Stuttgart vs Bochum Prediction & Betting Tips (23 November)

Like what Bayer Leverkusen may experience, of which he was the runner-up at the end of last season, Stuttgart does not manage to do as well as last year. On the contrary, VfB is currently in the soft underbelly of this Bundesliga, in 11th position, with 13 points to its credit after the first 10 days. Too inconsistent, the Swabians were slapped by Bayern Munich 4-0 before recovering with difficulty against Holstein Kiel 2-1. Then, they were able to hold Bayer Leverkusen to a 0-0 draw and then they were beaten again, before the break, by Eintracht Frankfurt 2-3. Also involved in the Champions League , Stuttgart was beaten on the last day by Atalanta 0-2 and it will try to move forward against Red Star Belgrade next week.

On the Bochum side, we do not is clearly not preparing for its European deadlines and the priority objective for the coming months will be nothing other than maintenance. And the task already promises to be difficult enough for this team which brings up the rear in the standings with only 2 points collected during the first 10 matches. Forced to react by dismissing their coach to appoint Dieter Hecking, this team is struggling to raise its head, notably with heavy defeats suffered against Bayern Munich 0-5 and Bochum 7-2. But before the international break, Bochum was still able to achieve a first result by holding the reigning German champion, Bayer Leverkusen, 1-1 .

The Swabians will once again be deprived of French defender Zagadou and the unused Raimund and Keitel. The midfielders Stiller and Chase, the French striker Enzo Millot (3 goals in the Bundesliga) and the formidable German international Undav (5 goals) were also added to this list. In the absence of the latter, Bosnian striker Demirovic should take on more responsibilities, he who also scored 5 times in the league. Former Rennais Rieder (1 goal, 2 assists) and former Rémois El Bilal Touré (2 goals) should also be able to start this game. There is also a bit of a problem for this Bochum team which will have to tackle this trip without defender Bernardo and attacker Baldé who are still forced to withdraw.

Midfielders Pannewig, Miyoshi (scorer against Bayer on the last day) and Daschner are also on the flank at the moment, as is the player on loan from Monaco, Myron Boadu (2 goals). Finally, replacement goalkeeper Rieman, who is serving a suspension for doping, will not be there either. Authors of 2 goals each scored this season, midfielders Wit and Bero are the only ones to have scored more than once this season.
