Bayern Munich – Stuttgart: Initial situation
In a matchup between two teams that share 38 titles in the German top tier, we expect nothing but a football spectacle. Coming back to the routine after a national team break can be challenging at times, especially for Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich Stats & Form
Many football fans have a hard time remembering the last time Bayern Munich was not the reigning Bundesliga champion, and if you are one of those, we got you covered—the 2011-12 season. Having such a long dominance, especially on this level, is very rare in the football world, and the Bavarians look determined to get back on the throne. Going into round 7 of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season, Bayern Munich is on top of the standings with 14 points, as many as RB Leipzig. At first glance, it seems like Bayern is on the right track, but their recent form speaks otherwise. Vincent Kompany’s team has not won in the last three games, which for a team of this level, can be labeled as a crisis. The loss to Aston Villa in the Champions League is a major bump in the road, not just because of losing points but also because Bayern will have to make things up in the elite competition, which may bring a setback at home. At the end of the day, the 1-1 home draw against the defending champion Bayer Leverkusen and the 3-3 in Frankfurt against Eintracht are not failures, so we can expect the Bavarians to pick up the pace in the upcoming period.
Stuttgart Stats & Form
There have been only five teams that have won the Bundesliga in the 21st century, and Stuttgart is among them. The last decade has been a rollercoaster ride for the team from the sixth biggest city in Germany. They got relegated to the second tier in the 2019-20 season but bounced back immediately and finished last season in second place. That success launched them into the Champions League, a competition this club and city deserve. The formula behind the positive trend is the brave moves by the team’s front office. In the offseason, they changed the offensive line with transfers of Ermedin Demirovic from Augsburg and Denis Undav from Brighton, and both moves paid off. Demirovic is the team’s leading scorer with five, and Undav follows with four goals. Stuttgart is currently eighth in the Bundesliga standings with 9 points. They are coming off three consecutive draws, against Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim in the domestic competition and against Sparta Prague in the Champions League.

Betting tip and prediction: Bayern Munich – Stuttgart (19.10.2024)
It’s been weeks since any of these teams won, and the state of emergency is present in both locker rooms. Bayern Munich is back home after a pair of visits and given the odds, is a major favorite in this one. Stuttgart has a slow start winning only two of six games so far in the season and if they want to finish in the top four teams in the Bundesliga this season, they need to step up. There is no better way to recover than playing well against the top team in the league, and Stuttgart believes they are ready for that. Based on their previous matchups, there should be an open fire on both sides, but things have changed recently. With Kompany on the bench, Bayern Munich plays more patiently and neither team will start the game aggressively. Given the odds, the 2,03 for under 3.5 goals in total looks perfect, and you shouldn’t miss that one.
