VfB Stuttgart – Bayern München

Stuttgart host Bayern in a clash that pits the league’s 14th‑placed side, with just three points from one win and two defeats, against a Bayern outfit sitting fourth with seven points, unbeaten in three games. The home team has struggled offensively, managing only six goals while conceding eight, whereas Bayern boast a solid 7‑2 goal difference, reflecting their balanced attack and stingy defence. Stuttgart will be desperate to turn their poor run around and close the gap on the relegation zone, while Bayern look to consolidate their position in the upper half of the table. The encounter offers Stuttgart a chance to exploit Bayern’s occasional lapses, but the Bavarians’ unbeaten record suggests they enter the match as clear favourites.
