Bayern hoping to end three-game winless run as Stuttgart visits.
Bayern Munich will be eager to end their three-game winless streak as they host VfB Stuttgart, who look to capitalize on their resurgence, in a captivating Bundesliga clash at the Allianz Arena.
FC Bayern München
Bayern Munich were left without a win in their last two Bundesliga games after a 3-3 draw against Frankfurt. Nevertheless, the record Bundesliga champions remained at the top of the table.
Getting back to winning ways will be the objective for manager Vincent Kompany, whose side are now winless in three competitive games. This includes the shock 1-0 loss to Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League.
A weekend game against Stuttgart could see the Bavarians, who have 14 points (4W, 2D, 0L), aiming to return to form, considering their impeccable record against Saturday’s visitors. FC Bayern have won 69 of their 110 Bundesliga games against VfB Stuttgart (69W, 22D, 19L), a record in league history against a single opponent.
However, the last meeting ended in a 3-1 home win for Stuttgart in May. Bayern could suffer back-to-back losses against Stuttgart for the first time since 2007. "Stuttgart are still riding the wave of their good form," Neuer mentioned. "All their players are full of confidence, so it will be a difficult home game. That [May defeat] still stings a bit," he added.
A 4—2—3—1 formation with Harry Kane leading the attack is expected once again. Hiroki Ito has returned to training after breaking his foot, but Sacha Boey will be out for several months due to a knee injury.
Jamal Musiala is ruled out following a hip injury, while Dayot Upamecano and Mathys Tel are doubtful for the weekend’s game. Aleksandar Pavlovic is also in doubt, having picked up a knee injury while playing for Germany.
VfB Stuttgart
Just like Bayern, Stuttgart headed into the international break with a draw. The visitors secured a point in a 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim in the final week before the break, thanks to a late goal from Ermedin Demirović in stoppage time (90’+9).
During the two-week break, they stayed active with a friendly match against Ulm. Stuttgart, currently in 8th place with 9 points, will hope to earn more than a single point when they visit the Allianz Arena this weekend.
However, a recent dip in form sees them with just two wins in their first six Bundesliga games this season (2W, 3D, 1L). This is a contrast to their performance at the same stage last season when they recorded five wins. A 4-4-2 formation with Deniz Undav and Demirović in attack is expected.
