Third against second: The facts on Stuttgart vs. Bayern

A real top-of-the-table clash awaits FC Bayern in the Bundesliga. Either side of the two Champions League semi-final legs against Real Madrid, the Reds visit third-placed VfB Stuttgart on Saturday (kick-off 15:30 CEST). fcbayern.com has put together the most important facts and figures on the game.

Remarkable away run

Now this is an impressive run: Bayern have won each of their last 11 away matches against Stuttgart! In their Bundesliga history, the Munich men have only recorded a longer winning run away from home against Werder Bremen (currently 14). A note of caution, though: Stuttgart are unbeaten in 10 games on home turf.

Most wins in Bundesliga history

In total, Bayern have won 69 of their 109 Bundesliga encounters against VfB (D22 L18). No other club have beaten another so many times in the history of the German top flight.

FCB in good end-of-season form

FCB claimed their 22nd win of this Bundesliga campaign last weekend with a 2-1 success against Eintracht Frankfurt. That's already more than they registered last term (21). Another victory in Stuttgart would take the Bavarians onto 72 points, more than their tally from last season (71). Thomas Tuchel's side have also managed three consecutive wins in the league for the first time since early February.

Goals virtually inevitable

Expect a lot of goals in this contest! Saturday's match is not only a meeting of the two highest goalscorers in this Bundesliga season in Bayern's Harry Kane (35) and Stuttgart's Serhou Guirassy (25), but also the teams with the highest expected goals (xG) value in the league. Similarly, FCB have created the most big chances (142), with VfB in second (119).
