Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Stuttgart play host to Hoffenheim at their Mercedes-Benz Arena in the Bundesliga round 7. Die Schwaben head into the match following a goalless draw with Bochum where they had no more than eight goal attempts. Key attacker Sasa Kalajdzic remains in the recovery room, as well as Mohamed Sankoh, Momo Cisse, Lilian Egloff, and Silas Katompa Mvumpa, while midfielder Philipp Forster has been tested positive for coronavirus.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Wolfsburg, but seeing that they are not regarded as good travelers, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Midfielder Angelo Stiller remains quarantined, while all Ermin Bicakcic, Benjamin Hubner, and Havard Nordtveit are all out of contention with injuries. Sebastian Rudy is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
