Hoffenheim vs
Stuttgart - Prediction & Match
Preview
Hoffenheim welcome
VfB Stuttgart to the SNP Arena in a Bundesliga
fixture with strong potential for goals.
Hoffenheim have suffered two consecutive 3-2
defeats at the start of the league campaign,
while Stuttgart have recorded one win and one
defeat. The defensive records of both sides
already point towards an open contest, with
Hoffenheim conceding six goals and Stuttgart
also conceding six goals after two league
matches.
Hoffenheim have shown plenty of attacking
quality despite the difficult start. Two goals
were scored against FC Koln before another two
goals arrived against Borussia Dortmund.
Defensive problems remain a major concern,
however, with three goals conceded in each of
the opening league fixtures. A home attacking
performance should again create scoring
opportunities against a Stuttgart defence that
has also shown vulnerability.
Stuttgart arrive with considerable attacking
confidence after a 4-1 Bundesliga victory over
FC Koln followed by a 3-1 Champions League win
against Viking. Ermedin Demirovic scored a
hat-trick in the European victory, adding
further evidence of Stuttgart's current
attacking threat. Five Bundesliga goals have
already been scored by Stuttgart this season,
while six goals conceded suggest further
defensive weaknesses.
Recent head-to-head meetings also support a
high-scoring scenario. The previous meeting at
the same venue ended in a spectacular 3-3 draw,
while both teams scored in eight of the last ten
meetings according to recent statistical data.
The combination of Hoffenheim's attacking
approach, Stuttgart's current scoring form and
defensive weaknesses on both sides creates
strong conditions for goals.
Both teams have enough attacking quality to find
the net, while the defensive statistics provide
strong support for a match containing at least
three goals. An open Bundesliga contest with
chances at both ends appears likely, making the
combination of both teams to score and Over 2.5
goals an attractive prediction. |
