Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Union Berlin, Bayern Munich will be looking to get back on course in Bundesliga when they host Stuttgart to their Allianz Arena on Saturday. The reigning champions aim to retain top position in the standings, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against die Schwaben. Summer signing Sadio Mane should continue to lead the line for the hosts, while both Eric Choupo-Moting and Bouna Sarr have yet to overcome their respective injuries. Serge Gnabry is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
Stuttgart, on the other hand, are still eyeing their first win of the season, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the title holders. Luca Pfeiffer is back from suspension, while Josha Vagnoman will have to serve his ban this time out.
Highlighted Player (Manuel Neuer):
Manuel Neuer is a German shoot-stopper who plays for Bayern Munich. Neuer used to play for Schalke in the past and in 2011 he joined their fierce rivals FCB for a fee of €22 million.

The 193-cm-tall keeper, who was born on 27 March, 1986 in Gelsenkirchen, has established himself as one of the best shoot-stoppers in the world and, no doubt, he helped Bayern Munich win the 2015/2016 Bundesliga trophy.
