Stuttgart will host league leaders Bayern Munich at MHPArena in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Bayern have won 11 of their 12 league games and have a 12-point lead over the hosts.
Die Roten suffered their fourth defeat of the league campaign last week, as they lost 2-1 away at Hamburg. Deniz Undav continued his fine form as he bagged a 54th-minute equalizer, but Fábio Vieira scored the winner for Hamburg in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
They bounced back with a 2-0 away win in their midweek DFB-Pokal round of 16 clash against Bochum. They took the lead in the 12th minute, thanks to Philipp Strompf's own goal, while Undav doubled their lead in the 47th minute.
Trending
The visitors have won their two games since suffering their first defeat of the season to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League last month. They defeated St. Pauli 3-1 in the Bundesliga and overcame Union Berlin 3-2 in the DFB-Pokal. Harry Kane was on the scoresheet in the 24th minute, while they benefited twice from own goals.

Stuttgart vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Die Roten have a 100% home record across all competitions, scoring at least two goals in five of the seven games. They have won just one of their last 13 meetings against Bayern, with that win coming at home in 2024.
Ermedin Demirovic, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Luca Jaquez, Justin Diehl, and Yannik Keitel remain sidelined for the home team.
Die Bayern have dropped points just once in the Bundesliga this season, as they were held to a 2-2 away draw at Union Berlin in November. They have scored at least two goals in 11 of their last 12 league meetings against the hosts.
Jamal Musiala is the only confirmed absentee for the visitors, while Alphonso Davies is expected to miss this match and be available against Mainz. Aleksandar Pavlović was injured in the DFB-Pokal and is a major doubt.
The league leaders have an impressive record in recent meetings against Stuttgart, and, considering their current goalscoring form, they should be able to register a comfortable win.
