Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim Prediction and Betting Tips | October 28, 2023

High-flying Stuttgart will look to move to the top of the Bundesliga when they go head-to-head with Hoffenheim on Saturday.

Stuttgart turned in another performance of the highest quality in a 3-0 win over Union Berlin at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei on Saturday. Sebastian Hoeness’ men have won eight straight games across competitions since a 5-1 loss to RB Leipzig on August 25.

With 21 points from eight games, Stuttgart are second in the Bundesliga, one point off leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

Hoffenheim, meanwhile, failed to arrest their slump in form in a 3-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. Pellegrini Matarazzo’s men have lost two of their last three games, having lost just one of their opening five.

This drop-off in form has seen Hoffenheim slip to sixth place in the league, two points behind fifth-placed Leipzig.
