Stuttgart vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Stuttgart are 15th in the Bundesliga, one point ahead of 16th-placed Augsburg. After an impressive 2020/21 season, Stuttgart have struggled to get going this time around, although they have won two of their last three league games.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are top of the league table, six points ahead of 2nd-placed Borussia Dortmund. Their dominance has become the norm now, with few surprised with their continued excellence both domestically and in the continent.
Bayern Munich will be the favourites to win here.
Prediction: Stuttgart 0-2 Bayern Munich
