Hoffenheim vs VfB Stuttgart Prediction

Hoffenheim Form

Hoffenheim have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 4-2 by Eintracht, before Wolfsburg ran out 1-2 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Union Berlin, who came out 3-1 winners. In their last six Bundesliga matches at home, Hoffenheim have one win, while they've drawn one and lost four.

Aiming for a mid-table finish Hoffenheim would require a quick upturn in form to achieve even that.

VfB Stuttgart Form

In has been a bit of everything for VfB Stuttgart in their previous three matches, as they first beat Hertha Berlin by 2-1. This was followed by a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, before an encounter with Mainz 05 produced a 1-1 draw. In their last six Bundesliga away matches, VfB Stuttgart failed to win even once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost four, scoring five while also conceding 15 times.
