Stadium: PreZero Arena (Sinsheim)
16.03.2024 20:30
When Stuttgart visits Hoffenheim at the PreZero Arena in Sinsheim on Saturday night at 20:30 (GMT+3), they will be looking to extend their winning streak in the Bundesliga to eight games. Stuttgart has not finished in the top three of Germany's top division since 2008-09; in contrast, Die Roten has had a fantastic season, finishing third in 2023-24 with 50 points from their 24 league games. Stuttgart has placed 15th and 16th in their past two Bundesliga campaigns.
Four points behind die Adler is seventh-place Hoffenheim, the first team outside of the Conference League Qualifiers. Hoffenheim showed their worth by defeating Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund back-to-back, and considering their improvements in front of goal, we think there's a lot of value in betting on both teams to score.

VFB Stuttgart
In the German Bundesliga, Stuttgart won against Union Berlin on Saturday. This victory not only gave the hosts their fifth straight victory but also solidified their third-place standing under Sebastian Hoeness's leadership.
Stuttgart's chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season have been bolstered by recent victories against RB Leipzig (5-2), Freiburg (3-1), Mainz (3-1), Darmstadt 2-1, and the previously mentioned 3-2 victory away at Wolfsburg. Going into Friday night's match, the hosts have a sizable seven-point lead over fifth-place RB Leipzig.
Following a difficult stretch of results from mid-December to the end of January, when Stuttgart won just once in five games, a 3-0 victory at home against Augsburg. Sebastian Hoeness' team has produced an impressive run of results, winning five of their next six games. On Friday night, the hosts will be looking to add another three points to their record.
Expert Betting Tips
Hoffenheim is in great form and has just lost one of their previous five Bundesliga games, but they will be up against a strong Stuttgart team. As they are now winning a lot of games, we anticipate that the visitors will routinely score two or more goals after the 90 minutes. The form of Hoffenheim implies they can score at least one goals.
A scoreline of 2-1 or 2-1 is anticipated as we believe Stuttgart will win and anticipate BTTS.
