VfB Stuttgart vs Wurzburger Kickers Prediction & Betting tips
Stuttgart – Würzburg, for both teams the game still has an enormous importance. The VfB Stuttgart has the ascension as a front runner with three points advantage and the ten goal better goal difference against Eintracht Braunschweig on rank three though almost sure, but purely mathematically not yet. In addition, the Swabians are keen to get the championship in the Fernduell with Hannover 96. For the Würzburger kickers slipped to rank 17 on the last weekend after a long downhill run, the Würzburger kickers are now two points behind the relegation place and the rescue bank only a victory, to have still a chance at the rescue.
The 3: 0 victory of the Kickers just before Christmas was the first and so far only duel of both clubs.
VfB Stuttgart :
The VfB Stuttgart has played with 32 points a good first round, which however still contained potential for improvement. And already at the start in the previous round the VfB made it clear that more is possible. The first five games in the new year won all the team of coach Hannes Wolf, but then also allowed a thirst of five winless games at a time, at least four times a draw succeeded. This negative run ended with a 2-0 victory in the Derby against the Karlsruher SC, and then, with Arminia Bielefeld (3: 2), 1. FC Nürnberg (3: 1) 2) and against Erzgebirge Aue (3-0) four more victories in series. However, the Swabians did not make a sixth victory in succession as they did at the beginning of the year. In the top game at Hannover 96 Stuttgart lost with the last weekend with 0: 1.
Despite the defeat in Hanover, a largely unchanged VfB starter is conceivable. Carlos Mane, Hans Sarpei and Jens Grahl are not available, but the squad still offers many strong alternatives.
Provisional layout: Langerak – Pavard, Baumgartl, Kaminski, Insua – Gentner, Ofori – Klein, Maxim, Asano – Terodde
Wurzburger Kickers :
After the already surprising passing through the 3rd league, the Würzburger kickers did not need a long start-up time in the second league, but played a hardly possible possible round with 27 points, the 3-0 against Stuttgart to the round off a previously recognizable Downtrend. The new year started with a 1: 1 against Eintracht Braunschweig despite a playful lead still neat, but then it ranged from the subsequent seven games to only one point. Against Arminia Bielefeld (1: 1), Karlsruher SC (1: 1) and Hannover 96 (0: 0), Würzburg remained undefeated as a result from the 26th to the 28th matchday, but also failed to achieve the great liberation blow. Even after that, 1: 1 against FC Nürnberg, 1: 1 against FC Nürnberg, Erzgebirge Aue (1: 3) and Fortuna Düsseldorf (1: 1), Würzburg did not make the trend reversal Contenders. Last weekend the kickers were in the possibly decisive game the SV Sandhausen at home with 0: 1.
Coach Bernd Hollerbach not only has to do without the injured veteran Robert Wulnikowski and Junior Diaz, but also to the yellow-clad regulars Lukas Fröde and Elia Soriano.
Provisional lineup: Siebenhandl – Pisot, Schoppenhauer, Neumann, short distance Taffertshofer, Schröck – incense, Benatelli, Rama – Königs
