For now, they need to finish the current one, and today it will not be an easy game in front of Tuchel, they will play away against Stuttgart, who have been playing very well this season. And the dilemma is what lineup to put on this game, because in a few days there will be a very important match for Bayern with Real (probably the most important match for Bayern this season), so I assume that Bayern may lose today, especially since this the defeat will not affect anything, they will retain their place in the table.
It looks like Tuchel will continue to rely on his best lineup when playing away against Stuttgart, even though this match will not have any impact on their position in the Bundesliga standings, this match could affect the players mentality when facing Madrid in the Champions League. Therefore, I think this match is still considered serious for both parties, and there is a big possibility that the match will end in a draw.
Stuttgart has a slight advantage because they act as hosts, and they are slightly more favorites to win the match, and that is natural considering that Bayern have to divide their focus at this time. Regardless of the situation faced by Bayern, I think they are still a team that has the attributes to dominate the match, and securing full points is good capital ahead of facing Madrid in the second leg.
However, if Tuchel only looks in one direction towards the Champions League, of course victory will be in favor of Stuttgart. On the other hand, Stuttgart also has the ambition to strengthen its position against Leipzig, where currently they are only one point behind. Apart from that, Tuchel actually doesn't want to add to his record of defeats in the Bundesliga, 3 draws and 6 defeats is embarrassing enough for Leverkusen to see.
