VfB Stuttgart vs TSG Hoffenheim Betting Tips and Predictions

VfB Stuttgart have lost 2 matches in a row for the first time in the Bundesliga under manager Jürgen Kramny, who was appointed manager on November 24th 2015, after their 4-0 loss away to Borussia M’gladbach during the week. He has helped lead Stuttgart to an impressive 18 points from 11 games (1.65 points per game) and turned their season around. They lost their last home match to bottom of the table Hannover 96 last Saturday, which was hugely undeserved, and especially shocking for Stuttgart after an 8 game unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga. VfB Stuttgart will see this fixture against 2nd from bottom TSG Hoffenheim as an opportunity to make amends and move on from the last 2 losses.

TSG Hoffenheim have really strengthened their chances of survival over the last few weeks and credit should be given to new manager Julian Nagelsmann. Nagelsmann was appointed manager on the 10th of February and so far has taken 2 wins and a draw from the last 4 Bundesliga matches (losing only to Borussia Dortmund). After Hoffenheim won 2-1 at home to Augsburg during the week, the new manager has guided them the same number of wins in these 4 matches (2 wins) than Hoffenheim had managed combined in the rest of the season.

TSG Hoffenheim, however, have the worst away form in the Bundesliga overall this season (7 points taken from a possible 36 points). Even with the new confidence and form given to the team from manager Nagelsmann they are coming into this match with the pressure of their poor away form and face VfB Stuttgart, who’s home form is to be feared since the appointment of manager Jürgen Kramny (5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses from 8 matches). Combining the above analysis with the statistics below, VfB Stuttgart to win 2-1 at 15/2 seems the likely outcome for this match.
