Stuttgart
LWWDWW
Stuttgart come into this match following a 2-0 Bundesliga 1 win in the defeat of Union Berlin in their most recent outing.
In that match, Stuttgart managed 70% possession and 14 shots at goal with 5 on target. For Stuttgart, goals were scored by Serhou Guirassy (19') and Chris Führich (65'). Union Berlin got 9 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target.
In their last six outings, Stuttgart have helped themselves to a tally of 13 goals. Stuttgart have also scored on each one of those occasions. Over that period, they’ve had 8 goals scored by their opponents. We will just have to find out whether or not that trend will end up being continued on here.
A look at their previous results shows us that Stuttgart:
- have not emerged victorious against Hoffenheim when having played them away from home in the previous 8 league matches. A very poor set of away results, indeed.
- are undefeated in their previous 3 away league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Hoffenheim
Marco John (Cruciate ligament tear), Dennis Geiger (Hamstring injury), Mergim Berisha (Cruciate ligament tear) and Grischa Prömel (Inner ligament injury) will not be able to play for Hoffenheim manager Pellegrino Matarazzo. Suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Ozan Kabak and John Anthony Brooks.
It seems likely that Hoffenheim could use a 3-4-1-2 system for the game, beginning the first half with Oliver Baumann, Kevin Akpoguma, Florian Grillitsch, Stanley N'Soki, Pavel Kaderabek, Marius Buelter, Finn Becker, Tom Bischof, Andrej Kramaric, Ihlas Bebou and Maximilian Beier.
🗞️ Team News: Stuttgart
Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeneß has a number of players out of action. Nikolas Nartey (Fitness), Anthony Rouault (Broken jaw) and Dan-Axel Zagadou (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be playing here.
We are inclined to think that Stuttgart will likely utilise a 4-4-2 system, going with Alexander Nuebel, Josha Vagnoman, Waldemar Anton, Hiroki Ito, M. Mittelstaedt, Enzo Millot, Atakan Karazor, Angelo Stiller, Chris Fuehrich, Deniz Undav and Serhou Guirassy.
⚡ Prediction
Our feeling is that Hoffenheim must be fancied to get a goal against this Stuttgart lineup, although one goal probably won’t quite be enough to avoid defeat.
We are therefore anticipating a very close game with a 1-2 win for Stuttgart by the conclusion of the game. Should be a good one.
Our expert partners are tipping under 3.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
