BAYERN MUNICH PREVIEW: REKORDMEISTER FALL VICTIM TO MARMOUSH SHOW
Bayern Munich have had two weeks to stew upon throwing away two points away to Eintracht Frankfurt, following striker Omar Marmoush’s equaliser in the dying seconds. To lead multiple times but still not come away with victory was a big blow to Bayern, who have now recorded consecutive draws after they were held by Bayer Leverkusen to week prior.
With the Champions League also kicking back into gear, the entire squad of Bayern will need to be on their game with their depth expected to be tested to the max in the numerous crucial fixtures they have coming up.
STUTTGART PREVIEW: UNBEATEN LEAGUE RUN EXTENDED TO FIVE
Like Bayern Munich, Stuttgart are also coming off the back of consecutive draws and three in a row across all competitions. Their 1-1 draw at home to Sparta Prague in the Champions League was sandwiched between draws against both Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim respectively. Although they were within a whisker of defeat in the latter.
It took a 99th minute equaliser from Ermedin Demirovic to rescue Stuttgart a point, sending them into the break in high spirits ahead of arguably their toughest test of the 2024-25 campaign so far at the Allianz Arena.

BAYERN MUNICH VS STUTTGART PREDICTION
Bayern Munich have been excellent all season under Vincent Kompany and their position at the summit of the table justifies that. However, after the failure to close out victory at Eintracht Frankfurt, it will be an angry Bayern who take to the field against Stuttgart looking to put things right. Putting away a visiting side unbeaten across their last five games in the Bundesliga won’t be easy, especially without Musiala. But the strength-in-depth of Bayern make them the side worth backing.
