Wolfsburg vs. Stuttgart: Match Prediction
Wolfsburg has not won at home for a long time, but the team fights for results until the end and tries to spend as much time as possible on the offensive. In their last 30 home Bundesliga games, the team left the field without scoring only four times, and in 12 instances during this period, they scored at least twice. However, they rarely manage to keep a clean sheet: in their last nine home league matches, Wolfsburg has not kept a single clean sheet.
Stuttgart does not tend to play defensively even away from home and scores regularly: in 10 of their last 11 away Bundesliga matches, the team managed to score, and in six of those games, they scored at least twice. On the other hand, the club's defense is not reliable: in their last 12 away league matches, the Swabians have kept just two clean sheets.
I expect both teams to score in this match, so my prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
