VfB Stuttgart – Eintracht Frankfurt

Stuttgart host Frankfurt in what promises to be a tightly contested clash, with the home side languishing in 14th place on three points after a solitary win and two defeats, having scored six and conceded eight. Frankfurt sit a modest five spots above them in ninth, holding four points from one win, one draw and one loss, and a slightly better goal ratio of seven for and eight against. The two teams have already met this season, and the narrow gap in both points and goal difference suggests a battle that could see Stuttgart claw back into the safety zone while Frankfurt aim to consolidate their push for a European spot. Both sides will be eager to turn their modest returns into a decisive result on Stuttgart’s turf.
