Our correct score prediction is a 3-1 victory for Stuttgart. The home side’s attacking machine is simply one of the most formidable in Germany right now, and they consistently find the back of the net at the MHPArena. While Heidenheim’s resilience and threat from set-pieces should not be underestimated – and will likely see them grab a goal – their defensive vulnerabilities on the road have been exposed this season. Expect Stuttgart’s superior quality and offensive patterns to overwhelm the visitors, leading to a comfortable home win.
