The 24th round of the German Bundesliga kicks off with an exciting clash at the MHP Arena, where Stuttgart will host Bayern Munich. This matchup presents a promising betting opportunity with favorable odds.
Match Preview
Stuttgart enters this fixture after a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim in the previous round, which ended their ten-match run consisting of six wins and four losses. Despite this recent positive result, defensive vulnerabilities persist, as they have conceded in each of their last five league outings.
Currently, Sebastian Hoeness’s team sits in seventh place, trailing the European qualification spots by just two points. However, Stuttgart has performed notably better at home, remaining unbeaten in 20 of their last 24 Bundesliga fixtures, securing 15 victories and five draws.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, dominated Eintracht Frankfurt in their last match, securing an emphatic 4-0 win. This victory extended their impressive Bundesliga form to nine wins in their last ten matches, with just one draw. Moreover, Vincent Kompany’s squad has maintained clean sheets in three consecutive games, marking their second-longest streak without conceding this season.
At the top of the standings, Bayern holds a commanding eight-point lead over their closest competitors. Their away record also highlights their consistency, having avoided defeat in ten of their last eleven away matches (seven wins and three draws).
