Stuttgart come into this game in good form apart from one recent loss, and they've won three of their last five matches. Schalke are also playing fairly well, with a couple of wins, a loss and two draws in their recent games. Both teams look reasonably solid right now, so neither side seems to be struggling badly heading into this one.

Recent meetings between these two have been mixed. Some were tight, low-scoring draws, while one game a few years back produced a lot of goals. Overall, this looks like a close, fairly even contest with both teams capable of getting something from it, so a draw seems the most likely outcome.
