Stuttgart vs Hertha Berlin Predictions

• Stuttgart kept just one clean sheet across their last nine games.
• Hertha have just one clean sheet across their last 14 games.
• 20 of Hertha’s 27 conceded league goals this season came in away games.

Stuttgart to stun the silent stadium

It hasn’t been the easiest of times for Stuttgart, least of all because of the local restrictions that have forced this game to be played behind closed doors. The hosts moved out of the relegation zone with victory last time out and could leapfrog Hertha if they make it back-to-back wins.

That will be easier said than done for the hosts, who have not won consecutive league games since May. However, Pellegrino Matarazzo saw his side pick up four points from the two league H2Hs last term and will hope to make that another win here given that ten of Stuttgart’s 13 points were won at home.

A new era begins at Hertha

While Hertha Berlin are seen as a big city side on the up by many, they are facing a real tough time as they look to end a four game winless run (D2, L2).

Encouragingly, the visitors could benefit from a new manager bounce as Tayfun Korkut takes charge for the first time, though he is winless in four prior meetings with Stuttgart (D2, L2).

All in all, I think that picking a result here is too tough between two struggling sides. I predict that both teams will score here when considering Stuttgart’s confidence having just won, Hertha’s new manager and an empty stadium may well be the ingredients for an entertaining encounter.
