Bayern München Hosts VfB Stuttgart Amid Team Adjustments

The Bayern Munich football team is set to face VfB Stuttgart in the Allianz Arena, marking its first fixture following the international break. Head Coach Vincent Kompany will again be without Jamal Musiala, with Thomas Müller stepping up as his replacement in the starting lineup, continuing from the team’s previous encounter with Eintracht Frankfurt.

After three consecutive matches without a win across all competitions, Bayern aims to secure a victory in the Bundesliga match against Stuttgart on Saturday evening to maintain its lead at the top of the table. The team will retain the same starting lineup as in their recent 3-3 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt. In a crucial update, French defender Dayot Upamecano has been declared fit, allowing him to participate in the match starting at 18:30 local time.

The starting XI for Bayern Munich includes Neuer as goalkeeper, with a defense line comprising Guerreiro, Kim, Upamecano, and Davies. Kimmich and Pavlovic are set in midfield, while Gnabry, Müller, and Olise support Kane in the offensive lineup.

The substitute bench features Ulreich, Goretzka, Sané, Coman, Dier, Palhinha, Laimer, Tel, and Aznou, as Bayern looks to other options if necessary during the match.

VfB Stuttgart’s starting eleven will feature Nübel as goalkeeper, defended by Hendriks, Chabot, Rouault, and Vagnoman. Their midfield comprises Stiller and Karazor, with Leweling, Undav, and Rieder supporting forward Demirovic. The substitutes for Stuttgart include Bredlow, Al-Dakhil, Keitel, Mittelstädt, Millot, El Bilal, Woltemade, Stenzel, and Chase.

Bayern’s star striker Harry Kane appears eager to end his current goal drought, having not scored in the last four matches. Alongside him, Michael Olise and Serge Gnabry, who have both shown good form recently, will play on the wings.

Despite challenges in defense, evidenced by conceding seven goals in the initial six league games of the season, Bayern looks to improve these stats. Meanwhile, VfB Stuttgart has yet to maintain a clean sheet in the Bundesliga this season but has consistently scored in consecutive games, marking a noteworthy streak among top teams.
