VfB Stuttgart vs. Bayern Munich 11/28/20 - Bundesliga Picks & Predictions

On Saturday, Stuttgart hosts Bayern Munich in a Bundesliga fixture. The hosts have four consecutive draws in league play and would not be disappointed with another sharing of the spoils against the defending champions. Last weekend, Stuttgart battled to a 3-3 draw with Hoffenheim.  It appeared as if Stuttgart would lose for the first time since the opening match of the season but Marc-Oliver Kempf scored a header in the final minutes to earn another draw.

Stuttgart has one win and four draws in its last five fixtures in the top-flight German league and over that span has scored nine goals and allowed seven. The leading goal scorers for Stuttgart are Silas Wamangituka, Sasa Kalajdizic, and Nicolas Gonzalez with three each. The leader in assists is Kalajdzic with three, while Daniel Didavi has two.

Bayern sits atop the Bundesliga table but dropped points at home for just the second time since Hansi Flick became the full-time manager for the club last December. Bayern played to a 1-1 draw at home last weekend with Werner Bremen. Bayern has secured qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions League for a 13th straight season following its 3-1 victory midweek over Red Bull Salzburg.

Flick can now put all of his attention on extending Bayern’s lead at the top of the Bundesliga table prior to the start of the knockout stages. Bayern Munich has four wins and one draw in its last five matches played across all competitions and has scored 15 goals and allowed seven over that same span. The leading goal scorer for Bayern Munich is Robert Lewandowski with 11 and Thomas Muller is the leader in assists with five.
