Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Hoffenheim and Stuttgart face each other at PreZero Arena in the opening match of the Bundesliga day 24. Hoffenheim aim to build on back-to-back wins over Arminia Bielefeld and Wolfsburg, and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach on Friday evening. Both Geiger and Grillitsch are back from suspension, while all Vogt, Asllani, Stiller, Richards, Gacinovic, Skov, and Bicakcic should miss out with injuries.
Die Schwaben, on the other hand, sit in the relegation zone ahead of the trip Sinheim. Stuttgart have been struggling at the back of late, and given Hoffenheim’s excellent home record, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. All Daniel Didavi, Tanguy Coulibaly, and Enzo Millot are rated doubtful following their recent positive tests for coronavirus, while Mvumpa, Meyer, Nartey, and Sankoh remain in the recovery room.
