Preview

Match preview

1899 Hoffenheim host VfB Stuttgart at the PreZero Arena looking to recover from a difficult start to the Bundesliga campaign. Hoffenheim sit in 16th position after back-to-back 3-2 defeats against 1. FC Koln and Borussia Dortmund, showcasing an attack capable of finding the net alongside a defence that has conceded three goals in each outing.

VfB Stuttgart arrive in 9th place with three points from their opening two matches, having bounced back from a 5-1 loss at Bayern Munchen with an emphatic 4-1 victory over 1. FC Koln. Stuttgart have demonstrated plenty of attacking thrust, spearheaded by J. Vagnoman who has two goals, but they have also conceded six goals across their first two fixtures.

Historical encounters between these two sides suggest another competitive and open game. The last ten head-to-head meetings have produced six draws and an average of 3.1 goals per match, with 80 percent of those fixtures seeing both sides on the scoresheet.
