Prediction: 1-0
Bochum
Following a routine 4-0 win over Balingen in their DFB Pokal opener, Stuttgart will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Bochum in the Bundesliga round 1. Die Schwaben were producing fine displays in preseason, with the team outclassing Premier League side Sheffield United 3-0 in their last warm-up game and, as a result, they are seen as favourites to beat Bochum on home soil. Goalkeeper Fabian Bredlow is a major doubt, while all Undav, Nartey, Vagnoman, Mittelstadt, and Kastanaras are sidelined with injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, are determined to secure yet another Bundesliga survival, but given their difficulties at the back in pre-season games, home win should be considered. As for the visiting side, all Asano, Oermann, Riemann, Kwarteng, and Tolba should miss out with injuries, while Philipp Forster will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
