Stuttgart have been in decent form lately, winning three of their last five matches, though they did lose their most recent game. Hoffenheim are also playing well, having won three of their last five. Both teams are generally scoring goals and look reasonably comfortable at the moment.

When these two meet, the games have often been close and sometimes full of goals, with several recent meetings ending level and a couple of high-scoring draws. Given that both sides are in similar shape and tend to cancel each other out, this one looks like a tight, even contest that could easily end in a draw.
