VfB Stuttgart-Borussia M.Gladbach Statistical Preview

Probable Lineups

Team News

VfB Stuttgart

• Antonio Rüdiger returns from suspension to start at centre-back.
• Daniel Schwaab and Gotoku Sakai compete for the spot at right-back.
• Timo Werner and Moritz Leitner could keep their spots on the flanks, with Martin Harnik and Ibrahima Traoré remaining on the bench.

Borussia M.Gladbach

• Roel Brouwers returns from injury, but Toni Jantschke will most likely keep his spot at centre-back for now.
• Havard Nordtveit is fully fit again and is the first option in central midfield.
• Manager Lucien Favre could field an unchanged starting XI though.

Match Facts

• Stuttgart have drawn their last 3 home matches in the Bundesliga.
• Stuttgart have been drawing at both half time and full time in their last 3 home matches in the Bundesliga.
• Stuttgart have won 5 of their last 6 home matches against Borussia M.Gladbach in all competitions.
• Borussia M.Gladbach have won their last 3 matches in the Bundesliga.
• Borussia M.Gladbach have scored at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches in the Bundesliga.
• There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Stuttgart’s last 3 home games in the Bundesliga.

Prediction

• After four games without a victory, Stuttgart won at Freiburg before the international break and have several injured players available again.
• Gladbach have won their last three games, but their performance against Nürnberg a fortnight ago was not very impressive. Manager Favre needs to continue to work on his team’s balance.
• Expect this to be a competitive game with several chances at both ends of the pitch.
