Stuttgart are hoping to shock champions Bayern Munich when they visit the Allianz Arena for their penultimate game of the league season. Bayern Munich head into the game with the title already confirmed and they have 75 points while Stuttgart are battling relegation, with 29 points in 16th place. Bayern have won 13 of 16 home matches in the league this season and will be looking to finish on a high, this being their last game at home. They have the best attack in the league and the strongest defence too, though they haven’t kept many clean sheets going into this game. In their last five league matches, Bayern have managed just two clean sheets, but they have four wins. Ahead of this game, they suffered a 3-1 loss at Mainz, just a game after winning the league title. Three times in five league games, they’ve scored three or more goals and they have no loss in the last six league games at home. In the last seven league games at home, both teams have scored in five.
Stuttgart on the other hand, are only two points ahead of the relegation slots. They are sitting in the relegation playoff spot, four points behind 15th placed Hertha Berlin who play a day before them. Stuttgart can’t afford to drop points in this game; they will be hoping to beat Bayern, who have nothing much to play for. Going into this match, Stuttgart have failed to win in their last five matches. Their last 10 league matches have returned just one clean sheet and in five of them, Stuttgart have conceded more than a goal. They have failed to score in three of the last 10 matches and will be looking to cash in on Bayern’s shaky defence. Both sides have scored in three of their last five away league games, but Stuttgart have failed to score in the last two on the road.
Stuttgart have a daunting task here; they can’t afford to drop points but they face the champions, who are playing their last home game of the season. Bayern want to finish with a win, but their defence hasn’t posted the best numbers. Stuttgart will hope to take advantage of this but they have also struggled defensively, with just one clean sheet in 10 league games. A Bayern Munich win, with both teams scoring looks likely here.
