A solid defensive team
So far, Bayern’s defence has been outstanding, as they have conceded three goals. Bayern have impressed this season, in terms of goal scoring ability, with 17 (16 from open play and one penalty) so far. This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers – Sadio Mane (3), Jamal Musiala (3), and Joshua Kimmich (2).
Bayern are missing two players through injury or illness. This will affect Julian Nagelsmann’s selection choices significantly.
Stuttgart’s campaign so far has seen them accrue four points this season
Stuttgart have been inconsistent in their previous two games, drawing 1-1 at Schalke and 0-0 at FC Köln, so a win in this fixture must be the focus.

Now they have 0 matches won, 1 games lost and 4 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in twelfth place, with a total of four points having drawn four fixtures and lost one game.
Stuttgart will travel to Bayern with a win record on the road that is quite unremarkable, with two darts.
Winning this fixture will see Stuttgart on 7 points.
