THE LOWDOWN

HOFFENHEIM

Hoffenheim saw their two-match winning streak in the Bundesliga come to an end this past Sunday. They had defeated Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen, but despite taking the lead against Eintracht Frankfurt, Hoffenheim ended up losing by three goals to one. A poor second-half performance will be something the hosts no doubt will have reflected on and must be looking to put out of their system here.

STUTTGART

Stuttgart maintained their vice-like grip on third-place in the table with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Union Berlin in the most recent round of Bundesliga fixtures. This was their 17th win across 25 league matches played and saw them remain seven points clear of RB Leipzig in fourth-place. However, that gap was cut to four points on Friday night after Marco Rose’s side got the better of FC Cologne by five goals to one, making it crucial for Stuttgart to answer back in this contest.

THE PREDICTION

Hoffenheim’s goalkeeper and defenders could be in for a long evening here. Serhou Guirassy’s goalscoring exploits this season have been there for all to see, whilst Deniz Undav must be feeling on top of the world following his call-up to the Germany national team. Those two forwards are likely to give Hoffenheim a torrid time over the course of this match and are worth backing to ultimately lead Stuttgart to an important three points.

TIP: STUTTGART TO WIN
