Last May, we saw Stuttgart claim a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich thanks to two late goals from the substitutes although they previously lost 3-0 at the Allianz Arena in December. We’re intrigued to see how they perform this weekend, with the team recently thrashing Borussia Dortmund by a 5-1 scoreline.
This was followed up by a 2-2 draw at Wolfsburg before a disappointing Champions League draw against Sparta Prague. They were then held to a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim, although it’s four games unbeaten since losing 3-1 at Real Madrid and we shouldn’t forget that they were close to getting a point from that game.
Even so, facing Bayern Munich away is one of the toughest tasks in European club football, with the Bavarian side opening with six straight victories although they have since struggled to get wins on the board. Vincent Kompany’s side were held to a 1-1 draw by Bayer Leverkusen before a 1-0 Champions League defeat at Villa Park was followed by a 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.
We’re expecting this clash to be high-scoring and it’s a view shared by the bookmakers, with Over 2.5 Goals regarded as a virtual certainty. You will also find a short price about both teams scoring and the best bet of all could be a Bayern win and both teams to find the net, with the alternative being to back the powerhouse to lead at half-time and full-time.
