Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

A big surprise last season across the Rhine, Stuttgart was able to take 2nd place in the rankings behind the untouchable Bayer Leverkusen. Qualified for the Champions League, VfB started with a severe defeat at Real Madrid before sharing the points with Sparta Prague on Tuesday 1-1. In the Bundesliga, the Swabians got off to a slightly more decent start with 8 points taken during the first 5 days. Victorious over Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-3 and Borussia Dortmund 5-1, the Stuttgart players ended up snatching the point from a draw at Wolfsburg last week 2-2. On the other side of the meadow, Hoffenheim found themselves in great shape difficulty at the start of the year.

Everything started well for TSG who won their first match against Holstein Kiel 3-2. But things then got worse for this team which suffered 4 defeats in a row in the league. Beaten by Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1, Bayer Leverkusen 1-4 and Union Berlin 2-1, Hoffe thought he had killed the match against Werder Bremen by leading by 3 goals after 12 minutes of play. then collapsed following the exclusion of N'Soki and finally lost at the end of a completely crazy scenario 3-4.

Among the locals, the long-term injured like Al Dakhil, Stergiou and Nartey and the replacement Diehl will not be operational for this meeting. In addition, French defender Zagadou was also injured and risks missing several months of competition. Finally, midfielder Karazor will be suspended after being sent off on the last day. Offensively, the Swabians can count on serious assets like summer recruit Demirovic and the formidable Undav who have scored 4 goals each in the league. For his part, the young Frenchman Millot has 3 goals to his name and he also scored in the Champions League this week.

Hoffenheim, for its part, will not be able to count on top scorer Kramaric (4 goals in the Bundesliga). This is a considerable absence for this team which must also do without the midfielders Geiger and Stach, the important midfielders Bebou and Promel, potentially defenders holders Kabak and Jurasek and replacement Ole Becker who are also on the flank. Finally, former Nice defender N'Soki will be suspended following his exclusion last weekend. In the absence of Kramaric, the interesting Bülter (3 goals in Bundesliga) scored a double in a matter of seconds last week.
