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
Solid backline: The defence, led by captain Glódís Viggósdóttir and Magdalena Eriksson, have conceded just two goals in the current Bundesliga season.
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
