Bayern Munich vs Stuttgart score prediction
Given Stuttgart managed to get a point when they hosted Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, there is reason to believe that they can hold their own here. Also, Bayern's heavy defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt showed that you don't know what to expect from them.
That being said, now that Tuchel has gotten the Champions League group stage out of the way, he could start to find some consistent league form with this team. A narrow win is on the cards here for Bayern, a win that may be followed by many more.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 2-1 Stuttgart
