Bayern Munich
- Bayern Munich have a perfect domestic record of 11 wins and one draw from 12 Bundesliga 2025-2026 matches, leaving them top of the table with 34 points and a comfortable lead at the summit.
- Vincent Kompany has implemented a dynamic 4-3-3 system that can transition into a 3-2-5 when in possession with wide overloads.
- Joshua Kimmich controls the pace of the game from deep and is a threat from set-pieces, while Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson have both scored vital late goals in recent weeks to give the team a cutting edge that other teams just don’t have.
Stuttgart
- Stuttgart’s style under Sebastian Hoeneß is to be like Bayern in that they press high and then transition quickly into their next offensive move, and this is crucial to consider for our VfB Stuttgart vs FC Bayern Munich betting tips.
- The young team are playing some great soccer and Hoeneß has the tactical flexibility to morph into a back three with the wing-backs pushing on or a 4-2-3-1 with the midfield diamond that can become a 4-3-3.
- Angelo Stiller is the engine in the middle of the field for Stuttgart, making the transitions from attack to defense and vice versa, but Deniz Undav is the main outlet in attack for the Swabians.
Head-to-Head
- Bayern have won 29 of the last 38 head-to-head meetings with Stuttgart, including a 3-1 win in Stuttgart in Feb 2025.
- A repeat of their 3-1 win over Bayern from May 2024 would be a massive boost, although Bayern won 3-1 in February 2025 and 4-0 in October 2024.
