Team News

Stuttgart
Wolfsburg
  • Striker Deniz Undav has been feeling unwell, but could make the squad. Ermedin Demirovic and Nick Woltemade are good options to have up your sleeve up front instead of the German international.
  • Jacob Bruun Larsen has also missed training due to illness, but is expected to take his place in the squad. Ameen Al Dakhil is close to a return from a thigh injury.
  • El Bilal Touré is ruled out for several months with a foot injury. Dan-Axel Zagadou has suffered another knee injury, while Luca Raimund needs an op and will be out for several months.
  • Patrick Wimmer is available after suspension, but Joakim Maehle is on the naughty step after picking up five yellow cards. Maxi Arnold misses this one with a minor muscle tear, Yannick Gerhardt is likely to step into to replace either Maehle or the skipper Arnold.
  • Lucas Nmecha has problems with his adductors, while Jonas Wind has a thigh injury. Lovro Majer is recovering from an ankle op, Bartosz Bialek has suffered an ACL injury, and Kevin Paredes is nearing a return from a foot injury.
  • Rogerio is recovering from another knee op, while Kamil Grabara has a thigh injury.

Prediction

  • Wolfsburg have won five times on the road, but have let slip a league-high 15 points from winning positions.
  • 15 different players have found the net for both Stuttgart and Wolfsburg, only high-flying Bayern and Frankfurt can compare with that figure.
  • Stuttgart, runners-up last term, now lie in fifth after edging Dortmund last weekend.
  • The reverse fixture finished 2-2 and another Desmond is the call here again.
