Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Stuttgart will be aiming to secure the Bundesliga survival with a win over Koln on the last day of the 2021/2022 Bundesliga campaign. Die Schwaben proved their worth in a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich, but they face a must-win situation against the Billy Goats. Stuttgart aim to put an end to their six-game winless run, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field.
Sasa Kalajdzic, who found the net in the Allianz Arena draw, will be the man to watch in the home team, while all Massimo, Stenzel, Ahamada, Mvumpa, Nartey, and Sankoh should miss out with injuries. Koln, on the other hand, are eyeing a spot in the Europa League, but we are tempted to put our money on the relegation-threatened hosts, who produced a fine display in their last league match. Both Tomas Ostrak and Marvin Obuz are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
