It’s the clash of champions against a side who are hoping to avoid the drop in the Bundesliga this Sunday as Bayern Munich will host VfB Stuttgart.
The Bavarians lifted the title on matchday 31, so they understandably took their foot off the gas against Mainz in their previous outing. Julian Nagelsmann’s side lost the game 3-1, but will hope to bounce back at home.
The pressure is certainly on Stuttgart, who still have a lot to play for on the final two matchdays.
They are just two points above Arminia Bielefeld in the league table and occupy the relegation playoff spot.
While being in the playoff spot isn’t the worst outcome, Stuttgart will hope to upset Bayern Munich and close the gap on Hertha Berlin in the league table.
Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side need at least four points from their next two games and will hope Hertha lose both their matches to climb out of the bottom three.
