The big match in the Women's Bundesliga is coming up! On Sunday afternoon (15:00 CET), FC Bayern Women host last season's runners-up VfL Wolfsburg at the FC Bayern Campus. Read the facts and stats to see what points towards a win for FCB and which special winning run they can extend against the She-Wolves on Matchday 6.
1. Good home record against VfL
In their last six Bundesliga home games against Wolfsburg, the Munich girls have collected an impressive 13 of a possible 18 points. The last Bundesliga defeat at home to Tommy Stroot's side stretches back two years to a 1-0 reverse in November 2021. Bayern won 1-0 on home turf in the last league meeting between the two sides in March of this year.
2. Almost unbeatable on home soil
Overall, Alexander Straus' side are unbeaten in a whopping 20 Bundesliga home games, winning 19 of them. Only against Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 4 did the defending champions have to settle for a point in front of their own fans. In those 20 matches, the Bavarians have scored an almighty 76 goals and conceded just eight.
3. Meeting of strong defences
The two strongest defences in the Women's Bundesliga come up against each other this weekend. Bayern's backline, led by captain Glódís Viggósdóttir, boasts the best record in the top flight with just two goals conceded and four clean sheets. Just behind them are the She-Wolves with four goals conceded and three clean sheets. It's also a meeting of the two goalkeepers with the best save percentage in the league in FCB keeper Mala Grohs (80%) and VfL custodian Merle Frohms (78%).
4. Clash of the titans
In Bayern and Wolfsburg, the two most successful German teams of the last decade are facing off. All of the last 11 league titles have gone to one of the two clubs, with the Munich girls lifting the Meisterschale four times and the Lower Saxony side collecting seven titles.
5. FCB narrowly ahead in direct comparison
Looking at the all-time head-to-head between the two dominant teams in German women's football, Bayern are just ahead by a hair's breadth. FCB have been victorious in 17 of the 44 encounters, with VfL winning 16 times and the other 11 being drawn.
