Allianz Arena, Munich
📊 Match Insights
Bayern Munich kicks off their title defense in the Bundesliga on Friday as they host Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena.
Last season, under the guidance of Vincent Kompany, Bayern dominated the league, finishing 16 points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund. Stuttgart, who secured fourth place, will pose a significant challenge for the reigning champions.
With key players like Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Diaz, Bayern achieved their highest points total in 12 years, amassing 89 points.
Their offense was arguably the most potent globally, setting a new Bundesliga record with 122 goals scored in a single season, surpassing the previous record of 101.
However, Bayern's defense showed some vulnerabilities, conceding 36 goals over 34 matches, which was worse than Dortmund's defensive record of 34.
The hosts have begun the new season on a positive note, winning the German Supercup final against BVB 2-1 on August 22. They have only lost once in their last 26 matches.
Out of those games, Bayern secured 18 victories and scored at least three goals in 17 of them, although they managed only seven clean sheets.
A win for Kompany would mark the team's fifth straight victory on the Bundesliga's opening day and their 10th win in 12 home matches, extending their unbeaten streak at Allianz Arena to 12 games.
Stuttgart's total of 62 points last season earned them a spot in the Champions League for the second time in three years, a remarkable feat for a team that last participated in the tournament during the 2009-10 season.
