Stuttgart should worry more about staying in the third place rather than fighting Bayern Munich. I mean having a good ambition is something that every team should have but right now and after several mistakes, they found themselves third and risking to lose it in the upcoming rounds if they got a negative result.
Their next game will be against Heidenheim which should not be that hard. The match after will be against Borussia Dortmund were the gap risk to shrink between these two teams!
Stuttgart certainly feels worried inside because they are worried that Dortmund will overtake them if they make mistakes in the 2 matches they will face because the difference in points between the two is only 6 points. In fact, having a strong ambition to overtake Bayern Munich in second place is a good ambition for him to increase the positive side and motivation so that the players' mentality is not too stressed because they are too afraid that Dortmund will overtake them in 3rd place.
The match against Heidenheim should be a match that is not too difficult for Stuttgart because the opponent he will face is not in good condition lately and is not very consistent so Stuttgart should be able to take advantage of this opportunity well so as not to lose full points, after all he will be playing in home ground is certainly a big advantage for Stuttgart.
And after playing a match that wasn't that tough, Stuttgart had to face a pretty tough match after that because they had to play against Dortmund, Stuttgart had to be careful in this match because the match would be held at Dortmund's headquarters at the Signal Iduna Park stadium. Stuttgart will definitely experience difficulties because they have to play against the hosts, especially as Dortmund's statistics are starting to improve. These two clubs will definitely play fiercely to compete for the top 3 positions.
