VfB Stuttgart vs Bayern Munich Prediction: A win and over 2.5 goals for Bayern Munich

The current Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich, face a tricky match against Stuttgart on Saturday, March 4, at the Mercedes Benz Arena. After a difficult start to the season, the Bavarians have started gaining points. With a superior goal difference, a win will help Bayern Munich reclaim the top spot from Borussia Dortmund.

The relegation-threatened host has 19 points after 22 matches played. A win for Stuttgart would help their season, but Bayern Munich are too strong for the host. A straight win is expected for Bayern Munich

Stuttgart's chances of playing in the Bundesliga next season suffered a severe strike last week when they were defeated by Schalke who are bottom of the league table. That loss was 21 defeats for Stuttgart away from home. Stuttgart also have the unwanted record of conceding at least a goal in the last 31 home games played. Hence, it is difficult to envision Stuttgart getting even a point in this fixture.

Another bad news is the unavailability Sosa due to suspension. Sosa happens to be one of the influential creators of Stuttgart, hence his creativity will be missed.

With Borussia Dortmund currently occupying the top spot, Bayern Munich know that victory is a must if they want to return to the summit of the league table. Other teams like Union Berling and RB Leipzig are also chasing down teams above them in 2nd and 1st position. To deter the chasers, Bayern Munich need to continue winning. Bayern Munich are scoring goals for fun at the moment and it is expected that they continue to score goals.

The attacking prowess of Bayern Munich and the shaky defence of Stuttgart make Bayern Munich the clear winners for this match. With Bayern Munich averaging 2 goals per game, expect Bayern to maintain this record. The last 5 matches involving Bayern resulted in over 1.5 goals in the first half. It is expected that this streak continues. A potential score is 3-1 in favour of Bayern Munich. 

• Bayern win and total over 2.5 goals for 1.89
• Over 3.5 goals for 2.12
• Over 1.5 goals in first half for 2.1
