Stuttgart to Win
Stuttgart are the Bundesliga’s only team still searching for a first win this season, though they have a huge opportunity to break their duck for the campaign against bottom club Bochum on Saturday. The visitors have lost each of their first four away fixtures this term, conceding a whopping 11 goals along the way and Stuttgart should have chances to put them away this weekend. Stuttgart gave league leading Union Berlin a run for their money in their last home assignment and they can use that performance at a platform for success against Bochum.
Under 2.5 Goals
Tension should be high at the Mercedes-Benz-Arena this weekend for Saturday’s basement battle and with both teams desperate to avoid another defeat, we expect margins to be slim. Bochum are the Bundesliga’s lowest-scoring side this term, while Stuttgart are the joint-second lowest and neither side has the firepower to blow the other away this weekend. Under 2.5 goals landed in each of the teams’ tepid tussle last season and we’re tipping the same market to come up trumps again here.
