Bayern are coming off a dramatic second-leg game at home to Real Madrid, which may have taken a great deal out of the players. Kompany may choose to rest and rotate key players. Bayern have a big lead at the top of the table. Stuttgart lie third and may take advantage of their hosts' possible fatigue, as they had a free week after exiting in the last round of the Europa League. They may also seek revenge after losing 5-0 at home in the reverse fixture. Sebastian Hoeness also presided over a win as boss of Hoffenheim against these opponents once when Bayern were involved in a midweek Euro Super Cup game.

Going for the draw and BTTS as Stuttgart arrive as the side currently in third. A positive result here would cement third place and qualification for the UCL.

A draw also appeals. Perhaps 2-2, as this is the result these two have shared at Bayern after a run of home wins for the home side. Stuttgart should perhaps avoid defeat here, as they are the fresher of the two sides. They have been free-scoring on the road, netting over 1.5 goals in their last three road trips (if correct).
