Stuttgart vs. Bayern Munich: Match Prediction
Sebastian Hoeneß's team continues to show lackluster performances in the league. In the last five Bundesliga matches, Stuttgart managed to defeat only Borussia Dortmund, which is still finding its form after a coaching change. Notably, the team lost both home games during this period. With such results, the club will face a tough challenge against Bayern Munich, who are racing towards another championship.
The Munich team dropped points only against Bayer Leverkusen in their last nine Bundesliga matches. In the first round, Vincent Kompany's side comfortably defeated Stuttgart (4-0), and they have won 11 of the last 12 league encounters at their opponent's ground. Bayern's only loss in this period came at the end of last season, but that Stuttgart team was much stronger and more stable than the current one.
My prediction: Bayern Munich to win
