Bayern Munich-Stuttgart is a match on the sixth day of the Bundesliga and is played on Saturday at 15:30
BAYERN MONACO – STUTTGART
In the Champions League Bayern Munich immediately took the limelight, debuting with a clear-cut (0-2) success at the San Siro against Inter Milan and responding to Barcelona’s goleada against Viktoria Plzen of the Czech Republic. Julian Nagelsmann’s men put in a decisive performance without a single blemish, in a match in which their superiority over Simone Inzaghi’s Nerazzurri, who appeared to be in constant difficulty against the Bavarian battleship, was clear. Bayern risked practically nothing and settled the Milanese outfit with one goal in each half: first a magic strike from Sané, then an own goal from D’Ambrosio.
A convincing victory was sorely needed after the two half-hearted Bundesliga missteps against Borussia Monchengladbach and Union Berlin – both of which ended 1-1 – that caused Muller and his team-mates to slip down to third place, overtaken by both Borussia Dortmund and the surprising Capitols, now alone at the top of the table. At the Allianz Arena this weekend Stuttgart are on the scene: the three points are likely to come this time, although Nagelsmann may continue to rotate his players massively. After a few days, there is another crucial Champions League big match against Xavi’s Blaugrana. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team, along with Schalke 04, Wolfsburg and Bochum, still continue to postpone the appointment with their first league victory. On the other hand, there have been four draws and one defeat for the red and whites, who are coming off two low-scoring challenges against Cologne and Schalke (0-0 and 1-1).
The Prediction
Bayern Munich’s reaction in the league after two draws in a row is also likely. Stuttgart have little chance of taking a point away from the Allianz Arena in a match in which the Bavarians should win by at least two goals.
