TSG Hoffenheim vs Stuttgart Predictions

• Hoffenheim were winning at both HT/FT in six of their last eight Bundesliga home games.
• Hoffenheim scored at least twice in eight of their last nine home league games.
• Stuttgart are without a win across their last eight league games.

A tale of European hopes and Bundesliga survival

Back-to-back league wins ahead of this clash have seen Hoffenheim maintain their position in the top-six, though they will be under no illusions that just three points separate fourth place from ninth and as such, this game could prove pivotal in the run in.

Only four sides in the Bundesliga have won more games at both HT/FT than Hoffenheim’s eight this season, which accounts for 73% of their overall league successes. Moreover, Hoffenheim lost just one home league game in which they were entered as pre-match favourites (W6, D2, L1), thus inspiring confidence yet again.

On the other hand, Stuttgart find themselves embroiled in a battle at the opposite end of the table after a run of eight straight league games without victory, which is the longest actively running streak in the division. It is unlikely that will end here, as the visitors seek their first win in Hoffenheim since 2013!

Hoffenheim could pile more misery upon Stuttgart

Given the sheer gulf in both the league standings and recent form of the sides, I predict a dominant half-time/full-time victory for Hoffenheim as the W-D-W market alone provides little value.

For smaller stakes, I think 2-0 could have a good chance in the correct score market. Illustrating this nicely is the fact that only two sides failed to score in more away league games than Stuttgart this term, while Hoffenheim bagged at least twice in five of the last six home H2Hs.
