Bayern Munich and Stuttgart are set to face off at the Allianz Arena in a Bundesliga clash that promises excitement this weekend. Bayern Munich, currently sitting at the top of the table, will look to bounce back after three consecutive winless matches before the international break domestically and in the Champions League against Aston Villa. Stuttgart, on the other hand, are aiming to secure consecutive victories over the Bavarians for the first time since 2007.
Bayern Munich come into this match slightly under pressure, having drawn their last outing 3-3 with Eintracht Frankfurt. Stuttgart, despite their mid-table position, have proven they can cause problems for any side, having scored 15 goals already this season.
This match will see Bayern trying to rediscover their winning touch while Stuttgart seek to continue their positive scoring form.
Bayern Munich Predicted Lineup
Bayern Munich are still dealing with several injuries as they prepare for this crucial encounter. Key players like Jamal Musiala (hip), Sacha Boey (knee), and Josip Stanisic (knee) remain sidelined, and Hiroki Ito is also out with a metatarsal fracture. However, Harry Kane is expected to continue leading the line, despite a recent 350-minute goal drought for both club and country.
Bayern may line up with Neuer in goal, with a back four consisting of Kimmich, Dier, Kim, and Davies. In midfield, the likes of Pavlovic and Palhinha could feature, supporting an attacking trio of Gnabry, Muller, and Olise behind Kane.

Here is how the side last lined up
Stuttgart’s last match saw them adopt a familiar setup, and despite some fitness concerns, they should be able to field a competitive side to take on the league leaders.
Forward Deniz Undav has been declared fit and is available after a muscle problem ruled him out of Germany’s recent international matches. However, the visitors will miss Chris Fuhrich, Luca Raimund, and Dan-Axel Zagadou due to injuries.
Stuttgart are likely to start with Nubel in goal. Their defensive unit may feature Stenzel, Rouault, and Chabot, with Mittelstadt as a full-back. Stiller should anchor the midfield, supporting a more advanced line that includes Millot, Woltemade, and Leweling, with Demirovic leading the attack.
