Stuttgart vs Freiburg Prediction and Betting Tips | September 2nd 2023

Stuttgart will host Freiburg at the Mercedes Benz Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.

The home side enjoyed a brilliant start to their season, thrashing Balingen 4-0 in the first round of the DFB Pokal before beating Bochum 5-0 in their Bundesliga opener a week later. They were, however, handed their first defeat of the season last weekend, suffering a 5-1 hiding at the hands of RB Leipzig despite holding a 1-0 lead at the break.

Stuttgart sit mid-table in ninth place with three points from two games. They will be looking to shake off their latest result and return to winning ways this Saturday.

Freiburg, meanwhile, beat Hoffenheim 2-1 in their league opener a fortnight ago sitting two goals up at the interval before their opponents scored a second-half consolation goal. They then picked up a narrow but well-deserved 1-0 win over Werder Bremen in their second game with Maximilian Philipp coming off the bench to score a late winner.

The visitors sit sixth in the league table with six points from an obtainable six and will now be looking to continue their winning streak this weekend.
