Hoffenheim – Stuttgart Predictions and Preview

  • The new year brought about the same old problems for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, who squandered a half-time lead to lose 3-1 against Union Berlin after conceding twice beyond the 88th minute. That was a fourth consecutive league defeat for André Breitenreiter’s side, with the Blues manager under increasing pressure as his side tumble down the table.
  • Hoffenheim now return to the PreZero Arena but home comforts are unlikely to be found as they’ve also lost four on the spin here too, conceding at least twice in each of those defeats. They’ve never lost five successive home games in the Bundesliga though, so perhaps a resurgence could be triggered here given their unbeaten record in the last seven H2Hs against Stuttgart at this venue (W5, D2).
  • Sitting in the relegation playoff spot and three points worse off than Hoffenheim, Stuttgart could be the perfect opponents for the hosts as they’ve failed to win any of their last 17 Bundesliga away games. Another loss on the road here would equal their worst run since going 26 top-flight games without victory between 1974 and 1977, and would plunge them even further into trouble.
  • Improvements away from home will be crucial for manager Bruno Labbadia, who returned to Stuttgart during the World Cup break after managing the club between 2010 and 2013. Die Schwaben’s fight for survival wasn’t helped by relinquishing the lead to draw with Mainz on their return after the winter break, despite Labbadia’s assertions that his side ‘deserved to win’ in his first game back as manager.
  • Players to watch: Hoffenheim wing-back Angeliño could be his side’s good luck charm here, as he’s won all three of his personal H2Hs with Stuttgart. He could be squaring off against Serhou Guirassy, who has avoided defeat in five of his six goalscoring appearances this term (W3, D2).
  • Hot stat: Stuttgart have kept just one clean sheet in the Bundesliga this season, the joint-fewest in the division.
