Hoffenheim - Stuttgart predictions

Hoffenheim managing to pull off a victory here would be quite the upset. They are definitely underdogs, so even the home-field advantage isn’t able to push the odds lower than 3.65 for a home win.

If everything goes according to plan and Stuttgart put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

It’s fair to say even the most avid Hoffenheim supporters were surprised to see their team land a comprehensive Werder Bremen victory in the last round of the Bundesliga. Having taken an early lead, Hoffenheim smelled blood and went for the jugular resulting in a big-margin, morale-boosting triumph.

Stuttgart supporters were shocked to see their team lose the previous Bundesliga game. With 1.57 betting odds stacked in their favour, they were seen as clear favourites to claim an easy home win. Instead, they were held to a halftime draw before being shocked with a 1:2 defeat.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Hoffenheim’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Stuttgart have scored 6 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

The match these two teams played earlier in the season ended in a draw. Overall, Hoffenheim have a lot more reason to feel happy about that, being the underdogs in the matchup.

With Chris Führich, Dan-Axel Zagadou, El Toure, Jacob Bruun Larsen kept from the game due to injuries, the away team is forced to switch things up. They are still considered favourites, but it’s something to keep in mind.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet may seem somewhat risky, but it’s a lot more probable than usual. It’s a great pick if the betting value is what you’re after, but some might prefer a somewhat safer choice.
