Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim Prediction and Betting Tips | May 27, 2023

Stuttgart will look to make it successive Bundesliga wins for the first time since May 2021 when they host Hoffenheim in the season finale on Saturday (May 27).

Die Roten are level on points with Bochum in the dreaded relegation playoff spot and need all three points to extend their three-year stint in the top flight. Stuttgart picked up a huge result in their race against the drop, as they thrashed Mainz 4-1 at the Mewa Arena on Sunday.

Sebastian Hoeness’ side were on a three-game winless run, losing twice, including a gruesome 3-2 loss against Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB Pokal semifinals on May 3.

With 32 points from 33 games, Stuttgart are 15th in the Bundesliga, level on points with Bochum in the relegation playoff spot, albeit with a significantly superior goal difference.

Hoffenheim, meanwhile, effectively sealed their safety last time out, as they cruised to a 4-2 home win over Union Berlin. Die Kraichgauer are three points above the danger zone with a healthy goal difference and will look to close out their turbulent campaign on a high.

However, Hoffenheim have not had it easy on the road, where they have just one competitive win since October.
