Bayern Munich looked back to their best last weekend when they cruised to a comfortable 4-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt at Allianz Arena. With 11 games left in the Bundesliga, Bayern are in a strong position to bring the title back to Bavaria. However, they need to maintain consistency in performances over the next couple of months to achieve the domestic target set for the season.
The record champions will look to get their second league win in the last seven days. Bayern will be playing away at VfB Stuttgart on Friday evening. The Bavarian club had comfortably beaten Sebastian Hoeness’ team in the return leg at the start of the season, but Friday’s game will be more even since Die Roten are playing in Stuttgart.
Bayern are the form team in the Bundesliga, as they are currently on an unbeaten run of eight games. They have dropped points only once during this run, a 0-0 draw away at defending champions Bayer Leverkusen.
Meanwhile, Stuttgart are enduring a difficult campaign after finishing second last season. They are currently in between a rough patch of form, winning only two of their last five league games. Despite showing patchy form throughout the season, Stuttgart are just three points away from the fourth spot in the points table. A win over Bayern on Friday will provide them the exact boost to end the season strongly.
Die Roten have been unbeaten at Allianz Arena but looked slightly shaky away from home in the past few weeks. Stuttgart have the players to trouble Die Roten, but they have to show a lot of patience to survive waves of attack and pick the right moment to deliver the counter punch.
Bayern are favourites for Friday’s clash, but Sebastian Hoeness’ team will certainly be a tough nut to crack.
