Bayern Munich vs VfB Stuttgart Prediction
Recent Form
Home Team
Bayern 2–1 Dortmund
Bayern 3–1 Leipzig
Heidenheim 2–4 Bayern
Bayern 2–1 Aston Villa
Bayern 2–1 Tottenham
Bayern are in fine form from preseason and if there is anything we know about Vincent Kompany's men, it is goals.
So far, this season, they have been winning and scoring goals which is a sign of an over 1.5 goals possibility and a win for them at home.
Away Team
Hansa Rostock 0–4 Stuttgart
Stuttgart 2–2 Paris FC
Stuttgart 0–1 Fulham
Stuttgart 3–1 Athletic Club
Stuttgart 8–1 Hoffenheim
Stuttgart has a good form as well. They only fell short to Premier League opposition in Fulham. Aside that and the draw against Paris FC, they too have a thirst for goals.
Head-to-Head
Bayern 3–0 Stuttgart
Bayern 4–2 Stuttgart
Stuttgart 0–5 Bayern
Stuttgart 1–2 Bayern
Stuttgart 1–3 Bayern
Historically, this match has gone the way of Bayern and they have managed 4 goals in their last five meetings, failing to score in 2 as against Bayern's 14 goals.
Key Statistics
Bayern have won their last five matches and scored 13 goals across that sequence. They have also scored in 56 consecutive competitive matches, giving them an extremely reliable attacking floor.
Stuttgart's recent five have produced 17 goals for and five against, so they are capable of contributing offensively.
The bigger statistical concern is their ability to maintain defensive structure against Bayern's sustained possession and pressing.
Team News
Bayern are without Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, Bryan Zaragoza, Lennart Karl, David Santos Daiber and Tarek Buchmann.
Musiala remains sidelined following his neurological issue, while Gnabry continues his recovery from an adductor problem.
Stuttgart's injury list is considerably longer. Lorenz Assignon, Nikolas Nartey, Dennis Seimen, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Leo Sauer, Luca Jaquez, Justin Diehl and Jeremy Arevalo are unavailable.
Nartey picked up a hamstring injury in the Pokal, while Seimen is expected to be out until at least late September.
Prediction Analysis
Bayern has got a superior squad, home advantage, and greater attacking depth.
My forecast for this game is over 1.5 goals as I believe Bayern should score a lot of goals.
