VfB Stuttgart
VfB Stuttgart resumed Bundesliga action with a furious 1-4 away win against Bayer Leverkusen, their first over them since 2018. They scored all four goals in the first half and looked really impressive.
They now have 29 points, the same as RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen in third and fourth spot, so it looks like VfB Stuttgart are pretty serious in their desire to return to Champions League football.
Last weekend’s high-scoring match was VfB Stuttgart’s 9th of the last 10 Bundesliga games to end with three or more goals.
Team motivation is high, and they will be looking to achieve their first home win in three games after losing to Bayern Munich and drawing with TSG Hoffenheim in their last two home games.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt are also hunting a Champions League spot this season, but they have been having ups and downs since last November. Their record over the last six matches is three draws, two wins, and one loss, which is not very convincing.
They opened 2026 last Friday by playing a thrilling 3-3 draw against Borussia Dortmund. There is no doubt that they have a potent, dangerous attack, but their defense is also among the leakiest in the Bundesliga.
A positive is that their latest winter signing, Younes Ebnoutalib, scored his first goal for the team in the last match and will likely play as the top forward in the upcoming games.
Eintracht Frankfurt is not in good away form, winning just once in their last five Bundesliga trips, drawing three times, and losing once.
The Betting Verdict
Eintracht Frankfurt has a very solid away record against VfB Stuttgart in recent seasons, winning four of their last five trips there.
Also, Eintracht Frankfurt has remained unbeaten in eight of their last 10 overall meetings against the Swabians, which could motivate them again for this fixture.
Goals have been frequent in recent duels – the winning side in this fixture has scored 3+ goals in the last four direct duels.
Considering how both sides play, their attacks and poor defending (especially Eintracht Frankfurt), this game has all the ingredients for another game with both sides scoring.
The Pick :
VfB Stuttgart 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
