Leaders Bayern are currently 15 places higher than their rivals Stuttgart, when the two sides meet, they will sit in first and sixteenth positions respectively.

League leaders Bayern Munich will seek to win every game, this match is no exception

Bayern will be hoping to increase their row, after victories over both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund.

Also, League leaders Bayern keep finding ways to win, having secured 15 victories in their last 20 fixtures is astonishing this season, which is responsible for their Champion’s League qualification position. They are the current League leaders with 75 points, that is, 24 wins, 5 losses and 3 draws having won 24 games, drawn three meetings, and lost five matches.

Bayern’s home record is commendable, having won 13 meetings, drawn one game, and lost two games this season. This record should be most concerning for Stuttgart.

The ultimate prize this season will be for Bayern Munich to finish top of the Bundesliga and secure automatic qualification for the Champion’s League. However, they must play each game as it comes and secure the points, if that is to be achieved.

Bayern are likely to be missing one of their key players when they start Sunday’s game, due to injury and illness.

Stuttgart’s campaign so far has seen them accrue 29 points this season

Following a 1-1 draw against Wolfsburg, Stuttgart will be hoping for more.

Also, suffering nine losses in 17 matches is a terrible run of form for any club, Pellegrino Matarazzo’s Stuttgart will know this and will be hopeful of turning it around. They currently stand sixteenth in the League, with 29 points for a total of 6 wins, 15 losses and 11 draws having won six matches, drawn 11 games, and lost 15 fixtures.

Stuttgart have had a disappointing run of performances on the road, having won one game, drawn seven meetings, and lost eight games of their 16 League matches away from home this season.

A win in this fixture would take Stuttgart’s points to 32 in the League.

Stuttgart’s ever growing list of players missing due to injury or illness to be a concern for Pellegrino Matarazzo, ahead of this Sunday’s fixture against their opponents.
