Bayern Munich vs VfB Stuttgart
Bayern Munich take on VfB Stuttgart anew in what will be another enticing matchup at the Allianz Arena.
The Bundesliga defending champions may be standing tall over the rest after 25 matchdays, but they know within themselves that there’s still more work to do in order to come away with yet another German top-flight championship.
The Bavarian giants have 58 points but they are only four points clear over a streaking RB Leipzig squad who is just right behind them.
Their visitors in VfB Stuttgart, on the other hand, are steady at the eighth spot with 36 points. Moving up is the main objective for Die Schwaben and an upset here will do the trick.
Bayern Munich got the better of VfB Stuttgart previously after both teams were on undefeated streaks prior to the said game.
Similar to last November, both clubs are coming in here unscathed in their last three league games so something has to give.
Talking Points
Bayern Munich cannot afford to lose
The Bavarian giants are one step closer to their desired destination and they’ll bulldoze anyone who is in their way.
Die Bayern completed their demolition of Lazio in the Champions League to move on to the quarterfinals, while they are unblemished in three straight league games after losing a shocker to Eintracht Frankfurt last February 20.
Robert Lewandowski may have been a constant source of goals and Bundesliga 2021 highlights for the defending champions, but what makes Bayern Munich lethal is when all of their auxiliary players are clicking as well.
Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman, and Leroy Sane have been successful at the wings lately, while Thomas Muller, Joshua Kimmich, and Leon Goretzka are formidable at the midfield.
After battling injuries earlier this season, Alphonso Davies is back to his electric form, while Benjamin Pavard, Jerome Boateng, Lucas Hernandez, and David Alaba have been steady at the back.
Along with this game, Die Bayern should also take note of what will happen between RB Leipzig and Arminia Bielefeld this Friday given that the former is favoured to take home the three points.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side is hellbent on winning their first Bundesliga title in team history, which will keep Bayern Munich on their toes for the rest of their campaign.
Can VfB Stuttgart sneak into the European qualification?
Pellegrino Matarazzo is proving to be a success story for VfB Stuttgart as they are aiming for an European qualification this term.
Considering that they are in contention is already quite an achievement in itself especially since this is their first season back in the German top-flight.
However, Stuttgart still have a long way to go since they’ll have to go through the likes of Union Berlin, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Bayern Munich’s backline will have their eyes set on the dynamic duo of Sasa Kalajdzic and Silas Wamangituka as they’ve accounted for 24 goals and seven assists combined.
The scary thing about them is both are under 25 years old, which means that they are just getting started.
A key matchup to look out for is the one between Silas Wamangituka and Alphonso Davies since they are two of the fastest players in the league and both are operating at the same side of the field.
Make sure that you don’t blink for 90 minutes or else you might miss out on either one of these two speed demons.
History
Prior to Saturday evening, Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart have locked horns in 46 games.
Die Schwaben have only won nine times, while Die Bayern won 33 matches along with four draws.
In the reverse fixture few months ago, Hansi Flick’s men mounted a huge comeback en route to a 3-1 win.
Tanguy Coulibaly drew first blood for Die Schwaben in the 20th minute. However, Kingsley Coman, Robert Lewandowski, and Douglas Costa sparked the late rally with one goal apiece.

The Bundesliga 2021 odds here at SBOTOP are quite lopsided in favour of Bayern Munich.
The Bavarian giants are backed to win at 1.24, whereas VfB Stuttgart are pegged at 10.50 and a draw is at 6.00 in the 1X2 market.
VfB Stuttgart can definitely score here with a goal or two. However, their defence will be in for long night given Hansi Flick’s multiple options at the attack.
