VfB Stuttgart vs. Bayern Munich Betting Preview
VfB Stuttgart
Those making VfB Stuttgart picks this weekend would be slightly concerned by their recent form. They come into this fixture sitting just outside the bottom three places in the Bundesliga standings by a one-goal margin. Stuttgart has picked up four defeats from their previous five matches, with the latter of those coming last weekend against Schalke, who currently sit rock-bottom in the German top-flight standings.
The Bundesliga standings highlight how much Stuttgart has suffered in the final third this season, as they have scored just 27 goals from 22 games. Only three teams in the division have scored fewer goals at this stage of the 2023 campaign. However, their home form would be a reason for optimism ahead of this weekend.
Stuttgart has picked up four home wins from their last six matches. Their home form has made up 79% of the points that they have won this season. However, they will need to start quicker on Saturday, as they conceded inside the opening 15 minutes for the tenth time in the Bundesliga last weekend.
Bayern Munich
The Bayern Munich game schedule heats up over the next five days as they travel to Stuttgart on Saturday before clashing with PSG in their Champions League second leg next Wednesday. There is certainly evidence that the Bavarian giants are just hitting their peak at present, as they were sensational in last weekend’s 3-0 win over Union Berlin.
All three goals were scored inside the opening half, with Jamal Musiala scoring the third goal to cap a mesmeric display from the midfielder. Bayern’s record in this timeslot on a Saturday is also extremely emphatic, as they have gone 24 without defeat, winning on 19 occasions. Their latest defeat at this time on a Saturday was suffered against Bayer Leverkusen in November 2019.
Bayern will need to avenge a recent poor run of results against Stuttgart this weekend, as they are winless in their last two. They haven’t gone three without a win against their rivals this weekend since 2000. However, Bayern has landed 12 straight victories away from home against Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.
VfB Stuttgart vs. Bayern Munich Betting Picks
The fact that the hosts start games so slowly could make for a compelling selection on the VfB Stuttgart vs Bayern Munich odds. Their record of conceding ten times in the opening 15 minutes is made even more damaging considering that Bayern has scored eleven goals inside the opening stages so far this season.
Therefore, a goal between the first and tenth minute at +275 looks a very interesting angle. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich to be leading at half-time and Full-Time is also a solid pick.
- Pick 1: Bayern Munich Half-Time & Full-Time (+110)
- Pick 2: Goal Between 1-10 Minutes (+275)
