Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer says the team is focused on capping their first home game of the season with a win on Sunday.

The 22-time Bundesliga champions got their 2012/13 campaign off to the best possible start last weekend when they brushed aside newly-promoted outfit Greuther Fuerth 3-0.

Jupp Heynckes’ men host Stuttgart at Allianz Arena on Sunday and Neuer is refusing to take the 2007 Bundesliga winners lightly, despite their opening-day defeat at the hands of Wolfsburg.

“For us it’s our first home game,” the German international said.

“We started well with a 3-0 win against Greuther Fuerth and a home win against Stuttgart is our top priority.

“It is definitely a dangerous team that, on a good day, can beat anyone in the Bundesliga.

“Similarly to when we played Greuther Furth we need to make sure that we don’t take our opponents lightly, and hat we try to keep the ball up front.

“We need to keep our concentration – we are very motivated and want to win that first home game.”

Meanwhile, Bayern and German captain Philipp Lahm is determined to build on the side’s winning start and make it two wins from two.

“Definitely it’s an important game,” he said. “But at the beginning all the games are important.

“We want to carry on with our good start to the season. We have started well but we need to carry on with a win at home now.”
