## Preview & Prediction

Bayern enter this clash as overwhelming favourites, having steamrolled the league last season and secured the title with four games to spare. Stuttgart, however, are no pushovers — they qualified for the Champions League and gave Bayern a genuine fight in the DFB Pokal final. With Bayern missing Lennart Karl and Serge Gnabry through injury, there’s a slight dent in their attacking depth, but their squad quality still points to a home win. Expect goals at both ends — a 3-1 or 4-2 scoreline in Bayern’s favour looks likely.

## Likely Lineups

**Bayern Munich:** Kompany is expected to field a strong attacking unit built around Harry Kane, with the midfield trio marshalling tempo and control, though the absence of Karl and Gnabry limits squad rotation on the wings.

**VfB Stuttgart:** Deniz Undav and Ermedin Demirović are set to lead the line, with a settled defensive unit aiming to frustrate Bayern’s attack and hit on the counter.
