Prediction
Bayern Munich 3, VfB Stuttgart 1
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
Bayern has been incredible at home and should bounce back without an important midweek match to take their focus away.
Stuttgart has proven to be a competent side, but they don't have a win of this caliber. Backing them here doesn't make much sense, but at -225, Bayern is also too expensive to play outright.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 3.5 (-120).
These two offenses are, simply put, electric. Stuttgart has had at least 2 expected goals in 6 straight Bundesliga matches. They have scored 7 goals in their last 4 games and have more than 3.0 expected goals in 2 of their last 4. Stuttgart's offense is good enough that it should be able to get through a stiff Bayern defense.
Bayern has gone Over this total in 5 of their last 6 games. They have only gone under this total in 3 of 13 games. This is a scoring machine that few, even top defenses, which Stuttgart doesn't necessarily have (it is strong but not among the best of the Bundesliga), have stopped.
Expect an onslaught of goals and take OVER 3.5 (-120). It might be too much to ask for 5 total goals, but if you think it's possible consider a little something on the alternate OVER 4.5 (+185) for a nice payout.
