Key stats
- Stuttgart are on a four-match undefeated streak across all competitions (W3, D1).
- Die Roten are winless in back-to-back home league outings (D1, L1).
- Frankfurt have lost just two of their eight away Bundesliga fixtures (W3, D3)
- Die Adler are winless in six of their last seven competitive games (D3, L3).
Correct score prediction: Stuttgart 2-2 Frankfurt
Stuttgart cruised to a handsome victory in their opening game of the calendar year, shipping four past former Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen to win 4-1. Since their 5-0 humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich in early December, Sebastian Hoeness’ men have netted four goals in three of their last four competitive fixtures.
Meanwhile, Frankfurt and Dortmund treated fans to a six-goal thriller in the first Bundesliga match of 2026, with the 3-3 draw marking the former’s sixth winless match in seven games. To add to their woes, their recent away form has been poor as well – winless in three competitive trips away from home.
The Reds have been in superior form on home turf, but their inability to score in back-to-back home games is worrisome. While we expect Stuttgart to get back to scoring ways, Frankfurt should come away with a significant point at the MHP Arena.

Player to watch: Deniz Undav
While Harry Kane is the runaway top scorer with 19 strikes, Undav is his closest competitor for the Bundesliga golden boot. The 29-year-old German marksman has nine goals to his name, including a match-winning brace and an assist in Stuttgart’s 4-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen last matchday. Die Roten will rely on his effectiveness in the final-third if they are to squeeze a victory in this encounter.
