VfL Wolfsburg will face Stuttgart on Saturday - Bundesliga

In Bundesliga action this weekend, Stuttgart will host Wolfsburg at the Mercedes Benz Arena on Saturday afternoon.

Stuttgart are floundering in their race for survival. They were beaten 2-0 by fellow survival contenders Hertha Berlin last weekend, struggling to create any noteworthy chances despite dominating possession.

Stuttgart are 16th in the league table with 28 points from 31 games. They will be desperate to return to winning ways this weekend as their final two games are against far tougher opponents.

Wolfsburg, meanwhile, shook off their embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund, handing out a 5-0 thrashing to Mainz last weekend. A first-half hat-trick from Max Kruse and a brace from Jonas Wind helped the Wolves pull nine points clear of the relegation playoff spots. In the process, they all but extinguished their opponents' European ambitions.

The visitors are 12th in the Bundesliga standings with 37 points from 31 games. They will look to build on their latest result as they target a top-half league finish.

Stuttgart vs Wolfsburg Prediction

Stuttgart are on a four-game winless run and have failed to score any goals in their last three. Five of their six league wins this season have come on home turf, though. They will look to capitalise on their home advantage this weekend.

Wolfsburg, meanwhile, have had inconsistent results in their last four game weeks. They have, however, lost their last three games on the road and are winless in their last four. Considering the same, Stuttgart could win this one.

Prediction: Stuttgart 2-1 Wolfsburg.
