Bayern Munich (home)
- Bayern Munich have a strong home record in the Bundesliga 2025-2026 with 12 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from 14 games.
- FC Bayern Munich are the clear favourites at 1.35 for Sunday’s Bundesliga clash with third-placed VfB Stuttgart, but the visitors will have enough quality and pressing power to make it a tight matchup.
- Bayern boss Vincent Kompany has got his finger on the pulse of this club after coming into the role in May 2024 and his possession-based, high-pressing system has clicked with immediate effect.
- His team are on a three-game winning streak, winning four and drawing one from their last five, and they have lost only once on their own turf.
- Bayern have won both of their most recent matches, winning 3-2 away at Freiburg and 5-0 away at St. Pauli to show the firepower they have at their disposal.
VfB Stuttgart (away)
- VfB Stuttgart sit third in the Bundesliga with 56 points from 29 matches - three wins, two defeats from their last five Bundesliga games.
- But it will not be plain sailing for Kompany’s side as VfB Stuttgart have sharpened their vertical transitions and counter-pressing since Sebastian Hoeneß took over as head coach in April 2023.
- They will play a disciplined 4-2-3-1 and press the ball aggressively in a bid to get behind Bayern’s high line.
- They beat FC Augsburg 5-2 away from home before falling 2-0 at home to Borussia Dortmund, then beat Hamburger SV 4-0 at home last weekend.
- The addition of Chris Führich and Serhou Guirassy has given Hoeneß more movement and a few other attacking focal points, particularly when in transition.
Head-to-Head
Stuttgart haven’t won an away game against Bayern Munich in recent encounters and that trend looks unlikely to change in this matchup.
Key Players
- Kompany’s men have Harry Kane as their talisman and he has scored 31 goals in 26 Bundesliga matches this season.
- They also have Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sané to supply and complement their attack, so there will be no lack of talent on the field when they run out at the Allianz.
- Deniz Undav (18 goals in 25 Bundesliga games) is their main striker and he will always offer a threat, having scored three goals in his last five appearances.
Betting Insights
We’re taking the odds of 1.38 for both teams to score as a smart bet with ‘Over 2.5 goals’ coming in at 1.25 , so there’s not a lot of value there either.
Prediction
We’re going for Bayern Munich to win the game and expect plenty of fireworks too.
