Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Full Time Result – Frankfurt to Win – 2.75
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Total Goals – Under 2.5 Goals – 2.00
Frankfurt to Win
They may be away from home and they may not have won for three games, but this match against a struggling Stuttgart side represents an excellent opportunity for the visitors to get back on the horse so to speak. They pick up more points on average than Stuttgart do at home, while they’re offering a lot more offensively at this moment in time, which is crucial. Against a home side that is without a goal in five games, Oliver Glasner’s men are backed to get the job done.
Under 2.5 Goals
Stuttgart’s lack of goals lends itself also to a punt on ‘Under 2.5 Goals’. They’re not scoring, but they’re also not conceding too much, shipping five in their last four, all four of which have seen less than three match goals go in. The visitors have the attacking power to do the damage required, though it’s not like they’ve been bagging themselves a glut of goals on a regular basis, notching more than once in just one of their last four. In addition, only 38% of Stuttgart’s home game have seen more than two goals go in.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Stuttgart vs Frankfurt
Stuttgart’s rather dismal run continued last time out, as they were beaten somewhat soundly by Freiburg. That result signalled two defeats on the bounce, as well as five without a win, four of which have resulted in defeat for Die Roten.
The problem for the hosts right now is that they’re simply not being effective enough in the final third. Even in their recent draw with bottom-of-the-pile Furth, Saturday’s hosts were unable to leave their mark. It’s now five games without a goal for Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men. They’ve also failed to score in three of their last five at home.
It’s not just the hosts who’re finding life in Germany’s top flight tough right now. The Frankfurt boys arrive at this point without a win in three, collecting just a single point from a possible nine. However, their problems aren’t quite the size of Stuttgart’s. For a start, it’s only one game that they’ve gone without scoring, notching a reasonable if slightly underwhelming total of six goals in their last five.
The visitors have one of the Bundesliga better away records, so even if they’re not in the best form, they’re likely to fancy themselves against a home team that is struggling right now. Only four teams in Germany’s elite division have claimed more travelling points than Frankfurt this season, who collect an average of 1.5 points on the road.
Quick Rich
A bet at a slightly greater price is ‘Rafael Borre to Score Anytime’. The Argentine has offered a regular goal threat for Frankfurt this season, scoring six times in the league, while he averages a pleasing 0.42 expected goals per 90 minutes, which indicates that goal scoring opportunities usually come his way. An average of 2.65 shots per 90 minutes is positive too.
Stuttgart vs Frankfurt Team News
Youngster Clinton Mola continues on the sidelines, while the hosts are also expected to be without the services of Omar Marmoush and Mohamed Sankoh. Ayme Barkok is unlikely to return having been involved in the African Cup of Nations very recently.

Highlighted Player
Filip Kostic
The Serbian winger continues to flourish, and while he hasn’t scored for a while, his effectiveness hasn’t diminished. Kostic offers both creativity when drifting in field, as well as out wide in terms of getting crosses into the box. With seven assists this season, the Frankfurt midfielder can make the difference.
