2021-2022 Bundesliga Week 17: Match Previews
Bayern Munich continue to show their superb form in the Bundesliga while Dortmund are reducing the point gap with the leaders.
Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg
Bayern completed a perfect Champions League group-stage campaign earlier this month with a 3-0 win over Barcelona, and they have since added two more Bundesliga victories, defeating Mainz 2-1 on December 11 and Stuttgart 5-0 on Tuesday night.
Julian Nagelsmann's team extended their advantage at the top of the table to nine points with a treble from Serge Gnabry and two goals from Robert Lewandowski at Mercedes-Benz Arena.
Second-placed Dortmund now have a game in hand on Bayern, but the German champions are on a roll, having won their previous four league games since losing 2-1 at Augsburg on November 19 against Arminia Bielefeld, Dortmund, Mainz, and Stuttgart.
Der FCB has not been flawless in the Bundesliga this season, but they are comfortably in first place, and it will take an extraordinary effort to prevent them from earning a 10th league title in a succession.
Bayern will be optimistic about their chances of winning the Champions League this season, as they were given a favorable draw in the round of 16 with Austrian side RB Salzburg.
Wolfsburg, on the other hand, is coming off a 3-2 home loss to FC Koln on Tuesday, with Anthony Modeste snatching all three points in the final minutes for the visitors.
In fact, Florian Kohfeldt's side has lost six consecutive games in all competitions, and they haven't won since a 1-0 win over Augsburg in the Bundesliga at the start of November.
They have dropped to 11th place in the table after four straight league losses to Dortmund, Mainz, Stuttgart, and Koln, and are only four points ahead of Augsburg, who have a game in hand.
Wolfsburg's Champions League group-stage campaign similarly ended in disappointment, with the team finishing bottom of Group G with five points after losing their final two games to Sevilla and Lille.
Wolves finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season, losing only seven of their 34 games, but they have already lost eight league games this season and appear to be out of contention for a top-four spot at this point.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-0 Wolfsburg
Hertha vs Dortmund
Hertha Berlin will be looking for a better outcome after losing 4-0 to Mainz in their previous encounter in Bundesliga 1.
Hertha Berlin hasn't conceded in recent games on a very rare occurrence. The fact that Hertha Berlin's defense has been breached in 5 of their past 6 games, allowing 10 goals, will be a source of concern for them. However, that pattern will not necessarily continue in this game.
Borussia Dortmund will enter the match on the back of a 3-0 Bundesliga 1 victory over Greuther Furth in their most recent match.
Borussia Dortmund has scored a total of 15 goals in their last six games. Every single one of those games has also resulted in a goal for Borussia Dortmund. During that time, their defense has allowed 8 goals to be scored against them.
Prediction: Hertha 1-2 Dortmund
