Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich will face Wolfsburg on Sunday when they travel to the Volkswagen Arena in their first game of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season.
The home side finished 12th with 37 points from 34 games last term, while the visitors ended the campaign in third with 72 points and were dethroned by Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen.
We say: Wolfsburg 0-5 Bayern Munich
Although it is too early to make any conclusions about Kompany as manager, it would not be surprising if his side comfortably won on Sunday given how much additions such as Palhinha and Olise add to the side.
Additionally, if Wolfsburg perform similarly to last season, then they could struggle on the weekend and throughout 2024-25.

Newly-promoted St Pauli are set to play their first Bundesliga game of the season on Sunday when they face Heidenheim at Millerntor-Stadion.
The home side won the 2. Bundesliga in 2023-24 and were promoted with 69 points from 34 games, while the visitors finished eighth in the top flight with 42 points.
We say: St Pauli 1-3 Heidenheim
Given the uncertainty surrounding St Pauli since the departure of Hurzeler, it would not be surprising if the hosts dropped points in their opening game of the campaign.
Additionally, Heidenheim come into Sunday's clash off the back of a confidence-boosting win in the Conference League qualifiers, and they should be favourites this weekend.
