Stuttgart vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Match Prediction
From this confrontation we expect a bright and high-scoring game. Stuttgart have failed to score in only three matches out of their last 16 Bundesliga appearances at home, and in six matches during this stretch the club scored at least two goals. At the same time, the defence regularly makes mistakes: over the previous four league matches the Swabians conceded eight goals in total.
Eintracht Frankfurt feel confident in attack on the road and have excellent statistics: in their last ten away Bundesliga matches the club left the field without scoring only once, and on five occasions during this period the team scored at least twice. At the same time, the visitors' run of away matches with conceded goals in the championship stands at ten games.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
