Command Analysis

VfB Stuttgart

Current form
Before the start of the Bundesliga season, Stuttgart was considered one of the clear contenders for a ticket to the Champions League, but the first round is clearly failing. At the moment, Sebastian Hoeneß team is only in 10th place in the table with 23 points. The Swabians are only four points behind fourth-placed Leipzig and are still quite capable of putting up a fight. In the last round before the winter break, Stuttgart lost 0:1 to St. Pauli, suffering their fourth defeat of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Stuttgart have won four of their last five matches
- Stuttgart have scored in eight of their last nine matches
Estimated line-up: Nubel – Mittelstaedt, Chabot, Rouault, Vangoman – Fuhrich, Stiller, Keitel, Milhaud – Voltmeid, Demirovic.

Ajax

Current form
Before the start of the season in the Dutch Eredivisie, Ajax was considered one of the contenders for the championship title, but was not the favorite in the championship race. Francesco Farioli team has been performing more than decently in the first part of the season and is in second place in the table after 17 rounds, six points behind the leader PSV, such a handicap leaves a chance for the championship title. In the last round before the winter break, Ajax beat Sparta Rotterdam 2-0.

The visitors have no problems with their lineup.

- Ajax have won their last three matches

1.75Tip and bets
Stuttgart will probably try to win today and will play boldly – the friendly status of the match allows them to take risks. It is obvious that it will be almost impossible for Ajax to keep a clean sheet, the Amsterdammers are not particularly reliable in defense and regularly concede, and the Swabians are extremely productive at home. At the same time, Stuttgart also has serious problems in defense, Ajax will probably also take risks and play their football, the match may well be spectacular and productive.
We believe that the match will be productive. Forecast - total over three goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.99
Bet on the outcome
Stuttgart are undoubtedly the favorites of the match - the Swabians will play at home, have a very significant advantage in the selection of players over their opponents. Ajax looked decent in the last matches before the winter break, but in general there is a lack of stability throughout the season, especially in away matches. It makes sense in this situation to give preference to the hosts and count on their confident victory.
The bet is for Stuttgart to win. This bet is offered at 1.98
Bet on corners
Stuttgart will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Ajax are quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
