VfB Stuttgart
VfB Stuttgart won only once in their last five Bundesliga matches, losing three games. They keep dropping behind the top spots, sitting seventh before this round. They no longer look like a Champions League team, and many wonder what’s wrong with them.
Perhaps one of the reasons for VfB Stuttgart’s poorer performances is the recent rumours about their coach, Sebastian Hoeness. He has been linked with some Premier League clubs, but there is also a strong chance he will be the next RB Leipzig coach for next season if RB Leipzig fails to qualify for the Champions League.
After losing at home to Wolfsburg 1-2, VfB Stuttgart disappointed again last week, playing only a 1-1 draw against one of the worst Bundesliga sides – TSG Hoffenheim.
Even though VfB Stuttgart achieved most of their wins at home this season, they lost their most recent two home games against Borussia Monchengladbach and Wolfsburg.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich demolished Eintracht Frankfurt 4-0 last week, dominating from start to finish. That was their eighth win from the last nine, so they are doing superbly and inching closer to winning the title.
The Bavarians keep setting records, and one of them is scoring goals this season. They are averaging three goals per match (69 in 23 games), and that trend is likely to continue.
Bayern Munich is also the top away team in the Bundesliga, winning seven of their eleven away games.
Midfielder Josuha Kimmich was substituted at half-time last week after complaining of a thigh injury and is unlikely to play in the game. Leon Goretzka will likely be his replacement in the line-up.
The Betting Verdict
Bayern Munich has one of the best Bundesliga records against VfB Stuttgart, beating them in 70 of their previous 111 duels (22 draws, 19 defeats).
In recent years, the Bavarians have remained unbeaten in five of the last six duels, beating VfB Stuttgart 4-0 in their first match this season.
Also, Bayern Munich won five in a row in Stuttgart before losing in their most recent trip 3-1 in May last year.
Now, Bayern Munich is marching towards the German Bundesliga title and playing excellent football, while VfB Stuttgart still cannot get out of its crisis.
Those looking to bet on goals should know that all of the last 12 head-to-head duels between the teams ended with over 2.5 goals scored.
For a straight winner, the odds for the away win look good to me, so I recommend backing Bayern Munich to win the match.
