FC Bayern Munich vs VfB Stuttgart Prediction 23 May 2026

Judging by everything we’ve seen throughout the campaign, Bayern enter the final as overwhelming favorites.

The Bavarians reclaimed their status as Germany’s dominant force in stunning fashion. Vincent Kompany’s side not only lifted the Bundesliga title but did so while producing one of the most devastating attacking seasons in modern German football. Bayern scored an astonishing 120 league goals — a number that could stand untouched for many years. They closed the domestic campaign with a commanding 5-1 victory over Cologne and looked equally convincing throughout their cup run, overcoming Wehen, Cologne, Union Berlin, RB Leipzig, and Bayer Leverkusen.

Stuttgart also deserve enormous credit for another strong season. The Swabians secured a Champions League place in the Bundesliga and reached the final after eliminating Braunschweig, Mainz, Bochum, Holstein Kiel, and Freiburg. However, their path was noticeably less demanding, and defensively they have often looked vulnerable against elite opposition.

That weakness became painfully obvious whenever they faced Bayern. The Munich giants defeated Stuttgart three separate times this season with a brutal aggregate score of 11-3, completely overpowering them with pace, movement, and attacking depth. With another trophy now within reach, Bayern should arrive fully motivated to finish the season with a flourish. Considering the gap in quality and the history between the teams this year, it is difficult to imagine anything other than another entertaining Bayern victory.
