The last three matches in the German championship ended in a tie for Stuttgart. Matches against Cologne, Schalke and Bayern resulted in draws. It should be noted that five of the six matches involving the Swabians in the Bundesliga 2022/23 ended in a draw, which is 83.3% of the total. In another match Stuttgart lost the derby to Freiburg. The Swabians are out of the relegation zone, in 14th position, but Wolfsburg has the same number of points in the zone of transitional matches, so a failure in Saturday's fight could cause the future hosts to fall into the bottom three.
Eintracht form
The Eagles play on two fronts, which is nothing new for Eintracht, although in previous seasons, the Eagles didn't play in the Champions League, which requires more resources than the Europa League. In midweek Eintracht defeated Marseille 1-0 away, and before that the Eagles lost to Sporting in the opening round of the Champions League and were weaker than Wolfsburg in the BL. After six rounds, Eintracht is 11th in the division with 8 points and a goal difference of 11:12, something like the golden mean. The Eagles' away statistics are 10th in the league: a draw with Hertha and a 4-3 victory over Werder.

Expert Betting Tips
Eintracht is an uncomfortable opponent for Stuttgart, which is clearly evident from the statistics of head-to-head encounters. Despite this and the Schwabians's lack of victories in the Bundesliga 2022/23, the Reds are quoted in the pair as favorites, albeit slightly. Eintracht is more loaded, the eagles play on two fronts, however, the club has long been accustomed to this, the management and coaching staff knew their pace perfectly well from the start. Eintracht is facing the task to break into the European Cups in the current season, and so far the Eagles are outside the top 6. Eintracht goes to the south of Germany for points and we think that the Eagles will get at least one point. We offer these betting odds for the meeting:
