Prediction

Bayern Munich are winless in their last three games and now this chance to end their winless streak has come against a side who are eight in the table. This will be a great chance for Vincent Kompany’s side to finally secure a win and avenge their previous defeat against Stuttgart. Although the visitors will also pose a threat, we feel Bayern will get enough home support and should prevail in this match.

Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-1 VfB Stuttgart
