VfB Stuttgart's Sebastian Hoene knows better than to think Bayern Munich is out of form

"VfB Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß has a long history with Bayern Munich, including his time as the manager of Bayern II. What does that mean? Well, mostly that Hoeneß knows better than to think a Bayern Munich team that has not looked quite right of late is going to be easy to take advantage of."

"We're playing at home again, where we have our normal routines. We're looking forward to the game. This run of four consecutive away games is over, which is a good thing. We want to have a proper go at Bayern at home. We want to put them under real pressure and play with a lot of bravery. I firmly believe we're capable of being successful tomorrow,"

"I don't think Bayern are going through a difficult spell. They had an incredibly tough away game in Berlin in the DFB Pokal, which they won. Just like us, they have a packed schedule, and sometimes you need other qualities to win games. In the end it was about advancing to the next round."

Sebastian Hoeneß brings deep familiarity with Bayern Munich from his time managing Bayern II and refuses to assume Bayern are vulnerable. Stuttgart finishes a run of four away matches and returns home aiming to pressure Bayern with bravery and normal routines. Hoeneß expresses confidence that his team can be successful and stresses disciplined, courageous play. He acknowledges Bayern’s recent tough away win in the DFB Pokal and notes both clubs face congested schedules, where different qualities can determine results. Hoeneß emphasizes not underestimating Bayern and treating the match as a contest requiring focus and preparation.
