SC Freiburg scored 2 goals and beat Hamburger SV. There was another competitive game that ended in a draw, too, which was Union Berlin vs Mainz. There was one game where the entire stadium was cheering. There has never been a game in this entire Bundesliga season. The Bayern vs Wolfsburg match was the one, the score gap wasn’t high or huge. The score gap was so large that there was no comeback, nor did the fans expect one from Wolfsburg.
Wolfsburg’s form is good, their offense is great, and they have decent defense, too. But Bayern’s offense is the one that made the highlight. They scored 8 solid goals, and Wolfsburg could not even score a single goal. Nearly every single goal was scored by different players. Everyone in Bayern delivered an explosive performance, and their attacking strategy was completely impenetrable for Wolfsburg. They won the game with a score of 8-1.

Upcoming Fixtures:
Wolfsburg vs FC St. Pauli
Team VfL Wolfsburg will clash against the FC St. Pauli team on Matchday 17 of 34 in the Bundesliga 2025-26 season. Set to take place on January 14, 2026, at the Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg.
Wolfsburg’s recent form hasn’t been that great; their last game against Bayern was humiliating. Having a defense that is so weak that it gave up 8 goals in a single game is worse. Their comeback is unlikely to take place. On the other hand, FC St. Pauli and their recent games were inconsistent; they lost a few and won only one game in the last 5, but they had a draw in their last Bundesliga game too.
Predictions
Even though both teams are in poor form. The Wolfsburg looks better than the FC St. Pauli. The damage Bayern did to Wolfsburg was huge; it takes longer time for them to recover from it. But the current form of FC St. Pauli is even worse. As of now, Wolfsburg is more promising, and their defensive depth is stronger than that of FC St. Pauli. Expect a slower game from both teams, barely one of 2 goals, not going to end in a draw. Expect Wolfsburg to secure the win
RB Leipzig vs SC Freiburg
Team RB Leipzig vs SC Freiburg will take place on Matchday 17 of 34 in the Bundesliga 2025-26 season. This clash will occur on January 14, 2026, at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig, Leipzig.
RB Leipzig faced Leverkusen in the last game, which was controlled by Leverkusen, and RB Leipzig lost the game. RB Leipzig sits in the top 3 in the table, yet they are being inconsistent in the game. On the other hand, the SC Freiburg scored 2 goals against Hamburger SV. Hamburger SV got instantly pressured, and SC Freiburg took advantage of it and won the game.
Predictions
RB Leipzig might be at the top and have a great lineup. But SC Freiburg and their current form are stronger. They are on a 2-game win streak; on the other hand, RB Leipzig is on a 2-game losing streak. It is obvious that SC Freiburg is going to dominate. But the game could be turned and could end in a tie, but it needs a bit more effort from RB Leipzig. Otherwise, SC Freiburg will win the game. SC Freiburg is more anticipated to win the upcoming game.
Köln vs Bayern
The 1. FC Köln will face FC Bayern Munich team on Matchday 17 of 34 in the Bundesliga 2025-26 season. Confirmed to take place on January 14, 2026, at the RheinEnergieStadion.
Köln’s recent game against Heidenheim ended in a draw. Also, Köln hasn’t won a single game in the last 5 games. Most of them are draws or losses. On the other side, Bayern is dominating; their gameplay against Wolfsburg caught all the fans’ attention. Their 8-goal win just made everyone realize Bayern’s full potential. Overall, Köln is inconsistent, but Bayern is at its prime.
Predictions
Expect Bayern to attack early; they will try to score more goals in the early stage. Kölnwill try to hold things back and try to remain resilient. They could, but not for too long; the Bayern attack is unmatched. Expect a fast-paced game; this game is going to be a goal fest. Köln’s performance could not bring down Bayern’s attack, but they could slow down the game by putting more effort into defense. Bayern will win the upcoming Bundesliga game against Köln.
Hoffenheim vs Mönchengladbach
The TSG 1899 Hoffenheim vs the Borussia Mönchengladbach on Matchday 17 of 34 in the Bundesliga 2025-26 season is another upcoming game that is set to take place on January 14, 2026, at the PreZero Arena, Sinsheim.
Hoffenheim faced VfB Stuttgart in their recent game, which ended in a goalless draw. Even though the VfB Stuttgart was leading and making some dominant moves. They weren’t able to score a goal. On the other hand, Mönchengladbach clashed against Augsburg in the recent game; this game was purely under the control of Mönchengladbach. They scored 4 goals and won the game.
Predictions
Mönchengladbach is in good form; they just got back into their momentum. They did have a few inconsistent games recently. But they are recovering and getting into form. Hoffenheim is not going to win this game; their current position is just going to make them relegated. Expect Mönchengladbach to win the upcoming game.
Augsburg vs Union Berlin
FC Augsburg will face the 1. FC Union Berlin on Matchday 17 of 34 in the Bundesliga 2025-26 season. This clash will take place on January 15, 2026, at the WWK ARENA, Augsburg.
Augsburg lost their recent game against Mönchengladbach; they haven’t scored a single goal in the game. Augsburg did attempt multiple shots, had great pass accuracy, and good gameplay, but Mönchengladbach did not slow down. On the other hand, Union Berlin has had a draw against Mainz, both teams scored 2 goals, and ended in a draw. The recent form of Union Berlin is better than that of Augsburg.
Predictions
Union Berlin does have good form. They haven’t lost a game in the last 3 games. Meanwhile, Augsburg only won 1 game in the last 5 games. Augsburg form is not very promising. Expect Union Berlin to take control over the game. This game could start slowly; Union Berlin would need some time to read their opponent. A slow start with constant pressure could be expected from Union Berlin. Expect Union Berlin to win the upcoming game.
