Bayern Munich vs VfB Stuttgart 17.12.2023 Prediction: Bundesliga

Match Overview

Right on the back of beating Manchester United at Old Trafford midweek, Bayern Munich host Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena in Munich in the Bundesliga on Sunday. The home team's defensive strength is unmatched, and Stuttgart will have to play out of their skins to ensure that they do not lose track of their goal early on in the game.

Key Highlights 

There have been a total of 25 games recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which Bayern Munich have won 22. Stuttgart have only been victorious on one occasion while the rest of three matches were played out as draws. Stuttgart have been extremely poor in the past against Bayern, and this poor statistic may prevent them from doing well in this game. 

Injury Report

Both these teams have a long list of injured players in their ranks. While Bayern will have to make do without the likes of Tarek Buchmann, Serge Gnabry and Matthis de Ligt among others, Nikolas Nartey and Hiroki Ito are among some of the players not available for selection for Stuttgart.

Prediction

Bayern Munich appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game. We expect them to do so quite comfortably as well. Stuttgart's defence appears to be all over the place, and Bayern will be able to toy with them quite comfortably if they get off to a good start. Stuttgart will want to attack on the counter and try to keep possession of the ball.
