VfB Stuttgart head over to the SNP Arena on Saturday to face title favourites Hoffenheim in a round 3 match in the Bundesliga.

With a win and a defeat to their name, VfB Stuttgart enter round three of the Bundesliga season looking to double their haul of points against Hoffenheim.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Hoffenheim and VfB Stuttgart are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at SNP Arena as the teams look to get one over each other.

Hoffenheim go into their next Bundesliga match, scoring a humble average of 1.5 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 15 times, while conceding 24. That amounts to an average of 2.4 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring one times.

Hoffenheim vs VfB Stuttgart Prediction

Hoffenheim Form

Hoffenheim managed one win in the last three matches, which was a 0-4 victory against Erzgebirge Aue. They went on to lose 3-2 against FC Koln, before getting dumped in a 2-3 defeat against Borussia Dortmund. Hoffenheim only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Bundesliga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored ten and conceded ten goals.

VfB Stuttgart Form

VfB Stuttgart look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against Bayern Munich, they were left empty-handed in a 5-1 defeat, but they bounced back by beating FC Koln in a 4-1 win. They followed that up with a 3-1 win against Viking in their most recent outing. VfB Stuttgart only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. In these six matches they drew three and lost two as well as being outscored by 18 goals to 15.

Hoffenheim and VfB Stuttgart seem to have a strong read on the game plan of this particular opponent, as their last three encounters offered no winner. With that in mind, the draw once again makes an attractive bet.
