"Last seen in Bundesliga action putting in a sensational performance as they cruised their way to a 4-0 romp away at Werder Bremen, Sebastian Hoeneb's men will be dreaming of a repeat display here. Likewise, securing a 4-1 Europa League victory against Macabi Tel Aviv earlier in the month, Stuttgart have already wrapped up a knockout stage ticket with time to spare."
"As for the visitors, spending the majority of last season looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Hoffenheim faced a major backlash over the summer. However, embarking on what has become a real Bundesliga romp, Christian Ilzer's side find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Remarkably opening Saturday's trip to Stuttgart with just their goal difference keeping them outside the Champions League spots."
Stuttgart have become a prolific attacking side, recording multiple multi-goal victories including 4-0 wins and a 3-2 result against Augsburg. The team has scored at least twice in seven of nine recent matches and has won nine of the last ten home fixtures at the MHPArena. Hoffenheim recovered from last season's struggles and now occupy a position just outside the Champions League places on goal difference. Christian Ilzer's team returned to winning ways with a 4-1 triumph over Hamburger and have emerged as one of the season's surprise packages. Both teams carry strong offensive momentum into the fixture.
