Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought Champions League win over Juventus, Stuttgart will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga round 8. Die Schwaben produced a brilliant display in Turin and, no doubt, they are brimming with confidence ahead of Saturday’s Bundesliga game. Mali forward El Bilal Toure is pushing for a rare start after sealing the victory against the Bianconeri, while all Chris Fuhrich, Luca Raimund, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Justin Diehl, Leonidas Stergiou, and Nikolas Nartey remain in the treatment room.
Holstein Kiel, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Union Berlin and they will have yet another big fish to fry against Stuttgart, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The likes of Andu Kelati, Carl Johansson, Colin Kleine-Bekel, and veteran midfielder Lewis Holtby miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
