Wolfsburg will invite Stuttgart to Volkswagen Arena in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The hosts have won just one of their six league games and are 15th in the league table. Die Roten have four wins to their name and are currently fourth in the standings.
Die Wölfe have seen a drop in form, and they are winless in their last five league games. They met Augsburg in their previous outing before the international break and fell to a 3-1 away defeat, extending their losing streak to three games.
The visitors, meanwhile, extended their winning streak in the league to three games earlier this month with a 1-0 triumph over Heidenheim. Bilal El Khannouss scored the only goal of the match in the 65th minute.

Wolfsburg vs Stuttgart Prediction
Die Weißgrünen are winless across all competitions since August. Notably, their two wins this season have both been registered on their travels. They have conceded five goals in three Bundesliga home games this season, and will look to improve upon that record.
Patrick Wimmer, Denis Vavro, Kevin Paredes, Jesper Lindstrøm, and Mathys Angély are sidelined with injuries, while Maximilian Arnold is a major doubt. Christian Eriksen could make his first start of the season here.
Die Schwaben have won four of their last five games across all competitions, scoring two goals apiece in three. They have scored at least two goals in their last four away meetings against the Wolves, and will look to build on that form.
Stefan Drljača, Silas, Deniz Undav, and Dan-Axel Zagadou will be unavailable for the visitors.
Considering the current form of the two teams and the visitors' away record in this fixture, we back the Reds to eke out a win.
