Follow live coverage as Stuttgart face Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga today.
Bayern Munich remain the dominant force in German football and secured another title win last season, while they signed England captain Harry Kane over the summer to further boost their attacking prowess.
Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are their main rivals, but a fierce war for European football continues and Union Berlin, Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt, once back, are expected to be among the most productive of the rest.
On the other hand, Stuttgart and Augsburg are aiming for a better chance after narrowly surviving last season, while FC Heidenheim are back on the front foot this year for the first time in their history.
