The reverse fixture in October was a thrilling encounter, which Stuttgart won 3-0 in a dominant display.

I predict the correct score will be Freiburg 1 – 2 VfB Stuttgart. Freiburg will make this a physical and competitive derby, using their home advantage to put Stuttgart under pressure. They will likely find a goal, but Stuttgart’s attacking quality this season has been simply too much for most teams to handle. The pace and precision of Stuttgart’s counter-attacks should prove to be the difference, allowing them to edge a closely-fought contest.

Team News Home

Freiburg will be without key midfielder Maximilian Eggestein, who is suspended for this match. Defender Philipp Lienhart and midfielder Merlin Röhl are also major doubts due to injury, which could significantly weaken their core defensive and midfield structure.

Team News Away

VfB Stuttgart will be missing their talismanic striker, Serhou Guirassy, who is away on international duty. Defender Waldemar Anton is also a doubt. However, the form of Deniz Undav provides a more than capable goal threat in Guirassy’s absence.
