Hoffenheim vs Stuttgart Prediction & Match Preview

• Seven of the previous head-to-head encounters between Hoffenheim and Stuttgart provided goals at both ends.
• Hoffenheim lost just one of the previous seven league games in Sinsheim.
• Stuttgart won only three of the previous seven away fixtures across competitions.

Hoffenheim and Stuttgart will close Saturday’s Bundesliga schedule with the clash at PreZero Arena. The visitors will enter the tie higher on confidence but claiming spoils in Sinsheim will represent anything but an easy task.

Hoffenheim’s ambitions of a top-six finish suffered a big blow last weekend. They fell 1-3 away at direct rivals Eintracht Frankfurt. John Brooks gave Hoffenheim an early lead on the occasion but he got sent off midway through the first half, clearing the path for Eintracht’s comeback. Die Kraichgauer ended the game with nine men on the pitch.

Stuttgart eased past Union Berlin 2-0 on the home patch last Friday. Serhou Guirassy continued his amazing campaign by scoring his team’s first goal eight days ago. Guinean forward has a staggering 21 goals in 19 appearances in this term of Bundesliga. Stuttgart are still third in the league table, sitting seven points above RB Leipzig in fifth place.

Recent Meetings

• Hoffenheim stunned Stuttgart 3-2 in the reverse game played in October last year at MHPArena.
• Stuttgart are winless in the last four meetings with Die Kraichgauer. Hoffenheim have managed two wins and draws each along the way.
• Both teams scored in all but one of the previous eight head-to-head encounters.

Hoffenheim vs Stuttgart Prediction

Both Hoffenheim and Stuttgart have been on a fairly decent attacking form in the last several weeks. We have so many reasons to expect a high-scoring scenario when they come across each other. First of all, both teams scored in seven of Hoffenheim’s last eight Bundesliga outings. Stuttgart notched at least two goals in all but one of their previous seven league matches. Seven of the previous eight H2H affairs between these counterparts also produced goals at both ends. You can back the Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score pick at the 1.72 odds.

As for the outcome, we like the value offered for the home win or draw double chance pick at the 1.83 odds. Hoffenheim lost just one of the previous seven league outings on the home patch. They are also unbeaten in the last four head-to-head encounters with Stuttgart. They possess enough quality in their ranks to dispatch any team in this on their day. We believe the bookmakers have slightly underestimated them ahead of this tie.
