THE PREDICTION
Hoffenheim come into this game on a real high having ended their run of four Bundesliga fixtures without a win in some style, beating high-flying Wolfsburg 3-1. They travel to Stuttgart, who haven’t won since their first league game of the season against rock bottom Greuther Furth. However, Stuttgart can take heart from the fact that they have scored eight goals across their three matches played so far at Mercedes-Benz-Arena and the hosts will no doubt cause Hoffenheim’s backline plenty of problems when considering that the away side have kept just one clean sheet in their last five. As they push bodies forward though, Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men could easily find themselves hit on the counter attack, especially if Hoffenheim show the cutting edge in front of goal that they did against Wolfsburg. Therefore, both teams to score looks to be on the cards, regardless of who emerges triumphant here.
