THE PREDICTION

Bochum’s return from the Bundesliga winter break saw them share a 1-1 draw at home to Werder Bremen in their most recent outing, last weekend. They conceded a dramatic 93rd minute equaliser in that match. They now face a Stuttgart side that have been very impressive throughout this campaign as they challenge for a top four finish and UEFA Champions League qualification. They have managed just one win in their last four matches, though. Stuttgart are favourites for this one but it could be a low-scoring encounter with both teams out of form.

TIP: DOUBLE CHANCE – STUTTGART TO WIN OR DRAW & UNDER 3.5 GOALS
