Wolfsburg and Sttugart are neighbours at the bottom of the table, and the host of this duel has three points more and they are safer than the guests, but both teams still near the relegation zone. Wolfsburg was definitely not expected to be there, but they have failed this season, while Stuttgart has just returned in the elite rank and it is no surprise that they have problems. Both teams made three consecutive wins, and Wolfsburg has one draw. In the first part of the season, Stuttgart has celebrated in their field with 1-0.
Three rounds and three different results for Wolfsburg in the second part of the season show all the unpredictability of this team. They started off with a very good guest draw in Dortmund against Borussia, and then they completely failed and lost in their field from Eintracht with 3-1. In the last round they played against Hannover, which is quite good this season, but Wolfsburg has been waiting patiently for their opportunity and they celebrated with 1-0.
As the results change, so coach Schmidt changes the composition in every new game, although some changes have been forced. In duel with Eintracht, Dimata was excluded, so he could not play in the last round, and center-back Uduokhai was absent due to injury. Tisserand has moved to the left-back, while Bruma and Knoche were on the center-back positions and it looked good. That was good. The newcomer Steffen had his debut, and in the meantime Mehmed came as a reinforcement from Leverkusen. They will probably not play right now, but Guilvogu and Origi return.
Probable lineups VfL Wolfsburg: Gikiewicz – Soyuncu, Gulde, Kempf – Kubler, R.Koch, C.Gunter – Abrashi – Holer, Haberer – Peterson
Stuttgart had only briefly managed to break their bad series and at the start of the second part of the championship they managed to defeat Hertha in front of their fans, after which they suffered two defeats. Before Hertha, they have lost five games in a row and hoped that the triumph over Hertha will be an introduction to better days, but nothing has happened. In Mainz they have provided a solid resistance and they even took the lead, and then, as in all other matches as guests, they have received three goals for defeat.
The problem is that they are plying weaker even in the front of their supporters and in the last round they were mastered by Schalke with 2-0. In the first 20 minutes, Stuttgart has received both goals and later there was no rescue. There is not much help from new players, so striker Gomez has not yet proved himself, while the young Larsen also arrived, who debuted in the last round. Now they have changed their coach, and instead of Wolf, they will be lead by Tayfun Korkut and this is his debut on the bench.
Probable lineups VfB Stuttgart: Leno – L.Bender, Tah, S.Bender, Wendell – Baumgartlinger, Aranguiz – Bailey, Volland, Brandt – Alario
The wins in the last round should be a hint of better days for Wolfsburg, and they are now even more complete when it comes to their team, so we expect them to dominate in this match and win, while Stuttgart is very weak when playing away and they can only hope for a draw.
