On Saturday afternoon, struggling Stuttgart host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, in a game that could be vital to both team’s objectives in this seasons Bundesliga.
Stuttgart could be in big trouble this season after a relatively solid return to the Bundesliga in the last campaign. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team are currently in 17th place in the German top-flight table.

While they are only three points from the safety of 15th position in the table, their recent woeful form has been highly concerning.
VFB head into this clash on the back of a five-game winless run in the German top-flight, having suffered four defeats and picked up just one point.
One of the biggest factors in that recent form has been a lack of goals, as they have failed to score in all five of those winless matches.
Die Roten have also struggled for home wins in recent months, as they have won just once in their last six Bundesliga games at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
Similarly, to their opponents, Eintracht Frankfurt’s recent Bundesliga form has been poor.
The Eagles head into this clash on the back of a three-game winless run in the German top-flight, having picked up just one draw and suffered two defeats.
Despite the recent poor run of league form, Oliver Glasner’s team is still just three points outside the top-six and six points outside the top four. A victory here could leave them in a good position in the Bundesliga table.
Frankfurt have a decent recent away record in the German top-flight, winning three and drawing one of their last five league matches on their travels. The visitors have also scored at least two goals in four of their previous five away games.
Forebet predicts that Frankfurt will boost their European hopes by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter, adding to Stuttgart’s relegation fears.
