HOFFENHEIM VS STUTTART
German Budesliga, Sat 03/10/2015, 2:30pm
Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim has managed its first win in the new season in its last game against Augsburg away from home (1-3) getting only 2 points from the first 6 games. Hoffenheim has only picked up 1 point from its 3 so far home games, scoring and conceding at least 1 goal per game in all 3 of them and 2 of which ended as goal/goal and over 2.5 goals games. It is worth mentioning that this point at home came from a draw against Dortmund after a relatively good performance against one of the major contesters for the Budesliga title.
It is doubtful whether Kuranyi (attacker), Hamad (midfielder) and Elyounoussi (midfielder) are going to make it for today’s game.
Expected line-up (4-3-3-): Baumann, Kaderabek, Süle, Bicakcic, Toljan, Schwegler, Polanski, Rudy, Schmid, Volland, Vargas
Stuttgart
Stuttgart has only gotten 3 points so far this season after beating Hannover (the only team that is below Stuttgart on the league table) with 1-3 away from home, suffering 6 defeats in the rest of the games. The hosts have a 6-6 goals’ aggregate in their 3 so far away games, reflecting 3 goal/goal and over 2.5 goals outcomes. It should be mentioned that Stuttgart has the worst defensive record so far this season, conceding 17 goals in 7 games, i.e. an average of 2.5 goals per game.
Today, Stuttgart will be missing the services of Langerak (goalkeeper), Kostic (midfielder) and Kruse (midfielder).
Expected line-up (4-5-1): Tyton, Klein, Sunjic, Baumgartl, Insua, Serey Dié, Gentner, Harnik, Didavi, Werner, Ginczek
Prediction
Based on the above considerations, what we should be aiming for is crystal clear;
Goal/goal & over 2.5 goals, odd: 1.72 BET365
