TSG Hoffenheim vs VfB Stuttgart preview: Massive clash in the race for Europe
TSG Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim are taking it down to the wire. A strong start to 2026 had Christian Ilzer's side sitting in third, but recent weeks have been less impressive. A poor stretch saw Hoffenheim win just one of seven, allowing RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart to move ahead into the top four.
Hoffenheim's Champions League hopes are not completely done. A late winner from Andrej Kramarić helped beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1, and Ilzer's side picked up another 2-1 win over Hamburger SV last weekend. This, combined with Stuttgart dropping points to Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen, means Hoffenheim are level on points with Stuttgart.
History is not on Hoffenheim's side. The last three results between the two have been draws, and Hoffenheim have not won against Stuttgart since October 2023. Their last home win over the Swabians came in February 2022.
Team News:
Robin Hranáč and Grischa Prömel will miss the game due to suspension from yellow card accumulation. Valentin Gendrey and are sidelined with injuries, although Machida, like Adam Hložek, is back in training after a long-term injury.
