Stuttgart vs Bochum: Bundesliga Match Prediction
Stuttgart went into the international break on an unpleasant streak of three matches without a win in all tournaments. Bochum has not won a single match in the Bundesliga since the start of the season, but took points from Bayer in the last round. Will the hosts be able to confidently confirm the favorite status that bookmakers have assigned them on November 23? We recommend that you read our forecast and choose reliable bets
Command Analysis
VfB Stuttgart
GermanyCurrent form
Stuttgart demonstrates a bright game in individual matches and occasionally resembles itself from last season, but overall the team has noticeably slowed down. The losses in the squad during the off-season and the busy schedule, when they also have to fight in the Champions League, are having an effect. After 10 rounds, Sebastian Hoeneß charges occupy a modest 11th place, having earned 13 points. True, the density in the table is decent, the gap from the top 6, for example, is only three points. In the last round, the Swabians lost to Eintracht on their home field (2:3), and in the last five rounds they have won only one victory over Holstein with an advantage of one goal (2:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Zagadou, Raimund, Leveling and Undave will be out today due to injuries. Chase, Millot, Stiller and Toure are questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Eight of Stuttgart last ten Bundesliga matches have featured goal exchanges
- At least three goals have been scored in nine of the Swabians' previous 11 league matches
Estimated line-up: Nübel – Wagnoman, Rouault, Chabot, Mittelstaedt – Stenzel, Karazor – Rieder, Voltemade, Fürich – Demirovic.
Bochum
GermanyCurrent form
Dieter Hecking debut as head coach was successful. Bochum hosted Bayer on its home field and drew with the current champion (1:1). They managed to come back at the very end of the game, clearly such a result can give the players confidence in their own abilities. In the tournament table, the "unbending" are still in the last line with two points to their credit. It should be noted that the outsider is doing very well in terms of scoring - 10 goals, in the last five rounds they were unable to open up only Bayern defense (0:5). It should be noted that Hecking immediately made significant changes not only to the lineup, but also to the lineup - Bochum played against Bayer with three central defenders.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Boadu will not play due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Bochum have conceded in the first half in seven previous Bundesliga matches
- Seven of Bochum last eight league games have seen at least three goals scored
Estimated line-up: Drewes - Erman, Medich, Wittek - Passlack, Sissoko, Losilla, Holtmann - Miyosi, Bero - Hofman.

8.90Tip and bets
Stuttgart have noticeably slowed down and are not showing a confident game. The last victory of the Swabians with an advantage of more than one goal dates back to September 22 over Borussia Dortmund (5:1). After the change of coach, Bochum managed to take points from Bayer and, with a decent emotional upswing, is quite capable of fighting for points with Stuttgart. We think that the visitors can at least avoid a major defeat.
Our prediction is a Bochum victory with an Asian handicap (+1.5) at odds of 2.14
Bet on total
It was clear from the game against Bayer that the new Bochum coach is betting on a solid defense, the team played with three central defenders and conceded only one goal. We believe that the coaching staff will choose the same tactics today. It is unlikely that more than three goals will be scored in the match.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.96
Bet on the first half
It is worth noting that Stuttgart have not won in the first half in their last four matches. It is quite possible that Bochum will hold off the hosts' initial onslaught today.
Prediction - Bochum will not lose in the first half with odds of 2.18
