Two clubs looking to return to form will do battle today in a glorified friendly between VfL Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich. The match scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET will be held at Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Deportes.
What They're Saying
Wolfsburg manager dieter Hecking (via Yahoo Sport): "We have no offer from Manchester City [for Kevin De Bruyne]. No offer from anybody. Full stop. There is nothing from my side to say, there is no official offer in to Wolfsburg. He has been very good with me. I'm not here to talk about contractual matters. He has no clause, but that isn't a question for us."
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola (via Sky Sports): "This is the first and the last time that I will talk about it. I am coach of Bayern. I am grateful to be here. I have not yet decided what the best thing for the club is, but I am doing my best and I will do my best. I have not decided yet. Maybe Effenberg, who was a great legend for Bayern, knows more about it than me. Maybe I should give him a call."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Douglas Costa is one of the new weapons at Guardiola's disposal this season. The 24-year-old provided four goals in 20 appearances with Shakhtar Donetsk last season.
Wolfsburg's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Benaglio; Rodriguez, Klose, Naldo, Vieirinha; Arnold, Guilavogui; Schurrle, Bruyne, Caligiuri; Kruse
Bayern Munich's Projected Lineup (3-4-3): Neuer; Alaba, Boateng, Rafinha; Bernat, Alcantara, Alonso, Lahm; Costa, Lewandowski, Muller
