VfB Stuttgart vs Sport-Club Freiburg: Match Prediction
VfB Stuttgart, on home ground, are showing excellent form. The home side won 7 of their last 10 league matches at this stadium, and in two of those games they dropped points only against top-four opponents. Those were the only rivals the club failed to score against. In the remaining matches VfB Stuttgart scored a total of 17 goals. Overall, there is a notable surge in the team’s attacking output, having scored at least three goals in 3 of their last 4 Bundesliga matches.
Sport-Club Freiburg have only one defeat in their last 6 league matches (3 wins, 2 draws), but their schedule was favourable, with Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund the only strong opponents. However, the visiting team conceded even to sides from the lower half of the table, and Sport-Club Freiburg will join that group if away results do not improve. On the road the visitors have won only twice this season (3 draws, 4 losses), and in 5 consecutive away matches at least two goals were scored against them.
Prediction: VfB Stuttgart Double Chance And Over 2.5 Goals
* For each team the starting lineup shown is from its previous match in this competition.
