Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
All eyes will be on MHPArena when Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt square off against each other in the Bundesliga round 10. Die Schwaben did well to hold Bayer Leverkusen to a goalless draw at BayArena and a win over Frankfurt will see them move closer to the Champions League berth. Jamie Leweling suffered a hamstring injury at the weekend, joining the likes of Luca Raimund, Dan-Axel Zagadou, and Justin Diehl in the treatment room, with Fabian Rieder likely to step up.
Die Adler, on the other hand, rolled over Bochum 7-2 to stay in the Champions League berth and given Stuttgart’s attacking potential at home ground, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Stuttgart defenders should have pacey Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike at bay as the 22-year-old scored a brace in the last Bundesliga game. All Rasmus Kristensen, Oscar Hojlund, and Sasa Kalajdzic are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
