"Following the humiliating defeat away to Barcelona midweek, Bayern travelled to their eternal rivals VfL Wolfsburg for a top-of-the-table clash. Bayern's only league loss last season was in this same fixture, and have often struggled in the Autostadt barring the shock 0-4 win two seasons ago. Wolfsburg had started the season in a very similar vein to Bayern, with their solitary draw being a 3-3 thriller away at Hamburg"
"Head Coach José Barcala made three changes to the Starting XI from the battering midweek; both Guilia Gwinn and Glódis Perla Viggósdóttir started in defence ahead of Magdalena Eriksson and the injured Carolin Simon, and Linda Dallmann started in place of Lea Schüller in attack. As a result of the defensive changes, Kett was shifted to left-back and Gwinn started in her natural position."
"Luckily, from a Bayern perspective at least, the match started out as a 50-50 brawl. There were some fears in the fanbase before the game, understandably following the battering midweek, that Bayern may spiral even further. You definitely could tell some of the confidence had been knocked out of the Bayern players, resulting in a number of sloppy giveaways in defensive areas."
Bayern travelled to VfL Wolfsburg after a humiliating midweek defeat to Barcelona. Wolfsburg had begun the season similarly to Bayern but arrived off a heavy UWCL loss to Paris Saint Germain. Head Coach José Barcala made three changes to the starting XI, inserting Guilia Gwinn, Glódis Perla Viggósdóttir and Linda Dallmann and shifting Kett to left-back. The match began as a 50-50 brawl. Bayern displayed signs of shaken confidence and committed several sloppy defensive giveaways. In the 14th minute an errant pass by Bühl allowed Zicai to cross to Popp whose header flashed wide.
