VfB Stuttgart
VfB Stuttgart come into this game in a high-scoring mood — there have been over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last eight Bundesliga matches.
They sit just a point behind fifth TSG Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga and have shown they can score and concede in equal measure.
Their recent performances include a dominant 0-4 away win at Werder Bremen last week, but they were winless in three before that (two defeats).
At home, VfB Stuttgart have generally been strong, with Deniz Undav leading them with eight goals scored so far.
VfB Stuttgart won all their first five home Bundesliga games before getting thumped 0-5 by Bayern Munich in their latest home match.
TSG Hoffenheim
TSG Hoffenheim have enjoyed a real turnaround under coach Christian Ilzer, winning six of their last eight league matches to sit just above VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga standings.
Their attacking game has looked fluid, as we could see in their latest 4-1 home win against Hamburger SV, and they have players capable of punishing defensive errors.
Defensively, they aren’t rock solid, which suits a high-tempo, open game — something both teams have produced historically in this fixture.
Both teams have scored in five of the last six duels between them, with four of their previous six ending in draws, with both teams winning once.
The Betting Verdict
Expect an open, attacking game with plenty of chances at both ends.
VfB Stuttgart have the home advantage and attacking edge, but TSG Hoffenheim are capable of scoring on the break.
This one looks like Over 2.5 Goals to me as the main bet, with VfB Stuttgart slightly favoured to come out on top in a lively encounter.
