On Sunday afternoon, Stuttgart and Heidenheim go head-to-head at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in the Bundesliga as the home team look to record another victory.
Die Roten are in sparkling formSebastian Hoeness’ team is in sparkling form. A 3-0 win at Hoffenheim last time out means that they are unbeaten in their last eight Bundesliga games, having recorded seven wins and a draw.
Stuttgart’s recent form has consolidated third spot in the Bundesliga, as they are now seven points clear of fifth-place RB Leipzig in the race for the Champions League spots.
The home team’s potent attack has been the key to Stuttgart’s excellent form this season.
Die Roten are unbeaten in their last eight home games in the Bundesliga, having recorded six wins and two draws. They have also been prolific in front of goal on home soil, scoring at least two goals in ten of their last 12 games.
Heidenheim is hoping to end their winless runThe visitors head to Swabia in poor form. Last time out, Heidenheim drew 1-1 at home with Monchengladbach, meaning that they are now winless in five Bundesliga games.
Frank Schmidt’s team is currently in 11th place in the table, 11 points clear of the automatic relegation berths and 11 points adrift of the European spots.
Heidenheim have not travelled well in the Bundesliga recently, as they have won just one of their last five away games. However, a 1-0 defeat at Augsburg in their last Bundesliga game on their travels ended a four-match unbeaten run on the road.
Their recent away games in the German top flight have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous six outings.
What am I backing?Stuttgart has been very impressive recently, and I am backing Die Roten to record another victory.
