Stuttgart vs Bayern Munich predictions: Can Bayern be dominant after recent blips?
Key stats
- The hosts have just one victory from their last four Bundesliga matches (W1, D1, L2).
- Stuttgart have won their first five home matches in the Bundesliga for the first time since the 1992-93 season.
- Bayern Munich have conceded the opening goal in three successive league encounters.
- Bayern Munich have scored 2+ goals in 20 consecutive Bundesliga matches.
Correct score prediction: Stuttgart 1-4 Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich have been exceptional since the start of the season, a situation which has resulted in the Bavarians leading the table by eight points over their nearest challenger RB Leipzig.
While Bayern Munich have shown signs of relapse in recent games, they still have the much-needed quality to stroll past any opposition in the German topflight. However, their recent streak of conceding goals can not be overlooked, and their fierce attack, we reckon Bayern Munich will win with a 4-1 scoreline.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bayern Munich are the favourites
- HOME: 19/4 (5.75) – 17.4%
- DRAW: 17/4 (3.25) – 19.0%
- AWAY: 4/9 (1.44) – 69.2%

Leaders Bayern Munich have been installed as the favourites by the bookies. That hardly comes as a surprise, with Vincent Kompany's team proving their mettle time and again.
The Bavarians have odds of 4/9 (1.44), which invariably means that there is a 69.2% chance for the visitors to emerge victorious on Saturday. The home side, on the other hand, are priced at 19/4 (5.75), which implies a lowly 17.4% for the hosts to win.

Player to watch: Harry Kane
After 14 goals in 12 matches, Harry Kane is showing no signs of slowing down, and he is carrying the goal burden of the Bavarians. Going to a ground where his team has enjoyed a lot of success, the English striker will be licking his lips at the prospect of adding to his tally.
