Stuttgart: In pretty bad shape (Recent Form: LLDLWW)

Stuttgart got relegated from the Bundesliga last season, as the club lost the play out battle with Union Berlin, despite being the big favorite in this tie and they started the new season as one of the main favorites for the top two positions and the direct promotion and a place back in the Bundesliga for next year. And so far, the club is indeed in the battle for the top two, but overall their performance is below what the expectations were before the start and especially as of recently their performance has been pretty bad. So far in the campaign Stuttgart managed to collect forty five points in their opening twenty seven league games played (13-6-8), as with that they are currently on third place in the table, still just one single point behind the second Hamburger, against which they are playing tomorrow, and the direct promotion spot. Like I said, as of recently the team is on a pretty bad run of being able to collect just one single point in their last four league matches (0-1-3), as especially the defense has been terrible in this period. But still, Stuttgart remains the best performing home side, with a whole ten victories in their opening thirteen home matches (10-1-2). Overall Stuttgart is with sixteen overs in their opening twenty seven league games, having an average of 2.9 goals per game.



Hamburger: Battling for the promotion (Recent Form: DDWLLD)

A terrible run of games at the end of last season cost Hamburger the chance to finish in the top three, as this year they have again started as one of the favorites in 2 Bundesliga and with ambitions to get back in the Bundesliga for next year. Right now the team is on second place in the table with forty six points collected (12-10-5), but in the same time just like their opponent Stuttgart are in bad shape as of recently, having been able to win just one single time in their last six games (1-3-2). The team is with fourteen overs in their opening twenty seven league matches so far and also with four in their last five visits.

The Betting Verdict:

A game between free soccer tips the two big favorites before the start of the season, who are now battling for the second place, as with both being in bad shape recently, I expect goals tomorrow.
