Preview: Stuttgart vs Bayern
Stuttgart currently come into this game having lost just once this season, on matchday one, but have drawn four of their last five games. That has kept them narrowly outside the European football spots, albeit it's been a pretty impressive season for a team who have had their struggles in past Bundesliga campaigns and are back in the top flight this year after finishing second in 2.Bundesliga last term.
They will be facing a stern challenge when Bayern come to town, as taking on die Roten is always going to be tough for any side. However, the hosts will certainly be taking notes from Werder Bremen's very impressive showing against Bayern last weekend as die Grün-Weißen battled to a very impressive 1-1 draw with Hansi Flick's side, making them only the second team other than Hoffenheim to nick points off die Roten this season.
That being said, Stuttgart have won just one of their last 19 meetings with Bayern across all comps. And to complicate matters, they will have to welcome a team who have lost just one of their last 14 away games without three key forwards, with Cisse, Gonzalez, and Al Ghaddioui all still on the treatment table due to various injuries. Moreover, Bayern have a strong track record, not surprisingly, when it comes to facing newly promoted sides, with wins in 41 of their last 44 matches.
Interestingly, though, their sole loss during that formidable run was to none other than Stuttgart two years ago, but with their opponents dealing with a spate of injuries at the moment, it's hard to see Bayern being on the wrong end of the score-line this time around.
