Command Analysis

VfB Stuttgart

Current form
It is quite expected that the current season is difficult for Stuttgart. The summer losses in the squad are taking their toll, plus the team does not have much strength and experience to successfully play in a tight schedule. Nevertheless, the Swabians have quite a working chance to win a ticket to the playoffs with three rounds to go. They have four points and on the eve of the sixth round matches the gap from the top 24 is only two points. It is undoubtedly important to take three points in the game with the outsider today.
In the last two rounds of the Champions League, https://www.vfb.de/en target=_blank rel=noopener>Stuttgart lost to Atalanta (0:2) at home and failed in Belgrade against Crvena Zvezda (1:5). Sebastian Hoeneß men secured their only victory away from home against Juventus with a minimal score of 1:0. As you can see, the team is demonstrating unpredictable results, there is no talk of any stability.
The Bundesliga is in many ways similar to the Champions League, you can see different results, and not always everything depends on the opponent. Thus, in the last five rounds, Stuttgart managed to draw with Bayer and modest Werder. In the previous game, they managed to make an impressive comeback with Union, recovering from a score of 0:2 to 3:2. In the championship standings, the Swabians occupy eighth place.

Zagadou, Raimund, Leveling, Undave and Toure are all out with injuries, with Al Dakhil questionable.

Young Boys

Current form
Young Boys have not stabilized their results even after the coaching change in October. They have managed to achieve success in individual matches in the national championship, but nothing more. In the Champions League, after five rounds, the Bees are at the bottom of the standings, and have not scored a single point. At the same time, they have the worst goal difference even compared to their competitors: they have scored only twice, and have managed to concede 17 goals.
During the entire Champions League period, Young Boys put up more or less decent resistance to Inter (0:1) and Shakhtar (1:2). In the last round, a crushing 1:6 defeat was recorded against Atalanta.
17 rounds have been played in the Swiss championship, Joel Magnin charges have 20 points and a modest ninth place in the table. The team is not even in the top 6, which will continue to fight for the title and for tickets to the European Cups. In the previous round of the national championship, the "yellow-blacks" failed to cope with "Sion" on the road (1:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Zukru, Janko, Chaiva, Colley and Elia will not be able to take the field today.

1.60Tip and bets
Stuttgart are not showing a stable game, but in individual matches they are capable of showing their best and achieving success, which could be seen in the confrontation with the same Juventus, and recovering from 0:2 with Union with its reliable defense is also worth a lot. Young Boys looks much weaker than the Swabians even without taking into account the difference in class. The Bees are not showing anything in the national championship, and in the Champions League they have not yet scored a single point. It is important for the hosts to get three points today, given the fight for a place in the playoffs. We expect that they will be able to do this.
Our prediction is a victory for Stuttgart with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.86
Bet on total
In five rounds of the Champions League, Young Boys have conceded 17 goals, while Stuttgart have conceded 11. A draw today will not suit anyone, and we can expect an open, productive game.
The second bet is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 1.90
Bet on the exact difference in the score
It should be noted that Young Boys are not showing their best defense and it is unlikely that the team will be able to avoid a major defeat. In two of the three previous away matches, the Bees lost by two or three goals, which is what we expect today.
Prediction: Stuttgart win by two to three goals with odds of 2.60
