ℹ️ Team News: VfL Wolfsburg

Lukas Nmecha (Hamstring injury), Lovro Majer (Ankle injury), Rogério (Knee surgery), Bartosz Bialek (Knee injury) and Kevin Paredes (Foot injury) will be missing for VfL Wolfsburg boss Ralph Hasenhüttl.

It’s our opinion that Wolfsburg look set to opt for a 4-1-4-1 formation for this one with Kamil Grabara, Kilian Fischer, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Cedric Zesiger, Jakub Kaminski, Salih Oezcan, Patrick Wimmer, Mattias Svanberg, Maximilian Arnold, Tiago Tomas and Mohamed Amoura.

📋 Team News: Stuttgart

Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeneß has a number of players out of action. Ameen Al-Dakhil (Ill), Dan-Axel Zagadou (Outer ligament problems), Nikolas Nartey (Fitness), Leonidas Stergiou (Back problems) and Justin Diehl (Shoulder injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that Stuttgart appear most likely to play in a 4-4-2 system, giving starts to Alexander Nuebel, Josha Vagnoman, Anthony Rouault, Jeff Chabot, M. Mittelstaedt, Enzo Millot, Atakan Karazor, Angelo Stiller, Jamie Leweling, Ermedin Demirovic and Deniz Undav.

🧠 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that VfL Wolfsburg certainly have the ability to put one past this Stuttgart team, although just one goal probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We therefore reckon that it will be a very close game with a 1-2 advantage for Stuttgart at the end of the match.
