Wolfsburg entertain Stuttgart at the Volkswagen Arena in Bundesliga action on Saturday. The hosts were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League as they were defeated 3-1 by Lille on Wednesday.

They are winless in their last five games across all competitions and will be hoping to bring an end to that streak against 15th-placed Stuttgart. The visitors have managed to avoid defeat in their last two games and were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Hertha Berlin.

Wolfsburg vs Stuttgart Prediction

Stuttgart have scored more goals (20) than Wolfsburg (15) but have failed to make them count. Wolfsburg have conceded three goals in each of their last three outings but with Casteels back in goal, they should have a better defensive outing here.

We predict the home side will have a decent outing against the struggling visitors but a clean sheet seems unlikely. A narrow win for the hosts is our prediction from the game.

Prediction: Wolfsburg 2-1 Stuttgart.
