If Bayern Munich can win their trip to MHPArena on Friday against Stuttgart, they will have taken a big step towards winning the Bundesliga.

Die Roten grabbed the lead in the ninth minute and had several scoring chances against Hoffenheim; nevertheless, they were ultimately defeated due to a lack of finishing, as Gift Orban scored Hoffenheim's lone significant opportunity in the 74th minute.

After their most recent tie, Stuttgart has now let in 12 goals in their last seven games across all competitions and has failed to maintain a clean sheet in five of their previous six Bundesliga games.

Since his team has failed to score in six of their past seven games, boss Sebastian Hoeness may be worried about their finishing efforts.

Manager Vincent Kompany may take pride in his team's performance, as they recorded their third straight league clean sheet. This is particularly noteworthy given that they let six goals in their previous two games and failed to maintain a clean sheet in their last three.

Harry Kane, a national hero, scored a hat trick in the second half as the Bavarians thrashed Stuttgart 4-0 in the rematch on October 19.

Kompany's squad has struggled recently, drawing two of their past three games while losing to Celtic and Bayer Leverkusen. They had won nine of their previous ten games.

Even though Bayern have won seven of their eleven Bundesliga away games, they have lost two and drawn one of their past six road games.
