The German Super Cup kicks off this weekend with a clash between DFB-Pokal winners VfB Stuttgart and Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich! Bayern, bolstered by summer signings, are looking to add another trophy to their cabinet. Stuttgart, however, proved their mettle last season by clinching the German Cup. They'll be relying on the likes of Serhou Guirassy and Deniz Undav to cause problems for Bayern. Thomas Tuchel's Bayern Munich, with the addition of players like Luis Díaz and Tom Bischof, are clear favourites. The match also presents a fascinating tactical battle between Stuttgart's coach, Hoeneß, and Bayern's approach. Expect a strong performance from Harry Kane, who will be key for Bayern. Stuttgart will be missing key players, but Bayern have absentees too. Who will lift the trophy?

Despite VfB Stuttgart winning the German Cup last season, the quality of their victory is not entirely convincing. Furthermore, Stuttgart's recent friendly matches have been inconsistent. Facing the formidable Bayern Munchen, VfB Stuttgart are expected to lose. Prediction: Bayern Munchen win.
