Bayern Munich vs Stuttgart: Champions’ Firepower Meets a Side Built to Test It. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
Bayern's record 122 goals and strong home form combine with Stuttgart's consistent scoring and defensive weaknesses to support a Bayern win with both teams scoring. Stuttgart's attack remains potent despite absences, while Bayern's defence concedes regularly, making this a high-scoring fixture.
A 3-1 scoreline fits Bayern's frequent three-goal games and Stuttgart's consistent scoring despite defensive fragility. Stuttgart's away struggles and Bayern's home strength make a multi-goal upset unlikely, though exact-score bets are sensitive to late goals.
Bayern Munich begin their Bundesliga title defence against Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena with one argument already settled: scoring goals is not their problem.

Three Punchy Stats
- Bayern scored a Bundesliga-record 122 goals last season, eclipsing the previous mark of 101 and underlining the scale of Stuttgart’s defensive task.
- Both teams have scored in 16 of Stuttgart’s last 20 league matches, a pattern that becomes particularly relevant against a Bayern side with only four clean sheets in their final 19 Bundesliga games.
- Bayern scored at least three goals in 12 of their final 14 league matches last season, while seven of their last nine Allianz Arena games were home wins featuring four or more total goals.
Scoring and BTTS Trends
Recent attacking records for Bayern Munich and Stuttgart are shown below.
Defensive Stability
Recent defensive records for Bayern Munich and Stuttgart are shown below.
Vincent Kompany’s side finished 16 points clear last season, amassed 89 points and set a new Bundesliga record with 122 goals. Yet Friday’s opener is not simply about whether Bayern can overwhelm another opponent. Stuttgart scored 71 league goals themselves, the second-best total behind Bayern, and arrive after a 4-0 cup win. The more interesting question is whether either side can impose enough defensive control to contain the attacking quality on show.
Bayern’s Numbers Demand More Than Respect
There is dominant, and then there is 122 goals in 34 league matches. Bayern did not merely finish as champions in 2025-26; they produced the highest points total the club had managed in 12 seasons while surpassing the previous Bundesliga scoring record of 101 by a remarkable distance.
That attacking momentum did not disappear over the summer. Bayern beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the German Supercup on August 22 and have now lost only once in their last 26 matches, winning 18. They scored at least three times in 17 of those games.
The Allianz Arena has hardly offered much relief either. Bayern can make it 10 wins from 12 home matches and extend their unbeaten home sequence to 12 games. Seven of their last nine there have ended in Bayern victories with at least four total goals.
Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz are among the attacking options, while Nathaniel Brown could again operate in the advanced role he filled against Dortmund after scoring in that match. Jamal Musiala will miss out because of a neurological disorder, but the champions are hardly short of routes to goal.
Stuttgart Have Enough Attack to Make This Awkward
The danger in focusing entirely on Bayern’s firepower is overlooking how productive Stuttgart were last season.
Sebastian Hoeness’s side scored 71 Bundesliga goals, a total bettered only by Friday’s opponents, while their 62 points secured fourth place and Champions League football. They have already opened the new campaign with a 4-0 DFB-Pokal win over Hansa Rostock.
Their recent defensive record is less reassuring. That cup tie delivered Stuttgart’s first clean sheet in eight matches, while both teams have scored in 16 of their last 20 league games. That is a substantial run, and it fits neatly with a fixture in which Bayern rarely require much encouragement.
Stuttgart could also be without as many as seven players, including Jeremy Arevalo. Deniz Undav is available, though, and could operate behind Dzenan Pejcinovic in a side still carrying genuine attacking potential.
Bayern’s Defence Leaves the Door Open
For all the praise generated by 122 goals, Bayern conceded 36 in 34 league games last season, two more than Borussia Dortmund. Across their last 26 matches they have kept only seven clean sheets.
The end of last season sharpened that point: Bayern managed just four clean sheets in their final 19 Bundesliga fixtures. Their habit of overpowering opponents has therefore sometimes masked the fact that they do concede chances and goals.
That matters against Stuttgart more than it might against a less productive visitor. The champions scored at least three times in 12 of their final 14 league games, but Stuttgart’s own attacking record suggests Bayern may need some of that familiar output rather than assuming one or two goals will be enough.
Jonathan Tah and Kim Min-jae are expected together in defence, with Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic ahead of them. The task is clear enough: give Stuttgart less encouragement than Bayern’s recent clean-sheet record suggests they sometimes offer.
Recent Meetings Favour Bayern Heavily
Stuttgart have lost six consecutive meetings with Bayern, including a 3-0 defeat in the DFB-Pokal final in May. Their league visit to the Allianz Arena also ended in a 4-2 loss.
Add an away record of only one victory from their final seven Bundesliga trips last season and the scale of the challenge becomes obvious.
Yet Stuttgart’s attacking output means this is not merely a question of resistance. Bayern should expect to be tested at the back as well as admired going forward.

🎯 Pick 1: Bayern Munich to win and both teams to score @ 10/11
Bayern Munich enter their opening fixture after an 89-point campaign where they scored a Bundesliga-record 122 goals. Vincent Kompany’s side have built strong momentum, losing just once across their last 26 matches while winning 18. They scored three or more goals in 17 of those fixtures and have maintained strong home form, winning ten of their last 12 at the Allianz Arena. With Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, and Nathaniel Brown—who scored in the 2-1 Supercup win over Borussia Dortmund—the hosts have extensive scoring routes.
Stuttgart present a genuine threat because their own scoring volume was second only to Bayern last season. Sebastian Hoeness saw his side score 71 league goals to finish fourth, and they opened the new campaign with a 4-0 cup win against Hansa Rostock. With Deniz Undav available behind Dzenan Pejcinovic, Stuttgart regularly produce goals. Crucially, both teams scored in 16 of their past 20 league fixtures. That connects directly with Bayern’s defensive figures, as the champions kept only four clean sheets in their final 19 Bundesliga games.
Stuttgart face a difficult task after losing six straight games against Bayern, including a 4-2 league defeat at this ground and a 3-0 cup final loss. With up to seven players unavailable and just one win from their final seven away matches last season, a Stuttgart victory lacks precedent. Combining a Bayern win with both teams scoring reflects the champions’ relentless attacking output while acknowledging a home defence that repeatedly gives up goals to capable opposition.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Bayern scored a Bundesliga-record 122 goals last season and won 18 of their last 26 matches.
- Both teams scored in 16 of Stuttgart's last 20 league games; Stuttgart scored 71 goals last season.
- Bayern kept only four clean sheets in their final 19 league fixtures and seven in their last 26 matches.
Risk Factor: If Bayern's defence shuts out Stuttgart or Stuttgart's absences limit attack, the bet loses via a home win to nil.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Scored a record 122 Bundesliga goals last season and 3+ goals in 17 of last 26 matches.
Managed only one clean sheet in their past eight matches, with BTTS in 16 of last 20 league games.
🎯 Pick 2: Bayern Munich vs Stuttgart 3-1 @ 8/1
A 3-1 scoreline accurately reflects the statistical overlap between Bayern’s remarkable scoring rate and Stuttgart’s offensive threat. The champions scored at least three goals in 12 of their final 14 league matches last season and hit that mark in 17 of their past 26 matches overall. Furthermore, seven of their last nine home fixtures at the Allianz Arena featured four or more total goals. Even without Jamal Musiala, Bayern’s forward line generated two goals against Dortmund in the Supercup and possesses more than enough firepower to reach three goals against a Stuttgart defence that has recorded just one clean sheet across their past eight outings.
On the opposite side, Stuttgart’s underlying numbers validate their ability to claim a single goal without threatening a full upset. Sebastian Hoeness’s team scored 71 Bundesliga goals last season and carry a sequence where both teams scored in 16 of their last 20 league games. Given that Bayern conceded 36 goals last season and kept only four clean sheets in their final 19 league matches, Stuttgart scoring once is well supported by recent trends. However, with Stuttgart managing just one win from their final seven away trips last term and losing six straight meetings to Bayern, a multi-goal away victory or draw remains unlikely.
The principal risk to a 3-1 outcome stems from the volatility of high-scoring games. Should Bayern repeat the 4-2 scoreline from Stuttgart’s last league visit or replicate their 4-0 cup win form, a single extra goal would defeat the bet. Nevertheless, 3-1 stands as a balanced projection of Bayern’s standard home goal output alongside Stuttgart’s habitual scoring presence.
Risk Factor: Exact-score predictions are sensitive; an extra goal either side defeats the selection.
