Stuttgart – Eintracht Frankfurt SOCCER PICKS

Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt meet in Mercedes-Benz-Arena, in a match for the 10th round of the Bundesliga. In this stadium, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which records 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 matches. In fact, the last time these two teams played a match at this stadium was on 02-24-2018, in a match for the Bundesliga that ended with the victory of Stuttgart by (1-0). The only goal of the match was scored by E. Thommy (13 ‘). In this game the home factor may be decisive, since both teams present considerable differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Stuttgart:

After 1 win, 2 draws and 6 losses, the home team is currently in the 18 th position, with 5 points won. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Hoffenheim by (4-0), after in the previous match they have lost (0-4) at home, against Borussia Dortmund. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 30 conceded; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 14 conceded. For the championship, Stuttgart won 4 points out of 12 possible, after 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 4 matches they played in their stadium. Defensive consistency has not been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 9 matches for this competition. This is a team that has presented difficulties in opening the scoring and who only managed to score the first goal once in the last 9 games for the Bundesliga. In 9 matches in this competition, they never got the comeback in the 7 games in which they suffered the first goal.

Stuttgart is making a terrible campaign in the Bundesliga, is the team that has won the least, has lost 4 of its last 5 games and is looking for a recovery in the fight against a probable decline at the end of the season. The team presents serious problems, both in the offensive and in the defensive sector, as they scored only 6 goals in 9 games, being the third worst attack of the competition, and suffered 21 goals, having the weakest defense. These numbers help explain the disastrous performance so far. Playing at home, as in the game this Friday, Stuttgart has acted quite irregularly, since little creates and leaves many spaces in its defense, so much so that in 2 of the 4 games played at home suffered at least 3 goals . For the clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, coach Weinzierl can not count on left-back Insua, because of a suspension.

Eintracht Frankfurt:

The away team is currently in the 7 th position of the league, with 14 points won, after 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Fortuna Düsseldorf, by (7-1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Nürnberg, by (1-1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. For the league, Eintracht Frankfurt won 7 points out of 15 possible points, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 5 home matches. The team has conceded goals in 8 of the last 9 matches, so it has not presented great defensive solidity, but its attack has scored regularly, as it has always scored at least one goal in the last 9 matches for this competition. In 9 matches in this tournament, they suffered the first goal 4 times and never got the comeback.

The Eintracht Frankfurt is making a reasonable campaign in the Bundesliga, comes from a great series of 4 games of invincibility, in which he won 3 and tied 1, and goes in search of another 3 points to try to enter the qualifying zone for the European competitions next season. The team is characterized by a quality attack, which scored 20 goals and is the second best of the competition, so much that scored goals in all their games until here, but the defense still needs adjustments, suffered 13 goals and is only the eighth most solid, something that needs to be corrected for the rest of the competition. The Eintracht Frankfurt has alternated between good and bad results, but does not lose 2 games ago and in the 2 defeats that it had in this type of situation it faced the leader and the third classified one of the national championship, but when it faces more modest equipment, as it is the case of his next adversary, usually goes well. For the game against Stuttgart, coach Hütter must repeat the alignment of the last day, as his injured players will not recover in time to play.
