Hoffenheim vs Stuttgart: Team News and predicted line-ups
A top-four six-pointer is set to be played out this weekend between Hoffenheim and Stuttgart as they go head-to-head with just three games remaining.
After staying as a favourite to qualify for the Champions League for most of the season, the Sinsheimers dropped down the table following an underwhelming run since a 3-0 victory over Freiburg in mid-February. They could manage just one win in seven games during that period, and defeats to St. Pauli, RB Leipzig, and Mainz dampened their momentum.
Christian Ilzerâs men have rebounded from that rut with consecutive 2-1 victories recently over Bundesliga runners-up candidates Borussia Dortmund and Hamburg. Six points from these two outings helped Die Kraichgauer go level on points (57) with this weekendâs rivals, Stuttgart, trailing them by only a four-goal difference.
Hoffenheim will miss the likes of Valentin Gendrey and Koki Machida due to injuries. VladimĂr Coufal, Ozan Kabak, and Bernardo will feature in defence in front of goalkeeper . Grischa Prömel is suspended for the match after picking up his fifth yellow card of the campaign against Hamburg.
