Stuttgart
Stuttgart had a very weak season, occupying only 15th place in the table after 11 rounds. Only one point separates the Swabians from the zone of transitional matches, two points are the zone of direct relegation. The 0:1 defeat to Arminia in the last round was Stuttgart’s second in a row and extended the team’s unbeaten streak to four matches. Thus, the position of Pellegrino Matarazzo remains rather precarious. But without Silas Mwumpa, known until last summer as Silas Wamangituk, Sasha Kaladzic, as well as two main central defenders in the person of Konstantinos Mavropanos and Mark-Oliver Kempf, the Swabians are in a very difficult time. In such conditions, at least until winter, the American mentor will certainly retain his post.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
Borussia looked inconspicuous in the last matches, but if staffing problems were felt quite sharply against the background of Leipzig and Ajax, then the situation with a simpler opponent will not be so critical. At the same time, Stuttgart itself is in a difficult personnel position. In defense the Swabians fail regularly, so Borussia should not have problems with a confident victory. We believe that guests have no chance. Prediction is for Asian handicap (-1.5) for Borussia. In BC 1xBet such an outcome is offered with a coefficient of 2.05. Borussia still maintains second place and four points behind Bayern do not look like an abyss, but another mistake could turn into trouble, especially since Freiburg and Wolfsburg are in close proximity. Considering how weak "Stuttgart" is in defense, "Bumblebees" are unlikely to limit themselves to a minimal victory. Our second bet will be Borussia's victory by two goals. This bet can be placed for 4.30. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 2.05. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
