Bayern München vs VfB Stuttgart prediction

THE FORECAST

Bayern is the logical favorite as defending champions with a virtually fit squad, while Stuttgart at the beginning of the season is dealing with a substantial injury burden (among others Fuhrich, Zagadou, Diehl and several others are absent), which considerably limits the depth of the visitors. Both teams have relatively sufficient rest and no directly significant rotation pressure, although Bayern faces the DFB Pokal five days later which makes slight rotation conceivable, but the league debut makes a strong starting eleven more likely. The weather conditions (mild, light precipitation, moderate wind) are neutral and do not significantly disadvantage either playing style.
