Wolfsburg won't have fond memories of playing at the Allianz Arena...
Two years ago, Robert Lewandowski came on at half-time and made history. It took the Polish striker less than ten minutes to score five goals and turn a 1-0 deficit into a 5-1 win for Bayern, and ironically perhaps, Bayern and Wolfsburg will met yet again at the Allianz Arena on the exact same date. Lewandowski is expected to be again leading the line, albeit Pep Guardiola is no longer in charge, and many of the players who featured for Wolfsburg on that day are no longer with the squad.
Carlo Ancelotti, with one eye on the team's upcoming trip to the Parc des Princes to face PSG next week is expected to rotate the squad somewhat, but as noted before, Lewandowski will likely start. Manuel Neuer has been ruled out for the rest of the year after having to undergo surgery on his re-injured foot, which certainly is a major blow for their European campaign, but the team has very much gotten back on track after their shock 2-0 loss to Hoffenheim a couple of weeks back, with solid 4-0 and 3-0 wins over Mainz and Schalke to move within one point of first-placed Borussia Dortmund.
As for Wolfsburg, they haven't won a game since August 26th, when they narrowly defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0. Since then, they have picked up just two points from their last three fixtures and are missing two key players - American international John Brooks as well as star striker Mario Gomez for this game, making an already tough task that much more daunting.

Match Facts & Stats
- Borussia Dortmund have won 10 of their last 11 home matches against Borussia M.Gladbach in all competitions
- Borussia Dortmund have scored at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 home matches
- Borussia Dortmund are undefeated in their last 36 home matches

Could M'gladbach be a stumbling block for Dortmund?
So far, Borussia Dortmund have yet to concede a goal in the Bundesliga. However, die Schwarzgelben have seen reigning champs Bayern creep up behind them and will likely come into this game with the Bavarian titans ahead of them in the league table, as they're expected to defeat Wolfsburg. Although they have won the majority of their recent home fixtures against Borussia M'gladbach, Peter Bosz's men will already be somewhat distracted due to their upcoming crunch UCL clash with Real Madrid coming up next week.
Having lost 3-1 to Tottenham on matchday one, Dortmund are in a tough spot, knowing that they now need to get something out of their fixture against the current UCL title holders in order to have a good shot at qualifying from their tough quartet. That could see Bosz opt to rotate somewhat here, albeit with quite a few players out injured, he won't be able to rest as many players as he would like. Meanwhile, Gladbach finally earned their second win of the season by beating Stuttgart and will be hoping to finally become the first team to score agianst Dortmund - and at Signal Iduna Park.
