Topics of the week: What was going on at VfB Stuttgart?

VfB Stuttgart goes into the Bundesliga match against Bayern in a mixed but ambivalent position. The club is currently suffering from several injuries in defence: among others, centre-back Dan-Axel Zagadou is out again with a muscle tendon injury — a bitter setback after only just returning to the team. The Swabians are doing well in the league table, even though Sebastian Hoeneß's team recently suffered a setback with a late 1-2 defeat in Hamburg.

Topics of the week: What was going on at Bayern Munich?

FC Bayern travel to Stuttgart as league leaders with big ambitions: the club is unchallenged at the top of the Bundesliga and wants to continue its strong season. Nevertheless, the pressure remains high after Wednesday's cup round of 16 match. There are still personnel issues to be addressed: Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala, who are out with long-term injuries, will continue to be unavailable. Nevertheless, expectations remain high — Bayern want to use the weekend to cement their dominance in the league.
