantage when it comes to their head-to-head record over Wolfsburg - with 11 wins out of their past 13 meetings across all competitions. In addition, the visitors have all but three out of their last 23 games in the Bundesliga. Regarding absentees, Jerome Boateng, Javi Martinez, Holger Badstuber are all still out due to injury and Rafinha will miss out as a result of a ban.
