Competition: Bundesliga
Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 8/15 @ Pribet
Two sides who find themselves scrapping it out in the Champions League chase, Stuttgart will welcome Hoffenheim to the MHPArena on Saturday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while Stuttgart might have only just dragged themselves to a top-half finish among Germany’s elite last season, Die Roten have made a string of improvements this time around. Last seen in Bundesliga action putting in a sensational performance as they cruised their way to a 4-0 romp away at Werder Bremen, Sebastian Hoeneb’s men will be dreaming of a repeat display here. Likewise, securing a 4-1 Europa League victory against Macabi Tel Aviv earlier in the month, Stuttgart have already wrapped up a knockout stage ticket with time to spare. Heading into November’s international break with an action-packed 3-2 win against Augsburg, Saturday’s hosts should also be excited by their free-scoring performances in the final third. Including a 4-0 win against Dutch outfit Go Ahead Eagles last month, Die Roten have registered at least a pair of goals in seven of their previous nine appearances across all competitions. It should also be highlighted, gaining a fearsome reputation for their dominance on home soil, Hoeneb’s camp have remarkably won nine of their last 10 showdowns at the MHPArena.
As for the visitors, spending the majority of last season looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Hoffenheim faced a major backlash over the summer. However, embarking on what has become a real Bundesliga romp, Christian Ilzer’s side find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Remarkably opening Saturday’s trip to Stuttgart with just their goal difference keeping them outside the Champions League spots, the Blues have already cemented their spot as one of Germany’s ultimate surprise packages this season. Last seen making an immediate return to winning ways as they stormed their way to an empathic 4-1 victory at home against Hamburger, Hoffenheim have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous eight Bundesliga appearances – a run that stems back to October 3rd. Heading into November’s International break with a stellar 3-1 win against RB Leipzig, Ilzer’s men are more than capable of asking some serious questions here. It should also be highlighted, seven of the last eight meetings between Saturday’s opponents have finished with both teams finding the net.
