Game Preview
On Saturday, Stuttgart and Hoffenheim, two teams that still have a chance to be booted from the Bundesliga this year, will square off at the Mercedes-Benz Arena. Hoffenheim is currently in 13th place, three points ahead of the relegation playoff spot, while the home team is in 15th in the table, level on points with Bochum in 16th place.
Stuttgart was demoted from the Bundesliga at the conclusion of the 2018–19 season, but they returned to the top division at the first attempt, and in their two seasons back at this level, they have placed ninth and fifteenth. The Reds, however, face the possibility of slipping back into the second division as they are tied for 16th place with Bochum and only one point clear of Schalke 04 in 17th place.
Die Schwaben’s task is rather straightforward because, even if Bochum defeats Bayer Leverkusen at home, they still need to score 23 goals to ensure their survival. Stuttgart might lose and still finish above the relegation zone if Bochum loses to Leverkusen and Schalke fails to defeat RB Leipzig, but they would also be safe with a point if Bochum and Schalke both lose.
The host team comes into this game off of a 4-1 win over Mainz last weekend and a much-appreciated point against Leverkusen on May 14. These results put the home team’s fate in their own hands going into a thrilling final day of Bundesliga action with a lot still up for grabs.
Let’s check the latest picks, Bundesliga news, stats and Bundesliga expert picks for Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim. We’ve plenty of Bundesliga predictions for you to consider.
Hoffenheim, meanwhile, comes into this game off of a 4-2 victory over Union Berlin, giving them two wins in their previous three Bundesliga contests. Though Bochum is only three points ahead of the Blues in the standings, the Blues still have a mathematical chance to finish 16th, but it is quite improbable that they will fall that far and enter the relegation playoffs.
For Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team, a draw would be sufficient to ensure their survival; but, as long as Bochum doesn’t score 26 goals more than they do, they may still lose and still be safe. Hoffenheim hasn’t competed outside of Germany’s top division since the 2007–08 season, despite finishing fourth and third in the league in those two seasons.
