Team News

Stuttgart
Hoffenheim
  • Goal machine Serhou Guirassy hobbled off last weekend with a muscle injury and will be missing for several weeks.
  • Goalkeepers Fabian Bredlow and Dennis Seimen both have hip problems, while Josha Vagnoman is nearing a return from a broken foot.
  • Nikolas Nartey has undergone knee surgery and may be out for the rest of the year.
  • Dennis Geiger has problems with his adductors. Ozan Kabak has a shoulder injury, while Andrej Kramaric has a muscle injury.
  • Marco John has suffered an ACL injury, while Stanley Nsoki has a patella injury.

Prediction

  • Stuttgart have stormed to victory in seven of their eight games by at least a two-goal margin with special thanks to 14-goal Bundesliga topscorer Serhou Guirassy.
  • Hoffenheim have won a club record four games in a row on their travels, but have struggled on home soil.
  • Stuttgart have scored in all of their 16 games under coach Sebastian Hoeness, last failing to find the net in a 3-0 defeat under Bruno Labaddia on April Fools Day.
  • Both meetings last season ended in stalemate but both are yet to draw this term and that could be the most likely option here, especially with the abscence of goal-machine Guirassy.
