Vfb Stuttgart and RB Leipzig will get their respective Bundesliga campaigns underway with an enticing clash at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.

Leipzig, on the other hand, finished fourth and were 19 points behind Bayern Munich. Die Roten Bullen did win the DFB-Pokal, though.

Bayern Munich dominated Eintracht Frankfurt, thumping the Europa League champions 6–1 at Deutsche Park Bank in the opening match of the 2022–23 Bundesliga season.

The Bundesliga champions raced to an early 5-0 lead at half-time as the defending champions showed more fight and determination to get maximum points against their hosts.

Bayern Munich have now scored 11 goals from their first two competitive games of the season after also destroying RB Leipzig 5-3 in the German Super Cup last weekend.
