Robert Lewandowski may be facing off against the Bundesliga's stingiest defence, but the Bayern Munich striker has every reason to think he will find the net when Wolfsburg visit on Saturday.
Lewandowski has been in vintage form this season in the 2019-20 Bundesliga, scoring 19 goals.
In 16 matches this season, Wolfsburg have conceded just 16 goals - three lower than Lewandowski's current total as the Bundesliga's winter break approaches.
If history is any guide, however, the tally is set to rise higher given the Pole's knack for finding the net against the Wolves, who are officially Lewandowski's favourite Bundesliga opponent.
In 18 games against the green and whites, Lewandowski has found the back of the net 21 times, including his remarkable five goals in nine minutes against them in September 2015.
That feat was all the more impressive because he had come off the bench with Bayern behind 1-0.
When he scored Bayern's opener against Freiburg in midweek, Lewandowski overtook club legend and former coach Jupp Heynckes to move to third on the all-time Bundesliga goal-scoring list with 221.
