Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
High-flying Stuttgart will look to record their fifth consecutive win in all competitions when they face St. Pauli in the Bundesliga round 15. Die Schwaben have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against St. Pauli. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Sebastian Hoeness is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Heidenheim 3-1 at the weekend.
The newcomers, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, losing to both Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen in the last two league matches. As over the years Stuttgart have turned their MHPArena into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Speaking of the away side, all Ben Alexander Voll, Simon Zoller, Conor Metcalfe, Sascha Burchert, Scott Banks, Soeren Ahlers, and Elias Saad are out of contention with injuries.
