- Bayern have won their last three matches against VfB Stuttgart in all competitions.

Bayern and Stuttgart look set for an open game
Bayern Munich will be looking to continue their winning run at home when they host VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Friday night at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
The Bavarian giants have won eight, drawn one and lost only one of their 10 matches in all competitions in the 2026-2027 campaign to date, while Stuttgart come into the game having won five, drawn three and lost two of their 10.
Die Bayern have not lost at home in any competition this season (3 wins, 1 draw) and their recent three wins have come in the shape of a 2-1 home win over Aston Villa, a 3-1 home success against RB Leipzig and a 4-2 away victory at Heidenheim.
Stuttgart have also been solid in the opening months of the new campaign, coming off back-to-back matches that saw them beat Everton 3-1 at home before losing 1-0 away at Fulham.
Die Bayern to maintain their dominance
Die Bayern have owned this fixture in recent seasons, winning the last three head-to-head meetings in all competitions. The most recent clash between the sides took place three months ago in the DFB Pokal 2025/2026 where Bayern ran out 3-0 winners.
Stuttgart have not won their last away game against Bayern in any competition and they may struggle to break that hoodoo on Friday, although they should be able to avoid defeat.
Vincent Kompany's side have a few different tactical variations, but the common threads in all of them are to press high, build up through central overloads and turn turnovers into quick strikes.
Sebastian Hoeness' men play in flexible shapes depending on the situation, but they are aggressive counter-pressing and fast vertical transitions.
This tactical matchup looks set to be a high-tempo and intense clash between Bayern's controlled possession game and Stuttgart's direct approach, so it should be a game of two halves.
The home side have been ruthless in front of goal at the Allianz, averaging 2.75 per game in all competitions while conceding just once (1.00 per match on average), so they will be expected to dictate the tempo and edge another win.
But Stuttgart have been just as ruthless in attack away from home, having scored 27 goals in their seven away games to date in all competitions, so they should get plenty of chances to score.
Stuttgart can score against Die Bayern
Our only playable odds for the 90 minutes is to take over 2.5 goals at 1.25, which seems very fair considering the attacking thrust and counter-attacking nature of both sides.
Bayern are odds-on to win at 1.28, with Stuttgart listed at 8.6 and the draw at 5.9, but we will avoid the home team and take Stuttgart to avoid a defeat with a double chance bet instead.
