Premium Tips
Andy is with Bayern, who look a class above and should mark the opening night with a convincing home win.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Bayern Munich to win and over 4.5 goals | 6/4 | Bayern’s 2025-26 title was won at a canter: 89 points and 122 goals scored, comfortably the division’s most potent attack. That firepower travels into head-to-heads too — four of the last five meetings between these sides have produced at least four goals, including a 5-0 and a 4-2. Stuttgart’s own goal threat (71 scored last season) means they’re unlikely to sit deep and kill the game, while Bayern’s 36 conceded shows they don’t always keep things tidy at the back either. Put a dominant home side against an attack-minded visitor on opening night, and a comfortable, high-scoring result looks the logical outcome |
| Harry Kane over 2.5 shots on target, Konrad Laimer over 1.5 fouls and Maximilian Mittelstadt over 3.5 tackles | 15/2 | Kane remains Bayern’s focal point and shoulders most of the shooting burden, regularly testing keepers multiple times when Bayern enjoy the possession dominance expected here. Laimer’s relentless pressing style means he habitually picks up fouls breaking up opposition build-up, and a stretched Stuttgart midfield should give him plenty of chances to do just that. Mittelstädt, likely pinned back defending Bayern’s overloads on his flank, should rack up defensive actions simply from repeated exposure. Combining three player props like this stacks the odds up nicely while leaning on each player’s well-established statistical tendencies rather than one single outcome. |

How Bayern Munich go into the game
Bayern were imperious last season, winning the title by a distance with 89 points and 122 goals. Little suggests they will be anything other than dominant again.
Opening at home against a top-four side is no gimme, but Bayern’s quality is overwhelming. Anything but a comfortable win would be a genuine shock.
How Stuttgart go into the game
Stuttgart finished fourth last season and will fancy a strong campaign, but they open with the toughest assignment in the division. A trip to the Allianz Arena is unforgiving.
Stuttgart carry a goal threat and will look to keep it respectable, but containing Bayern for 90 minutes is a huge ask on the opening night.
