INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:
Wolfsburg desperately needs to get back on track after a disappointing 3-1 defeat at Werder Bremen last weekend. They are edging towards the relegation zone once again, after only one win from their last eight Bundesliga matches, and manager Martin Schmidt faces a difficult task in trying to improve the mentality of his expensive squad.
Bayern have an 18-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga and can afford to rest players for their Champions League campaign now. Their B team will be highly motivated to put in a strong performance as well, though, to impress manager Jupp Heynckes and push for a start against Besiktas.
Expect Bayern to try to put pressure on Wolfsburg from the outset.
