Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Bundesliga match.
Despite Wolfsburg’s inconsistent results, their attacking output remains strong. Stuttgart, meanwhile, have been involved in high-scoring encounters, with over 2.5 goals landing in four of their last five matches. Both teams are attack-minded, making an open contest likely.
Stuttgart
After a difficult run featuring losses to Mainz (0:2), Paris Saint-Germain (1:4), and Borussia M'gladbach (1:2), Stuttgart bounced back impressively with a 2:1 win at Borussia Dortmund. Despite generating just 0.35 xG, they capitalised on their chances, while Deniz Undav missed a clear-cut opportunity to make it more comfortable. At home, Stuttgart have been one of the most potent attacking sides, creating 26.16 xG, second only to Bayern Munich (37.12). However, they will be without key defensive midfielder Atakan Karazor (suspension), which could expose them defensively and lead to an even more open game.
Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg’s recent struggles have pushed them further from the European places, yet their matches remain high-event affairs. They rank seventh in xG (34.34) and seventh from the bottom in xGA (37.90), highlighting both their attacking strength and defensive frailties. Their away record has been solid, collecting 17 points on the road—the fourth-best in the league. Against a Stuttgart side missing a key defensive player, Wolfsburg should find plenty of attacking opportunities.
Stuttgart vs Wolfsburg Prediction
With Stuttgart’s attacking prowess at home and Wolfsburg’s defensive vulnerabilities, goals should flow. Their recent meetings also support this – four of their last five encounters have seen over 2.5 goals. Expect another high-scoring match between these two sides.
