Die Kraichgauer have been in good touch recently, losing just one of their last six games. They faced Hamburger in the league last week and secured a 4-1 home win. Grischa Prömel and Ozan Kabak scored in the first half, while Tim Lemperle and Fisnik Asllani added goals in the second half.

Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim Prediction

Die Roten have lost just one of their last nine home games while recording eight wins. They have lost just one of their last eight home meetings against the visitors, scoring 17 goals.

Ermedin Demirovic, Yannik Keitel, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Luca Jaquez, and Lorenz Assignon are sidelined for this match. Bilal El Khannouss will also miss this match, as he has left for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Die Kraichgauer have won two of their last four league games, with both coming at home. Notably, they are winless in their last two away games, scoring just once, and will look to improve upon that record.

Koki Machida, Hennes Behrens, and Kelven Frees remain the three injury concerns for the visitors. Bazoumana Touré has left for the AFCON and is another absentee.

The hosts have scored four goals each in their last two games. They have scored at least once in their last 11 meetings against the visitors. With that in mind, we back Die Roten to secure a win here.
