Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Mercedes-Benz Arena will host Saturday’s football game between Stuttgart and Bochum, the two bottom-table sides. Die Schwaben have been slipping down the standings week by week, and, no doubt, they are desperate to put an end to their four-game losing run. January signing Tiago Tomas, who scored a brace in a 4-2 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, should keep his place in the starting XI, while all Sasa Kalajdzic, Jordan Meyer, Lilian Egloff, Nikolas Nartey, and Mohamed Sankoh are out of contention with injuries.
Bochum, on the other hand, recorded a historical 4-2 win over star-studded Bayern Munchen to move one step closer to securing the Bundesliga survival. The hosts, though, want this win more than the visitors, and given Bochum’s anything but brilliant away record, we believe that there is a big value in betting on die Schwaben. Elvis Rexhbecaj is banned for the visitors, while both Danny Blum and Simon Zoller miss out with injuries.
