This match is expected to see FC Bayern München dominate possession almost throughout, according to their sky-high control numbers, while VfB Stuttgart will likely sit deep and look to counter. The home side's pre-season form has been hot, scoring 4 goals against Heidenheim in a friendly on 18 Aug and beating RB Leipzig 3-1 in a friendly on 15 Aug. Stuttgart, meanwhile, just thrashed Hansa Rostock 4-0 in the DFB Pokal on 21 Aug but lost 0-1 to Fulham in a friendly on 15 Aug. So this match should be an open, entertaining exchange, especially in the latter stages when both teams score the most. The first thing to watch after kickoff is how tightly Stuttgart's defense holds its position, because if they can't handle Bayern's aerial balls, the match could be over early.
