Vincent Kompany has made a seamless transition to life in Bavaria. Bayern Munich will be aiming to open up a three-point gap at the Bundesliga summit this weekend when they host Stuttgart.
The leaders come into this round in excellent recent form after winning four of their opening six.
However, a stern reminder was issued of previous shortcomings before the international break after playing out a 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Stuttgart finished above Bayern in the Bundesliga standings last term. But, they are yet to scale the same heights this term. Still, they have avoided defeat in their last five league outings.

A home win for Bayern Munich will be a short price this weekend. There could be value in the draw or a win for Stuttgart at +498 and +675, respectively.

A reason for Stuttgart’s underwhelming start to the season has been the sheer number of injuries that they have needed to contend with.
Deniz Undav is a doubt this weekend, while Nikolas Nartey is also in a race against time. However, Chris Fuhrich, Luca Raimund, and Dan Zagadou are out until later this year.
Possible Lineup

Bayern Munich vs. Stuttgart Prediction
Bayern will be gunning for revenge this weekend against a side that finished above them in the Bundesliga standings last season.
Due to Stuttgart’s injury list, it appears hard to overlook a home victory. However, it should be a high-scoring affair between two of the most potent attacks in the German top-flight.
