Defending champions Bayern Munich (10-0-1, 31 points) is momentarily tripped with a draw in their most recent game and they hope to get back to winning form on Saturday at the Allianz Arena against hard-fighting Stuttgart (3-7-1, 10 points), who won their last match in the 2015-2016 Bundesliga season.
The Bavarians was held for a disappointing goalless draw by tough team Eintracht Frankfurt last Friday at the Commerzbank Arena, as reported by SkySports.
In a game where Thomas Müller came off the bench six minutes into the second half, Die Bayern could not find the back of Lukas Hradecky's net as head coach Armin Veh's boys executed their defensive strategies flawlessly against the league leaders.
The result snapped Bayern's 10-game winning run, but Pep Guardiola's squad is still comfortably ahead by five points from second-running Borussia Dortmund in the overall standings.
Meanwhile, lowly Stuttgart won their second game in the last three outings as it blanked newly-promoted club SV Darmstadt 98, 2-0, at the Mercedes-Benz Arena last Sunday, as per ESPN.
An own goal by Darmstadt defender György Garics gave a 1-0 lead to Die Schwaben at the 68th minute then striker Timo Werner put the game away for head coach Alexander Zorniger's boys with a goal in injury time to seal the final score.
Despite the momentum created by Stuttgart, the Star of the South is projected to bounce back from their brief setback but will be given a scare in the process.
The prediction is a tough 2-1 victory for Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich starting lineup (4-1-4-1 formation): Neuer; Lahm, Martinez, Boateng, Rafinha; Alonso; Coman, Robben, Vidal, Müller; Lewandowski
Stuttgart starting lineup (4-1-2-1-2 formation): Tyton; Klein, Sunjic, Baumgartl, Insua; Schwaab; Die, Gentner; Didavi; Harnik, Werner
