Match Facts & Stats
- Stuttgart haven't just lost their last three Bundesliga games...
- ...but also they have failed to score during that period
- Meanwhile, Bayern have won their last 15 meetings with Stuttgart across all competitions
- Die Roten also have scored at least two goals in 14 out of those 15 clashes versus Stuttgart
- The last time Stuttgart beat Bayern was on March 27, 2010 (at the Allianz Arena)
- At home, however, they haven't beaten Bayern since November 10, 2007
Preview
Bayern did labor a bit against Köln, but eventually - and not surprisingly - it was Robert Lewandowski to make the difference for die Roten. The Polish international netted his 15th goal of the season to give the Bavarian titans all three points and keep himself three clear of former teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the race for the Torjägerkanone.
Given that Bayern face a tough DFB-Pokal clash against Borussia Dortmund in just a few days' time, Jupp Heynckes could opt to make some slight rotations for this match. After all, die Schwarzgelben will be eager for revenge in another edition of Der Klassiker, especially after losing their first meeting, and the veteran tactician will obviously want to have his strongest starting XI for that mouth-watering clash midweek.

Match Facts & Stats
- Borussia Dortmund are undefeated in their last 9 matches against Hoffenheim across all competitions
- Hoffenheim have not beaten Dortmund since May 18, 2013
Preview
Earlier this week, new coach Peter Stöger managed to do what his predecessor couldn't do for over two months: earn Borussia Dortmund a win. The victory over Mainz marks Dortmund's first victory since September (if one excludes their October 24th comfortable win over lower-tier side Magdeburg in the DFB Pokal).
With Bayern coming up next, and Dortmund still facing quite a spate of injuries, Stöger doesn't have much luxury to really rotate his squad here. Hoffenheim sit a point and a spot ahead, and things are so congested in the middle of the table that a win for Dortmund could actually help them lift themselves into the top four - depending on how other results go. A loss, of course, could push them back down towards the bottom half of the table, and that's not something they will obviously want ahead of their Klassiker showdown with Bayern next week.
