Hoffenheim take on the visitors Stuttgart in the round 17 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 24th at PreZero Arena (Sinsheim).
Hoffenheim started with a defeat in the championship in the new year, extending their unsuccessful streak without points scored to four rounds in a row. But at the same time, with the effectiveness of The Blues everything is in order – 23 goals in 16 Bundesliga matches. And all the problems from unreliable defense - 25 goals conceded. We have grounds to expect that in the upcoming round the team will also score and concede.

Stuttgart are even lower than the opponent in the table - in the relegation zone. But at the same time, the Swabians also score more than a goal per game on average this season - 19 goals in 16 rounds. And they conceded as often as Hoffenheim do - 25 goals in 16 league matches. It is unlikely that Stuttgart will finish the match with a clean sheet in the next round, but it may well find at least one goal of its own.
Both teams know how to attack, but are not known for reliable performances at their gates. Both are fighting for survival, the hosts have only three more points in the piggy bank than the visitors. Both teams need victory like air, and goals are needed to win. I think it's worth waiting for at least one on each side. For 16 rounds of the championship, Hoffenheim recorded only four clean sheets and the exchange of goals happened as much as in ten fights. Recently, the Blues lost in the Bundesliga, but they still consistently score. In the previous five rounds, the team’s matches featured goals on both ends. The Swabians had managed to keep their gates out of touch only once in 16 league matches. But they themselves could not upset the opponent in only five fights of the season. In four of the five previous rounds of the league, Stuttgart exchanged goals with opponents. In personal meetings between the Blues and the Swabians, the bet on both teams to scored also plays very often. In the last five of those matches, this did not happen only once. I think we should expect an exchange of precise blows from this confrontation.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
