On Sunday afternoon, Bayern Munich and Stuttgart clash at the Allianz Arena in a potentially massive game at the top of the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich form guideThe reigning German champions bounced back from their 5-1 hammering at Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend by recording a 1-0 win at Manchester United in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
The defeat in Frankfurt ended a six-game winning run in the Bundesliga. The game continued a high-scoring trend for Bayern in the German top flight, as 16 of their last 17 league matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
Bayern are now second place in the Bundesliga standings, four points adrift of league leaders Bayer Leverkusen, although they have a game in hand on Die Werkself.
The Bavarians are strong on home soil, six games unbeaten in the Bundesliga at the Allianz Arena, having recorded five wins and a draw. Thomas Tuchel’s team has also scored at least two goals in each of the last six unbeaten home matches in the German top-flight.
Stuttgart form guideDie Roten are in third place in the Bundesliga table, a point behind their second-place hosts, and five points adrift of league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
Stuttgart are unbeaten in their previous four games in the German top-flight. In fact, a 1-1 home draw with league leaders Leverkusen last time out ended a three-game winning run in the German top-flight.
The visitor's recent league games have certainly not lacked in goals, as 12 of their 14 league matches this season have produced over 2.5 goals.
Stuttgart has an excellent recent away record in the Bundesliga, winning four of their last five league games on their travels. Their recent away games have been high-scoring in the German top flight, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of the last eight matches.
What am I backing?This could be an exciting encounter with plenty of goals. Therefore, the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
