According to the best live bookies for soccer, Bayern are the big home favorites at 1.35 (7/20) despite not winning in their last three games. A draw is offered at 5.80 (24/5), while Stuttgart are the away underdogs at 8.0 (7/1) to beat the Bavarians at Allianz Arena.
The Bavarians have completely dominated this matchup in the last few years, as in the last 10 head-to-head games, Bayern won seven, drew twice, and Stuttgart won only once. The Swabians broke a nine-game winless streak against Bayern last season, which was also their second win only over them in the last decade.
Bayern Munich are currently sitting in first place in the Bundesliga standings with 16 points. They got upset in the UCL by losing to Aston Villa after a big win over Dinamo Zagreb, so they have three points and are in the middle of the table. The Bavarians will be looking ahead to their matchup with Barcelona next week.
The Bavarians are coming off a 3-3 away draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. Bayern were winning until the 94th minute, when Omar Marmoush equalized with a great counterattack goal. The Egyptian star gave Bayern a hard time in this game with two goals and one assist, but the Bundesliga football odds still have the Bavarians as big favorites to win the title.
Bayern Munich will miss Sacha Boey and Josip Stanisic with injuries, while Jamal Musiala and Hiroki Ito are doubtful for this game.
VfB Stuttgart are currently sitting in 8th place in the Bundesliga standings with nine points. The Swabians are struggling in the UCL as well, with one loss and one draw. Stuttgart will face last year’s finalists, Kaiserslautern, in the DFB-Pokal round of 32 at the end of the month.
Stuttgart are coming off a thrilling 1-1 home draw with Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. Valentin Gendrey opened the scoring for Hoffenheim in the first half, but Stuttgart’s top goalscorer, Ermedin Demirovic, equalized in the 99th minute. The Swabians have only one win in over a month, but they have been solid with three consecutive draws.
Stuttgart are suffering with a lot of injuries, as Justin Diehl, Chris Fuhrich, Nikolas Nartey, Luca Raimund, and Dan-Axel Zagadou are all out, while Leonidas Stergiou is doubtful.

This is a revenge game for Bayern Munich, as Stuttgart beat them at the end of last season to finish higher on the standings by one point difference. The Bavarians are in much better form right now, as they have by far the best offense in the league with 20 goals, while the Swabians have one of the worst defenses in the top 10 teams.
We have Bayern in our Bundesliga 24/25 betting picks to win the league, and we will back them again here at home. Seven of the last eight wins for the team were by more than one goal difference, so there’s a very good chance that Bayern get a big win.

Bayern Munich have been shooting a lot this season, as this is one of their main weapons under Vincent Kompany. They have gone over this total of shots in five of their last six games in all competitions, averaging 22.3 shots per game. Stuttgart have a shaky defense that has lost the clean sheet in eight of their first nine games so far, so they can’t stop the fast Bayern attacks at Allianz Arena.

Harry Kane is tied at the top of the Bundesliga 24/25 top assists list with four penultimate moves this season so far. The English striker has been creating a lot of chances for his teammates lately, so those odds are really enticing for him to make an assist against this weak defense. Kane is also in great form right now, having scored four goals and four assists in the last four league games, so the odds are pretty good for this option.
This could be a tricky matchup for the Bavarians, but we think that they will get a comfortable win at home. Make sure you use our 2024 Bayern Munich vs Stuttgart betting predictions and bet them at the legal bookies in Germany to have more fun watching the game.
