Stuttgart will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in the Bundesliga this weekend when they compete in the German top-flight against Bochum. The hosts will also have a point to prove after going two without a victory in the competition.
Stuttgart enjoyed a stunning first half to the season, but they were handed an early setback after returning from the winter break last weekend. The German side will be looking to immediately put that defeat behind them when they are back in action on Saturday, with a victory being required to ensure that they remain clear of Borussia Dortmund inside the top four.
Stuttgart remains in high quality form this term, having won eleven of their 17 matches in the competition. They rank among the highest scorers in the Bundesliga after netting 38, but they will likely need to improve defensively in the second half of the season. Stuttgart were shocked on the road last weekend against Borussia Monchengladbach, as they suffered a 3-1 loss.
Bochum will also have questions that they will need to answer this weekend, as the German side has dropped to 14th in the standings after going two without a victory. However, their recent form remains encouraging, as they have won twice across their last five. That is an excellent return to form having won just once in their opening 12 matches.
Bochum returned to action in the Bundesliga last weekend, as they picked up a home draw against Werder Bremen. They appeared to be heading toward maximum points in that fixture following Patrick Osterhage’s opener after the hour mark. However, Werder equalized in the 93rd minute.
Stuttgart have excelled in this fixture throughout Bundesliga history. They have won each of their last three in the top-flight against Bochum, and they are unbeaten in five previous Bundesliga encounters. Meanwhile, they are unbeaten in ten matches against Bochum across all competitions. Stuttgart landed a 5-0 win in the previous match between the sides this season.
Stuttgart have dominated the previous encounters between these sides since 2016, and that looks a challenging factor to overlook this weekend. Therefore, we will be siding with the visiting side claiming maximum points in the Bundesliga this weekend to enhance their chances of a Champions League finish.
