Stuttgart vs Bayern Prediction

🔊 Can Stuttgart extend their home winning streak in the clash against Bayern? Sebastian Hoeneß's side have triumphed in all seven matches at the MHP Arena since the start of the season, yet they still enter the game as clear underdogs. The Munich powerhouse continues to confidently lead the league, despite facing significant defensive issues. We anticipate a high-scoring encounter – here's why in our prediction.

Head-to-Head

📊 The clubs kicked off the German season with the DFL-Supercup, where the reigning national champions proved stronger than the Cup winners: Bayern clinched a 2-1 victory. Harry Kane opened the scoring in the first half, and Luis Diaz doubled the lead in the second. In stoppage time, Jamie Leweling managed to narrow the deficit.

Stuttgart Team Overview

⚪ Sebastian Hoeneß's team traveled to Hamburg last round, aiming to defeat the Bundesliga newcomers and extend their unbeaten streak to five matches. However, the Swabians went into halftime trailing by a goal. Early in the second half, Deniz Undav leveled the score, netting his seventh league goal. Stuttgart created more opportunities and had better chances, but a poorly executed free-kick in stoppage time led to a swift counterattack by the hosts, who capitalized on a rare chance to snatch victory (1-2). As a result, Stuttgart dropped to sixth place, ending their four-match unbeaten run across all competitions.

🏆 By Wednesday, the Swabians shifted their focus to the German Cup Round of 16, traveling to Bochum to defend their title. Stuttgart secured a confident victory (2-0), exploiting mistakes from their Second Bundesliga opponents: first with an own goal by the hosts, followed by a sending-off that Deniz Undav capitalized on early in the second half. Undav is in outstanding form, amassing 12 points (9 goals and 3 assists) in his last nine matches.

Bayern Munich Team Overview

🔴 Bayern scored twice in stoppage time to secure a victory over St. Pauli in the 12th round (3-1). The match started on a challenging note as the visitors took an early lead in the sixth minute, but Raphael Guerreiro equalized before halftime. Despite struggling to find the net against the Hamburg side, Vincent Kompany's squad broke through in added time with goals from Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson, clinching three points for the Munich team. Leipzig, sitting second in the table, dropped points, extending the reigning champions' lead to eight points.

🏆 On Wednesday, the Munich team traveled to Berlin for their DFB-Pokal Round of 16 clash against Union Berlin. It's worth recalling that in their 10th-round encounter, they narrowly escaped the capital with a draw (2-2). The upcoming game proved equally challenging, even though Bayern led during the match. Before halftime, they scored three times, all from set pieces—two were own goals, and Harry Kane claimed one. However, Bayern conceded twice, both from penalties. Nonetheless, they held on for the win and advanced to the quarterfinals (3-2).

Stuttgart

🎙 Head coach Sebastian Hoeness after reaching the quarter-finals: "We're delighted to advance to the next round. It became clear early on that the match could be challenging and intense, but things ultimately went our way. The first goal and the red card set the tone for the game, and the second goal right after the start of the second half made our task a bit easier."

❌ Ermedin Demirovic, Justin Diehl, Yannick Keitel, Silas, Dan-Axel Zagadou, and Luca Jakes will miss the game against Bayern.

Bayern Munich

🎙 Vincent Kompany on the match and Deniz Undav: "I have known Undav since his time in Belgium. He's a forward who can always find the net. A very smart player who poses a threat on the counterattack. They are a tough opponent; playing away at Stuttgart is never easy. We need to work together as a unit. If we give it our all, we can win, but we know what to expect. I'll be pleased if we secure four wins in the remaining matches of December. We wanted to stay in all three competitions until the end of the year—and we've done that. Now we aim to win the remaining games. We've had many good moments in 2025, and we want to build on that success in 2026."

💊 Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala continue to regain their form. No new injuries.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

The main referee for the match at "MHP Arena" is Tobias Stieler. In his last ten matches, he has averaged 4.9 yellow cards per game. Bayern rank fourth in yellow cards with 27 (2.25 per game), while Stuttgart are seventh with 24 (2 per game). Considering the significance of the match and Stieler's style, we anticipate a total of over 2.5 yellow cards.

⚽ Goal Prediction

Stuttgart have scored in nine consecutive matches and have won all seven of their home games this season. Bayern have conceded in their last six matches, allowing a total of 11 goals. Given Munich's attacking quality, it's almost certain they will score, so we strongly expect both teams to score (yes).

🚩 Corner Kick Prediction

Stuttgart and Bayern are among the top three teams for average corners earned, each averaging 5.8 per match. We choose Stuttgart's individual total over 3.5 corners—a bet that has come through in ten of Hennessey's last eleven matches.

Stuttgart's defeat in the last round has dropped them to sixth place, putting their European spot at risk if they lose to Bayern and Eintracht beat Leipzig. The Swabians will be eager to avenge their Super Cup loss and extend their home winning streak to eight matches. However, as hosts, Stuttgart have only beaten Bayern once in their last 19 encounters, with two draws and the remaining 16 won by the Munich side.

Bayern's aim, according to Vincent Kompany, is to win every match until the end of the year, and their squad depth supports this ambition. Our prediction: Bayern victory due to their higher individual quality. We anticipate a high-scoring game—3-2 in favor of the Munich team.
