Notably, Stuttgart has not dropped points in home matches this season (5 wins).

Defender Dan-Axel Zagadou and forwards Tiago Tomás and Ermedin Demirović will miss the match due to injuries. Additionally, Chris Führich's participation is doubtful.
Bayern Munich
In the previous round, Vincent Kompany's team narrowly defeated St. Pauli at home, scoring decisive goals in injury time (3-1). Thus, Bayern secured their 13th victory in the last 14 Bundesliga matches, winning by a large margin in nine of them.

Stuttgart vs. Bayern Munich: Match Prediction
At home, the Swabians are confident in their attacking game and rarely fail to score. In their last 14 home Bundesliga matches, the club has only failed to find the net once, and in seven of those games, Stuttgart scored at least twice. Defensively, the team performs well at home, but in 11 of the last 13 home encounters with Bayern in the league, the Swabians have conceded at least two goals.
Bayern Munich has been prolific in the Bundesliga this season, averaging more than 3.5 goals per game. Even away games rarely impact the team's scoring negatively: in 8 of their last 9 away league matches, the players scored at least three times, and in one match, they netted twice. However, the Munich side is not always reliable in defense: in the last seven away Bundesliga matches, Bayern has conceded eight goals.
I expect a very high-scoring game in this match, so my prediction: Total over 3.5 goals
* The starting lineup for each team reflects their previous match in this tournament.
