Friday night at the MHPArena brings Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach, a Bundesliga fixture pitting a side that has wobbled a bit against one in complete freefall.
Stuttgart couldn't make an extra man count against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, and Hamburg beat them 1-0 in their last league outing. A home game against the bottom side comes at a good time.
Borussia Mgladbach prop up the table without a point to their name. Back-to-back 2-1 defeats by Hoffenheim and FC Köln sum up a side short on goals and confidence alike.
The head-to-head leans Stuttgart's way, with the hosts winning four of the previous meetings. Gladbach have won two, and none of those meetings ended in a draw.
Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach Form
Stuttgart's form is decent rather than dazzling, and they sit 13th. In the Champions League, Jamie Leweling scored against Atletico Madrid, but Sebastian Hoeneß's side couldn't finish off opponents reduced to ten men after Morten Hjulmand's red card. Wing play and set pieces are still their weapons, and Ermedin Demirovic is the main man in attack.
Gladbach are in freefall. They have lost their last six Bundesliga matches. Worse, they have let in at least two goals in every one of those games, which says plenty about the back line. With Tim Kleindienst sidelined, Bolin and Isac Lidberg carry the attacking load, and Lidberg is a doubt.

Injuries & Suspensions

Vfb Stuttgart
Josha Vagnoman is doubtful with a calf injury picked up against Atletico Madrid, so expect Lorenz Assignon to come in like-for-like on the right. Maximilian Mittelstädt started that game but could be rested, while Dan-Axel Zagadou and Tiago Tomás are both unfit.
Borussia Mgladbach
The Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach lineups could hinge on Isac Lidberg, who went off early against Hoffenheim and will be assessed before the trip. Tim Kleindienst still faces another two games on the sidelines with a minor issue, which hurts given how often he has found the net against this opponent down the years.

Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Our Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach prediction is a Stuttgart win with goals at both ends. The hosts are priced at 4/11 with Coral, and the projections point to about four goals in total. Stuttgart create plenty, Gladbach defend badly, and the visitors carry enough of an implied probability of scoring themselves without getting near a result.
Best Bets
Over 3.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market, backing an open game in Stuttgart. Stuttgart have seen over 2.5 goals in 9 of their last 10 matches against Borussia M.Gladbach in all competitions. Gladbach have also let in at least two goals in each of their last six Bundesliga games, so it's hard to see this being a stubborn, low-scoring affair.
Yes in the Both Teams To Score market, with Gladbach expected to find a goal on the road. There have been over 2.5 goals in each of Gladbach's last eight Bundesliga games, so tight games aren't their thing. Stuttgart struggle to defend counter attacks, and a direct Gladbach side that hits long balls and crosses has the tools to punish that.

Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach Talking Points
Gladbach have unwanted history hanging over them here. Defeat would make them the first team in Bundesliga history to lose their opening seven matches of a season. Alexander Blessin replaced Eugen Polanski after a 5-0 defeat to Freiburg, and he has yet to stop the rot. Stuttgart's worry is their finishing, which remains their weak spot even though they create plenty. Against a back line this messy, though, they will get enough looks to make up for a few misses.
