Bayern München vs Stuttgart: match statistics

Bayern are favorites due to clear home dominance: they win 86% of matches at home, have scored 105 goals this season versus Stuttgart’s 60, and average 4.00 goals scored and 0.93 conceded per match at their stadium. In the last 5 fixtures Bayern scored 18 goals (3.6 per match) and recorded 5 wins, while Stuttgart have 10 goals in their last 5 (2.0 per match) and 3 wins. Bayern also generate better quality chances: average xG at home is 2.47 versus Stuttgart’s 1.78 xG on the road, and hosts average 21.14 shots and 9.14 on target per match compared to 14 shots and 5.93 on target for the visitors. Defensively the edge is significant — Bayern concede 0.93 goals per home match and have 36% clean sheets, Stuttgart concede 1.71 goals away and have 21% clean sheets. Considering form (Bayern 3.0 pts average in the last 5 vs 1.8 pts for Stuttgart), higher xG and greater chance volume, the projection is a Bayern win.

Stuttgart has a seasonal BTTS rate of 79% and averages 2.43 goals scored per match, with a shot conversion rate of 17% and xG_for 1.78, indicating the visitors regularly find the net even away. Bayern’s seasonal BTTS is only 33% and they keep a clean sheet in 53% of games, with an average of 0.93 goals conceded at home, which is a strong argument against BTTS. In the last 5 matches Bayern score 3.6 and concede 1.2 on average (recent xG_for 2.55 and xG_against 1.25), while Stuttgart in their last 5 average 2.0 scored and 1.2 conceded (xG_for 1.87 and xG_against 1.13), so both teams have recently been creating and allowing scoring opportunities. Additionally, Stuttgart have 100% of games over 2.5 goals this season and 79% of away matches combining over 2.5 and BTTS, which boosts the likelihood of both teams scoring. Considering Stuttgart’s high seasonal BTTS (79%) and that Bayern, despite 53% clean sheets, have been conceding 1.2 goals on average in the last 5, I favor the 'BTTS - Yes' scenario and estimate its probability at 62% versus 38% for 'No'.

The xG-based model shows similar offensive strength: Bayern xG 1.79 vs Stuttgart xG 1.78, with conceded xG 1.25 (Bayern) and 1.53 (Stuttgart), yielding expected goals of 1.66 for Bayern and 1.52 for Stuttgart (total 3.18). With a mean of 3.18 goals the Poisson distribution gives probability for Over 1.5 at ~83%, Over 2.5 at ~62% and Over 3.5 at ~39%. Match data reinforce this signal: Bayern have averaged 3.6 goals in the last 5 matches (18 goals in 5) and have 100% of those games Over 2.5, while Stuttgart season-to-date have 100% of matches Over 2.5 and both teams scored in 79% of matches. Bayern average 16.2 shots per match (6.13 on target) versus Stuttgart 14.0 (5.93 on target), and Stuttgart’s higher conversion rate of 17% further increases scoring likelihood. The strongest and clearest signal from the above data is Over 1.5 goals, therefore I recommend the Over side on the 1.5 line.

Bayern is the clear favorite: at home they average 2.33 points per match and have a 73% win rate, while Stuttgart has a 43% win rate and averages 1.5 points per match. Despite similar xG (Bayern 1.79 vs Stuttgart 1.78), Bayern concedes less xG (1.25 vs 1.53) and is down on average only 0.33 goals at the break compared to Stuttgart’s 0.79, with Bayern keeping a clean sheet at Half-Time in 73% of matches. In the last 5 fixtures Bayern won all 5 (100%) and led at the break in 3 of 5 (60%), with Half-Time goal averages of 1.2 for Bayern vs 1.0 for Stuttgart. The second half is very active: 93% of Bayern’s matches and 100% of Stuttgart’s matches have had at least one goal after the break, so I expect the outcome to be decided within 90 minutes in favor of the home side. Based on this, the safest scenario is Bayern leading at Half-Time and winning Full-Time (1/1, 32%), with a strong secondary signal being a draw at Half-Time and a Bayern turnaround to win Full-Time (X/1, 25%).
