Can free-scoring Bayern Munich extend remarkable home record against Wolfsburg?

Bayern Munich enjoyed a spectacular first half of the season, entering 2026 with 13 victories and two draws, and a +44 goal difference. Resuming their Bundesliga campaign against Wolfsburg at the Allianz Arena, Germany’s record champions will look to extend two unbeaten records.

As Vincent Kompany’s men look to widen their gap to second-placed Borussia Dortmund, Harry Kane and Co. will also look to prolong their unbeaten streak at home against Sunday’s opponents.

Free-scoring Bayern - having netted 55 strikes in 2025/26 - have not lost any of their 28 Bundesliga home games against Wolfsburg, chalking 26 wins and two draws.

It’s a record that stretches back to 1997 when the Wolves were promoted to Germany’s top flight. Remarkably, no other team in Bundesliga history has played so many games at home against a single opponent without losing.

Watch: Bayern won the most recent meeting in Munich 3-2 last January

You have to go back more than a decade to search for perhaps the most memorable fixture between the two clubs, when Robert Lewandowski’s legendary five-goal feat after coming off the bench in September 2015 set multiple new world records.

The Pole scored three goals in three minutes and 22 seconds, four in five minutes and 42 seconds and had his fifth after eight minutes and 59 seconds - all of this taking place between the 51st and 60th minute. No player - and certainly not a substitute - had ever achieved this in the long history of the Bundesliga.

Generally a meeting which returns plenty of goals, with both 2024/25 games finishing 3-2 in Bayern’s favour, you have to go back to September 2017 for the last time Wolfsburg almost got their first league win at the Allianz Arena.

From 2-0 down, strikes from Maximilian Arnold and Daniel Didavi snatched a draw in Munich after first-half goals from Lewandowski and Arjen Robben gave Bayern a commanding lead.

Watch: Wolfsburg snatch a rare point at Bayern

You have to go back a further 25 years for Wolfsburg's only other away result in this fixture, played at the Olympic Stadium in Munich.

After winning each of their first four games at home in 2001/02, Claudio Pizarro and Giovane Elber put the hosts 2-0 up inside 17 minutes, but Tomislav Maric and stunned the home crowd either side of half-time. After Pizarro restored Bayern’s lead, Maric fired in from long range to earn Wolfgang Wolf's Wolves a first-ever point in the Bavarian capital.

Naturally, meetings between Bayern and Wolfsburg return a bundle of goals with entertainment all but guaranteed. Kompany’s side will look to extend their unbeaten streak at the Allianz Arena but Wolfsburg, rebuilding under Daniel Bauer, will look to claim their first away win against Germany’s record champions.
