THE PREDICTION

Newly promoted Greuther Furth begin their Bundesliga campaign away at Stuttgart who accrued a respectable ninth-place finish last season. Whilst the visitors will understandably enter this encounter as underdogs, they face a side with numerous absentees due to injury and potentially without star striker Sasa Kalajdzic, who has been isolating after testing positive for Covid-19 late last month. Kalajdzic scored 16 league goals last season and Stuttgart will struggle to pose a significant attacking threat here without him. When taking this into account, a Greuther Furth unit riding the crest of a wave following promotion are more than capable of picking up a least a point from this one. Be sure to wait for confirmation of the starting line-ups, but if Kalajdzic does not feature for the hosts then consider Greuther Furth double chance.
