Fifth-placed Stuttgart welcome seventh-placed Frankfurt, knowing that victory would strengthen their push toward the top four, while the visitors arrive with similar ambitions.
Given the attacking trends, defensive vulnerabilities, and recent scorelines on both sides, this contest points strongly toward a goal-heavy outcome.
Stuttgart enter the fixture in strong form. They sit fifth in the table with 29 points from 16 matches, having recorded nine wins, two draws, and five defeats.
Their momentum was reinforced by an emphatic 4-1 away win over Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend, a result that marked their third win in four competitive matches.
Looking at their recent six games across all competitions, Stuttgart have won four, drawn one, and lost one, averaging an impressive four total goals per match.
They have scored an average of 2.5 goals while conceding 1.5, with over 2.5 goals landing in five of those six games.
At home, Stuttgart have been particularly reliable, winning eight of their last ten competitive matches at this venue and losing only once, underlining why they are so difficult to contain on their own turf.
In terms of personnel, Stuttgart may be without several squad players, including defensive options and midfield depth, but their attacking core remains intact.
Deniz Undav has been the standout figure in front of goal with 11 league strikes, while Jamie Leweling continues to be a creative hub, leading the team in assists.
Stuttgart’s system encourages verticality and aggressive attacking transitions, which have translated into consistently high-scoring matches.
Eintracht Frankfurt arrive in seventh place with 26 points from 16 matches, having won seven, drawn five, and lost four.
Their most recent outing was a dramatic 3-3 home draw against Borussia Dortmund, a match that perfectly encapsulated their season: dangerous going forward, but fragile defensively.
Frankfurt have won just one of their last six matches in all competitions, drawing three and losing twice. Across those six games, they have averaged 3.33 total goals per match, scoring just over one goal per game while conceding more than two.
Their away form is a concern, with only one win in their last five league trips, alongside three draws and a heavy defeat.
Frankfurt also have injury concerns, particularly in midfield and attack, with key names sidelined.
Despite this, they still carry attacking threats, led by top scorer Jonathan Burkardt, who also has 11 goals, and creative influence from Farès Chaïbi.
However, their defensive structure away from home has struggled, especially against teams that attack with speed and width.
Historically, this fixture leans toward goals. Recent head-to-head meetings average over three goals per game, with both teams scoring in the majority of encounters.
Four of the last six meetings have produced over 2.5 goals, and Frankfurt have edged the recent H2H record, though margins have often been fine.
Key Betting Pointers
- Eintracht Frankfurt's fixtures this season are averaging 4.13 goals per match
- Stuttgart have seen an average of four goals per game across their last eight Bundesliga outings
- Four of Stuttgart’s previous five matches in all competitions have featured at least four goals
- Over 3.5 goals were recorded in six of Eintracht’s last eight away league matches
All signs point toward an open, attacking contest.

Stuttgart’s strong home form and recent scoring surge, combined with Frankfurt’s tendency to both score and concede freely, make goals the standout angle.
With European places at stake and little to separate the sides, this game is unlikely to be cautious.
Prediction: Over 3.5 goals. Stuttgart’s attacking confidence at home and Frankfurt’s defensive issues on the road suggest a fast-paced match with multiple goals, making this a strong value betting option.
