VfB Stuttgart gets another chance to fight for their survival in the German top flight this Sunday when they host the table leaders Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in the 33rd game week of the Bundesliga. Kickoffs at 18:30 EAT.
Bayern Munich has a nice chance to return to winning ways at Allianz Arena here against Stuttgart who has not been pulling up any trees of late. After sealing a 10th successive Bundesliga crown in the perfect style, with victory in Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund a week earlier, Bayern’s party was spoiled when they visited Mainz last weekend. This will be their last home match of the season and Bayern will be out to give home fans a great showing, which is not the best thing for Stuttgart.
The Bavarians tasted defeat 3-1 Bundesliga last time out at the hands of Mainz. In that match, Bayern Munich managed 69% possession, seven shots with one of them on target and a goal scored by Robert Lewandowski (33′). 1. FSV Mainz 05 got 22 shots with seven of them on target and goals by Jonathan Burkardt (18′), Moussa Niakhaté (27′) and Leandro Barreiro (57′).
Meanwhile, Stuttgart currently hold the relegation playoffs position and are in a very tough place going into the final two matches of the campaign. They are four points behind the safe zone which makes it almost impossible for them to avoid at the playoffs at the very best considering they need to face Bayern Munich in this round.
Stuttgart heads into this meeting off the back of 1-1 Bundesliga stalemate versus VfL Wolfsburg in their last game. In that fixture, Stuttgart had 57% possession, 19 shots with five of them on target and a goal scored by Chris Führich (89′). VfL Wolfsburg got 15 shots with five of them on target and a goal by John Anthony Brooks (13′).
