Our free expert picks: Stuttgart to triumph in 3-1 win

Don’t forget to check out more of our best betting tips and predictions after you’ve picked through our Darmstadt vs Stuttgart prediction below.

In-form Stuttgart have been priced as favourites to prevail on Saturday and they could also be good business at 1/2 (1.50) to score over 1.5 team goals. That outcome carries a 66.7% chance of coming in according to the latest numbers.

Hot tip – Stuttgart to Win

• Stuttgart brushed Darmstadt aside in a 3-1 win over their opponents in September.
• Darmstadt failed to win each of their last 14 Bundesliga fixtures.

Other tips

Darmstadt 1-3 Stuttgart

• Stuttgart won the last meeting between these clubs 3-1 in September.
• Stuttgart won 3-1 in each of their last two league assignments.

Over 2.5 Goals

• Stuttgart’s Bundesliga fixtures have been averaging 3.60 goals per game this season.
• Four goals hit the net in the last tussle between these sides.

Player to watch – Serhou Guirassy

Serhou Guirassy has been warming the bench since his return to the fold from international duty, though he should reclaim his spot up front in the absence of the injured Deniz Undav.

Guirassy to get back among the goals?

Guirassy scored twice against Darmstadt for Stuttgart in September and the striker, who has notched 17 times in the Bundesliga overall this term, should have more opportunities to convert in Saturday’s rematch.
